City Charter

Section XVII – Effect of Charter
All general laws of the state applicable to municipal corporations now or hereafter enacted, which are not in conflict with the provisions of this Charter or with ordinances or resolutions of this City, shall be applicable to this City, provided however, that nothing contained in this Charter shall be construed as limiting the power of the Council to enact any ordinance or resolution not in conflict with the Constitution of the State or the express provisions of this Charter.

The enumeration of particular powers of this Charter shall not be held or deemed to be exclusive but, in addition to the powers enumerated herein, implied thereby or appropriate to the exercise thereof, the City shall have and may exercise all other powers which, under the Constitution of the State of Ohio, it would be competent for this Charter specifically to enumerate. The determination that any part of this Charter is invalid shall not invalidate or impair the force or effect of any other part hereof, except to the extent that such other part is necessarily dependent for its operation upon the part declared invalid.

All ordinances, resolutions and other measures in force at the time of the taking effect of any amendments to this Charter, not inconsistent with its provisions, shall continue in effect until amended or repealed.
