§ 7. [Repeal of conflict; validity.]

All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed. The invalidity of any section or portion thereof of this ordinance shall not affect the validity of the remainder thereof.

To the extent required by law, in all respects this article shall be interpreted, construed and applied consistent with the requirements of Sections 92.074 to 92.095 RSMo.

It is hereby declared to be the intention of the City Council that each and every part, section and subsection of this Ordinance shall be separate and severable from each and every other part, section and subsection hereof and that the City Council intends to adopt each said part, section and subsection separately and independently of any other part, section and subsection. In the event that any part of this ordinance shall be determined to be or to have been unlawful or unconstitutional, the remaining parts, sections and subsections shall be and remain in full force and effect. In the event that the Municipal Telecommunications Business License Tax Simplification Act shall be repealed or shall be declared unconstitutional in total or in substantial part, it is the intent of the City to continue in effect the provisions of Article IV, Sections 1 and 2 of the Municipal Code as they existed prior to the effective date of the Act, unaffected by the provisions of the Act to the greatest extent possible without preventing the City from receiving tax revenues under this Article.
