Commissions, and Committees," of Chapter 1, "General Provisions," of the Town `s Code of

"ARTICLE 1.04 BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES
DIVISION 3. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE
Sec. 1.04.039 Number of members.

members appointed by the Town Council. Members of the Community Engagement Committee
shall be a resident of the town or reside within the town's extraterritorial jurisdiction.
SECTION 3
For purposes of clarification, the current printed and online versions of the Town Code of
Ordinances incorrectly provides that § 1.04.039 contains a subsection (c) related to an alternate
member; however, the purpose, in part, of Ordinance No. 2024-19, adopted by the Town Council
on February 13, 2024, was to remove subsection (c) and delete any provision for an alternate
member of the Community Engagement Committee. Therefore, § 1.04.039 shall contain two (2)
subsections, subsection (a) and subsection (b), and subsection (c) is no longer in force and effect.
SECTION 4
Should any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance be declared
unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is expressly provided that any
and all remaining portions of this Ordinance shall remain in full force and effect. The Town hereby
declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, clause or phrase
thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses
and phrases be declared unconstitutional or invalid.
SECTION 5
All provisions of any ordinance in conflict with this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the
extent they are in conflict, and any remaining portions of said ordinances shall remain in full force
and effect.
