EFFECT OF LAWS. This Agreement is subject to all existing Federal and State laws, merit service rules and regulations, Municipal Charter provisions, City Council ordinances and resolutions, and shall be interpreted wherever possible so as to comply fully with such laws, provisions, ordinances, resolutions or any judicial decision interpreting them. The City shall adopt no ordinances or resolutions repugnant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is contrary to the law or any authority set forth above, it shall be of no further force and effect, but the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. When either party feels that a provision has been invalidated, it will notify the other in writing. In any such event, and upon written request by either party, the parties to this Agreement shall meet at a mutually agreeable time in an attempt to modify the invalid provisions of this Agreement by good faith negotiations. Prior to any such meeting, the City may take action it should deem necessary in good faith to comply with the law. Any such action shall be subject to the grievance-arbitration procedures hereafter for the purpose of determining whether the City acted within the scope of the paragraph. By entering into this Agreement, or by making any reference to Chapter 4117 of the Ohio Revised Code, neither party in any way waives any claim that law, or any part of them, may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid.
