§17-1102. New contracts granting rights to City suites.
No City officer shall execute any contract under which the City will be granted the right to use or control a City suite unless such contract requires that the City suite be leased by the City to the highest responsible bidder, with all rental payments under such lease paid over equally to the School District of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Cultural Fund.
§17-1103. Existing contracts granting rights to City suites.
If the City has the right to use or control the use of a City suite under a contract executed before §17-1102 became law, then the City shall lease such City suite to the highest responsible bidder, with all rental payments under such lease paid over equally to the School District of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Cultural Fund.
SECTION 2. Severability. The provisions of this Ordinance are severable, and if any provision shall be held illegal, invalid, unconstitutional or inapplicable to any person or circumstances, such illegality, invalidity, unconstitutionality or inapplicability shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions of this Ordinance or their application to such person or to other persons and circumstances. It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent of Council that this Ordinance would have been adopted if such illegal, invalid or unconstitutional provision had not been included therein, and if the person or circumstances to which this Ordinance or any part thereof is inapplicable had specifically been exempted therefrom.
