D. The combined rates charged may reflect an exemption or reduction for designated classes consistent
with Article VIII, Section 7 of the State Constitution, and the amounts of any such exemption or
reduction shall be a general expense to the Ambulance Service Utility. These expenses will be designated
as an availability cost, to be spread uniformly across the user classifications.
Section 2. Severability. If any section of this ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or invalid as
written or as applied to any particular person or circumstances, no other section of the ordinance shall be
deemed to be invalid, but rather, should be deemed to have been enacted independently and without
