conflict with the Constitution or laws of this state or by the United States. (2) The powers herein granted shall be in addition to all other powers granted to cities by other provisions of law. (3) The provisions of this chapter shall be broadly construed and considered in the light of the express legislative purpose set forth in subsections (1) and (2) hereof. (4) The powers herein granted are based upon a legislative finding that the urban crisis cannot be solved by actions of the General Assembly alone, and that the most
effective agency for the solution of these problems is the government of a city of the
first class. This legislative finding is based upon hearings held by the General
Assembly and the conclusion of its members that conditions found in cities of the
first class are sufficiently different from those found in other cities to necessitate
this grant of authority and complete home rule. History: Created 1972 Ky. Acts ch. 243, sec. 1.
