    That none of such funds shall ever be spent for any other purpose;

    3.

    That every officer and employee of the City is hereby ordered to give high priority to the completion of such projects at the earliest possible date;

    4.

    That any attempt to divert any of such funds to other purposes or projects or any failure to give high priority to the completion of such projects shall constitute a breach of City policy herein established; shall be a violation of the terms, spirit and purpose of this chapter; and shall constitute sufficient grounds for the removal of such officer or employee from his or her office or position; and
