The adoption of any charter or amendment does not destroy any property, action, right of action, claim, or demand of any nature vested in the county. All rights of action, claims, or demands are preserved to the county and to any persons asserting any claims against the county as completely as though the charter or amendment had not been adopted. The adoption of any charter or amendment affects neither the right of the county to collect special assessments previously levied under any law or charter for the purpose of public improvements, nor impairs the obligation of any existing contract to which the county is a party.
