Section 3. This ordinance shall be effective only until March 1, 2013, unless earlier amended or extended, and if no further action on this ordinance is taken by such date, Section 13.32.080 shall automatically once again become effective as it existed on February 4, 2008, as. follows: 13.32.080 Overnight parking.
