By like resolution, the council <br />may modify or rescind any such regulation. <br />(c) The city council may rescind any such <br />regulation by resolution at any time. If not <br />sooner rescinded, every such regulation shall <br />expire at the end of 30 days after its effective <br />date or at the end of the emergency to which it <br />relates, whichever comes first. Any resolution, <br />rule or regulation inconsistent with an emergency <br />regulation promulgated by the council shall be <br />suspended during the period of time and to the <br />extent such conflict exists. <br />CD5:13 <br />
