6. Postpone Indefinitely. When a question is postponed indefinitely, the same shall not be acted upon again or revived at any subsequent meeting of the Council which so disposed of such questions unless by consent of the majority of the Council. 7. When a motion in one of the categories described in paragraph 4, or another incidental motion fails or is decided in the negative, the same shall not be revived at the same meeting relative to the main question under discussion. If all fail or are decided in the negative, the only remaining question shall be as to the passage or adoption of the bill, resolution, or other main question. 8. Notwithstanding paragraph 4, Council- initiated bills to amend the Subdivision Control and Zoning Codes of the Hawai'i County Code shall be disposed of at the Committee on Planning in the following manner: (a) The introducer shall make a motion to refer the bill to the Planning Director and designated planning commission, or both commissions, as provided by the Charter, for their review and respective recommendations. (b) Prior to the vote on the motion for referral, the Committee on Planning may amend the bill, if it so desires. (c) After review by the Planning Director and designated planning commission, or both commissions, as provided by the Charter, the bill shall be returned to the Committee on Planning for further action. (d) A failed motion to refer as provided in subparagraph (a) shall mean that the bill has failed and thus shall not be acted on further by the Council or its Committees. [8:] 9. Adjournment. Meetings may be adjourned at any time by motion and vote. Unless otherwise specified in the motion, every meeting shall be considered adjourned to the usual hour of meeting on the next regular meeting date. A motion to adjourn is always in order and shall be decided without debate. 4
