the Council may, after five and within thirty days after the bill has been so returned, reconsider <br />the vote upon the bill. If the bill, upon such reconsideration, is again passed by the affirmative <br />vote of two-thirds of the entire membership, the Chairperson shall verify that fact on the face of <br />the bill and such bill shall become effective as an ordinance with like effect as if approved by <br />the Mayor. A bill failing to pass upon such reconsideration shall be deemed lost. <br />If any appropriation bill is presented to the Mayor, the Mayor may veto any item <br />or portion thereof by striking out or reducing the same. The Mayor shall append any objections <br />and the reasons therefore to the bill at the time of signing, and the item or portion thereof so <br />vetoed shall not take effect unless the Council shall reconsider the vote on the bill and, upon <br />such reconsideration, the bill is again passed by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the entire <br />membership. <br />In the case of the annual operating budget, the Mayor shall return the bill to the <br />Clerk within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the bill. (Section 10-5, Hawaii County Charter) <br />5. Resolutions. Resolutions are non-legislative acts of the Council and, except as <br />otherwise provided by law, no resolution shall have the force and effect of law. There shall be <br />two basic types of resolutions which may be processed: <br />(a) Formal Resolutions. This type of resolution represents an official Council <br />expression and, therefore, generally has considerable weight. There are <br />three categories of formal resolutions: <br />(1) Official decision. <br />(A) Resolution organizing the Council and staff; <br />(B) Resolution delineating the Council's rules of procedure; <br />(C) Resolution calling for moratoriums on parking meter usage, <br />traffic control, etc.; <br />(D) Resolution tendering assurance of participation for <br />certification requirements mandated by federal or state <br />agencies, e.g., HUD, block grants; <br />(E) Resolution approving multi-year leases, purchases, contracts, <br />etc.; <br />(F) Resolution amending the salary ordinance; and <br />(G) Resolution transferring funds. <br />(2) Leoislative-like. <br />6 <br />
