152 Rescinding or altering resolutions (1) A resolution of the council may not be altered or rescinded: (a) unless a notice of a motion to alter or rescind the resolution is given at the meeting at which the resolution is passed; or (b) within 3 months after the date of the passing of the resolution, unless notice of motion is given in accordance with this Part to alter or rescind the resolution. (2) Where, in accordance with clause (1)(a), a notice of a motion to rescind a resolution is given, the resolution is not to be carried into effect, except as provided in clause (3), unless the motion is put and lost. (3) A resolution of the council referred to in clause (2) may be carried into effect where the members present at the meeting, by resolution, defer consideration of the motion to rescind the resolution. (4) A resolution under clause (3) is not to defer consideration of the motion for longer than 3 months.

(6) This by-law does not apply to a motion referred to in by-law 153. (7) Where a resolution of the council relates to a matter the subject of a previous resolution passed by the council more than 3 months before the later resolution, the previous resolution is, to the extent that it is inconsistent with the later resolution, altered or rescinded.
