e Mr. Boles reiterated his concerns about the charter. He felt it important to be clear about how the City deals with a lobbying-oriented, property owners association. Roll call vote; the motion failed 4:3, with councilors Nicholson, Green, Boles, and MacDonald voting against and councilors Rutan, Robinette, and Bascom voting in favor. Mr. Boles moved, seconded by Mr. Nicholson, to refer the In- dustrial Corridor Community Organization's application for limited recognition to the Neighborhood Leaders Council and ask the NLC to report back to the council, and that considera- tion of the resolution be postponed to a later date. Mr. Green moved, seconded by Ms. Bascom, to have the NLC re- port back to the council December 2. Mr. Rutan expressed concern about the council not adopting a charter that was almost identical to an already council-adopted charter. He also expressed concern about the short time frame that the council was giving the NLC to review the ICCO's charter. Mayor Miller concurred. Mr. Riddle, ICCO member, estimated that the ICCO would not want to continue seeking limited recognition under the circumstances. He said that the ICCO has been meeting for two years. He respectfully questioned what the City has to offer the ICCO. e Mr. Boles said the ICCO was fundamentally different from other neighborhood organizations. He felt that the ICCO's application provided an opportunity for the council to be clear about how it would relate to similar organiza- tions as the ICCO in the future. Responding to Mr. Riddle's question, Mr. Boles said the City has a lot to offer, including participation in the Neigh- borhood Leaders Council. Roll call vote; the amendment failed 4:3, with councilors Nicholson, Rutan, Robinette, and Bascom voting against and councilors Boles, MacDonald and Green voting in favor. Roll call vote; Mr. Boles' motion failed 4:3, with councilors Green, Rutan, Robinette, and Bascom voting against and coun- cilors Nicholson, Boles and MacDonald voting in favor. Mr. Nicholson moved, seconded by Mr. Robinette, to reconsider the main motion. Roll call vote; the motion passed 5:2, with councilors Nicholson, Green, Robinette, Rutan, and Bascom voting in favor and councilors Boles and MacDonald voting against. Responding to questions, Ms. Donahue said the Model Charter has been adopted by resolution by the council. She said the differences between the Model Charter and the ICCO's charter were outlined in the City Attorney's memo. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council November 4, 1991 Page 3
