<br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />VII. CONSIDERATION OF NEW CHARTER AND BYLAWS FOR JEFFERSON AREA NEIGHBORS <br />(memo, current and proposed charters distributed) <br /> <br />Mr. Gleason introduced Ruth Miller, City Manager's Office. <br /> <br />Ms. Miller stated this is a new charter. The old charter was not as detailed as <br />that being proposed. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the format. <br />She would be willing to answer questions. <br /> <br />Mr. Lindberg noted that under the ltsting of officials, there is no indication <br />of a treasurer, yet under the board of directors, there is mention of the office <br />of treasurer. He asked if they must have a treasurer according to State law. <br />He indicated that, also, this charter would allow any person living or owning <br />property in the community to vote including people who do not live there. He <br />asked if that is in violation of the one person/one vote principle since one <br />person could conceivably own property in each of the different neighborhood <br />areas. Mr. Swanson stated that this provision does not violate State law. <br />A treasurer is not required by State law. A neighborhood group must only have <br />a president and a secretary. The office of treasurer is a matter of choice. <br />Mr. Lindberg stated that his question is more one of consistency throughout the <br />charter. Mr. Swanson stated the neighborhood group could handle this either <br />way. Ms. Miller added that the board of directors may be different from the <br />officers. <br /> <br />Res. No. 3628--A resolution approving and accepting the Jefferson <br />Area Neighbors amended charter. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Ms. Wooten asked if the neighborhood group has approved this charter. Ms. Miller <br />responded that they have. <br /> <br />Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Miller, to adopt the resolution. <br />Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />VIII. CONTINUED DISCUSSION/ACTION ON WEST UNIVERSITY REFINEMENT PLAN <br /> <br />As noted earlier in the minutes, this item has been held over. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned to February 17, 1982. <br /> <br /> <br />City Manager <br />(Recorded by Lynda Nelson) <br />MDG:LN:jw/kb/CM23al <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />February 10, 1982 <br /> <br />Page 8 <br />
