Vote was taken on the motion, which ended in a tie with Bradley, Obie, and Williams voting no and Haws, Delay, and Lieuallen voting yes. Mr. Delay noted he felt the Council was making a mistake in not accepting the charter. He said that it had been established that the charter was within the City policy and he felt this was a rehashing of policy matters. Mr. Bradley moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to table the item for discussion at the Committee-of-the-Whole meeting on March 23, with neighborhood group representatives providing more feedback. Ms. Campbell indicated that charters for neighborhood organi- zations in the entire city would have to be questioned. Vote was taken on the motion. Motion carried with Mr. Lieuallen, Obie, Williams, and Bradley voting yes; Mr. Haws and Mr. Delay voting no. Ms. Campbell expressed concern about what was expected of staff and the neighborhood organizations and how they should proceed. Manager indicated this specific issue h'ad not been covered in the policy and did need some clarification. Mr. Long noted that charters can exclude nonresident property owners, but this particular matter permits some, but not all, property owners to participate. B.

Metropolitan Update of 1990 Plan--Mr. Bradley distributed to Coun- cil a more complete version of the re-evaluation summary.
