Revisions in Whiteaker and Westside Neighborhood Charters--Memo and revisions distributed to Council. A. Whiteaker Charter revision--Manager said the main purpose was to define more precisely the relationship of the main Council to four neighborhood groups within the area. He said it also provided more definitive roles for officers and particular committees. David Filer, representative of the Whiteaker Neighborhood Council, said he was available to answer questions. Mayor Keller noted the amendments were to establish four district areas into one neighborhood organization, asking if it might be better to have four separate neighborhood organizations. Mr. Filer replied he would have to have more discussion with the neighborhood groups and the City before making such a determination. He did not know why or when the present boundaries were drawn, but noted they were separated by mandate or natural factors. He said these barriers divided the communities into various sections, and to address various problems in those sections, it seemed more logical to have the four groups working on a small scale. The issue of e having four separate neighborhood groups had not been discussed and not felt necessary by the Whiteaker Council, so had not been cons i dered. 6/22/77 --3 Lf95
