In a 3-1 vote, the Auburn City Council approved an updated city charter Thursday night.

Some citizens in attendance spoke against the council approving the action since it will now be able to take on bonded debt. Citizens voted in 1997 to not allow the council this power. Mayor Linda Blechinger said this portion of the city charter violates state law and should have not been put in to start with.

Council member Sally Brown voted against updating the charter saying the citizens should be the ones to take that portion out since they voted to put it.

See next week's edition of the Barrow Journal for a complete story on the vote and this issue.
