George The council also turned down a request for a zone change by Don Wiley which would have allowed the construction of an 80-unit storage and RV parking complex. Sparked by news that the council had agreed to sell individual tickets and books of discount tickets and not sell season family passes, the council chambers were packed with over 50 residents, led by Gaylene Hammond, who presented to the council a petition with 364 signatures. "The pool is for all the people large families, small families and individuals," Hammond told the council. "Options should be available for all needs." City Manager Jim Reams explained the council had originally opted for single tickets fearing that the sale of family passes would force less-frequent swimmers to subsidize frequent swimmers. He said the reason for the earlier decision was that "people who use the pool should be the ones who help (pay for) operation of the pool." He added that the single and discount tickets would be easier to administer and eliminate the possibility of cheating with family passes.

However, Mayor Robert Slack, explaining that although the council's concensus had been to opt for tickets, said he disagreed that the sale of family passes would reduce possible revenue. explained that while the single would suit infrequent swimmers, and the discount tickets would benefit the fairly frequent swimmer, the frequent swimmer had been left out. Because St. George Municipal Swimming Pool does sell family passes, he added, "They (Washington City families) will be paying twice as much for swimming privileges in their hometown than in St. George, and that's unfair." As for the possibility of cheating, Slack answered, "If we shied away because of cheating, we'd never pass anything.

Resident Rhaldo Turner warned the council to competitive with St. George. "I think you can no longer count the fact that it costs too much to go to St. George. You've got to stay a little bit competitive." response to a comment made by Hammond, and attributed to one of the petition signers, that Washington City is concerned with the almighty dollar than it is about its citizens, Councilman Larry Jolley noted that the council had been thinking of people in its decision-making.

"The council's decision wasn't based on the almighty dollar, but on our citizens having to subsidize those who use the pool more. We were thinking more of people than dollars," said Jolley. Bill Paxman, city parks and cemetery director, estimated the monthly operation cost of the pool, such as lifeguards, chemicals and heating, and excluding maintenance, at $4,000. The council agreed to allow the sale passes, with Slack commenting, we eliminate family passes, and upset a lot of people who support the pool and send them to St. George, then we'd be the In other business, a motion to allow Councilman Wiley's request for a zone change failed to pass when the remaining three members of the council split its vote at 2-1 in favor of the change.

Because of the reduced council, a unanimous vote would have been needed, said Slack. Wiley had requested the zone change from mobile home to commercial to allow construction of an 80-unit storage and RV parking facility on four acres adjacent to Redlands RV Park. SC mobile home moratorium extended by Loren Webb Staff Writer SANTA CLARA A building permit moratorium on modular or mobile homes was extended Wednesday by the Santa Clara City Council until a public hearing can be held. The vote on the motion was not unanimous with Councilman Rand Beacham voting against and council members Barbara Beckstrom, Lorraine Wittwer, Clark Gubler and Guy Bird voting for the measure. Mayor Parley Hassell suggested the council hold a work meeting to "hash things" out before the hearing.

Beacham maintained there weren't "one in a hundred residents" who know what the present ordinance says. It is similar to many in other Utah towns, he added. "I'm not sure a public meeting will do much. I think it will be as effective to have the guidelines (drawn up by city attorney John Palmer) as a standard for the building official and go with it by resolution. If he has to follow a building code, a public discussion won't be necessary," said Beacham.

Gubler, however, stressed there was a need to have some clarifications on the differences, if any, on modular versus mobile homes. "Just the way it is moved in isn't what we are concerned about," countered Beacham. Bird said the city's lease agreement with the Bureau of Land Management for the motorcross track, west of town, could be in danger because BLM may place the land up for sale. The alternatives are to enter an agreement to pay $1.50 a day for use of the track or continue using it and keep the area clean. The latter alternative was preferred by Bird and the council.

Resident Doug Terry's request to change a 35-mile-per-hour speed limit sign to 25 mph on north Lava Flow Lane, plus have the sign moved closer to where the street intersects with Arrowhead Trail, was approved by the council. Terry also reported Arrowhead Trail was in poor repair, was narrow and presented a traffic hazard. He asked if some asphalt could be placed there in the future. The council will honor the request. Hassell reported city attorney John Palmer sent Spearex International a letter stating it will have to pay the expense of moving a city water supply line easement near city- owned springs located one mile north of Santa Clara Drive and east of Dixie Downs.

The need for a meter on each of the five springs coming out of the Dixie Downs area was noted by Wittwer. He said the cost of a 2-inch meter would be $230 (for the Miller Spring) which can register up to a 130 gallons a minute. Three-fourth inch meters could be placed on the four smaller springs. Bush Gudgell engineer Kim Wallace should be contacted to find what happened to 72 million gallons of water that is unaccounted for over the past year within city limits. Wittwer will get the necessary meters to meter the water coming in and used in town.

Gubler reported wherever construction adds new soil to an area in town, a 95 percent compaction of fill dirt needs to occur before any new buildings are begun. There is also a need for a meter on each unit of the Swiss Village Townhomes (located on the old Gates Motor Court property), said Gubler, and one for the -built common garden area. A request by Gubler to proceed with seeking bids for cement work to place curb, gutter and drain on Canyon View Drive was given the council's go ahead. Webb to be convention speaker ST. GEORGE LaVarr Webb, a former Spectrum, editor, will be the keynote speaker at the Dixie Collegehosted annual Utah Political Science Association Convention Friday and Saturday, a spokesman said.

in rooms 103, 104 and 105 of the LiberThe two sessions will be held al Arts Building on the Dixie College campus, said Bob Slack, professor of history and political science at Dixie College. The Friday afternoon session begins at 3 p.m., culminating with Webb, currently political editor for the Deseret News, speaking at a dinner gathering at 6:30 p.m. in the college's Sun Room. His topic will be "The Republican Party and the Mormon Church." During the two-day conference and workshops topics to be discussed include: the Utah college exit poll; marketing political science; our Central American policies; the two-party system in Utah; rights of compensation for victims of crime; the changing shape of things to come Utah party activities 1980-84; the need of stronger unions for faculties at Utah institutions of higher education; U.S. foreign policy, long term options, said Slack.

VFWs to gather in SG ST. GEORGE Some 120 Utah members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization will converge on St. George Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the group's annual midwinterconference. Lawrence G. Staab, junior vce commander-in-chief of the two million member organization will be the keynote speaker at the convention's Saturday banquet, according to convention chairman Ben Russo.

Russo, of Salt Lake City, said most of those in attendance will be officers and key members of the different. Staab, of Lawrence, a 31- year employee with the LTV Energy Products was named All American Post Commander in 1964, an Outstanding District Commander in Beacham reported the city Board of Adjustments had turned down Kent Frei's request for a variance on north Quail Street to build a four-plex structure. He said there is a need for rezoning there, but not a variance. The city Planning and Zoning Commission will review the master plan and see if anything needs changing. It is especially looking along old U.S.

Highway 91 where some people think parcels should be zoned commercial. Residents should be protected, however, said Gubler, from trailer parks coming in behind their homes without warning. A sad example of that exists in the Dixie Downs area of St. George. He clarified he was not against designating trailer park areas, but felt public hearings must be held whenever an ordinance is changed.
