25 COUPON by Jeanette Rusk Staff Writer ST. GEORGE Arguments over how to use council funds and authority of the Architectural Control Committee dominated the regular monthly meeting of the Bloomington Community Council Thursday. A dozen members of the community, in contrast to the typical handful, attended the meeting. The council and members of the audience were sharply split on the question of whether to make a $1,500 donation from council funds to the new Bloomington Elementary School for needed equipment and supplies. PTA president Jane Hess detailed some of the needs of the school that the district has not been able to take care of yet, such as books, film strips, student computers, and additional playground equipment.

Councilman Lyle Drake made a motion that $1,500 recently discovered in a special bank account "left over from years ago" be donated to the Washington County School District "foundation," earmarked for use at Bloomington Elementary School. Improve community Councilman Reed Tueller took strong exception to the idea, and was joined by members of the audience. "That money should be used to improve the community," Tueller said. "I don't think the majority of people would look favorably on our turning it over to the school." Tueller went on to say that the school has other means, but the Community Council must rely on voluntary $10 membership donations from Bloomington residents. He said he feels some of the $5,000 now in the Community Council fund should be used on projects such as weed control, mosquito abatement, and road improvements like street signs.

"It should be left there for contingencies for the community council," argued Toni Paige. "It's premature to give it away," added Cecil Buck. "If we give the money away, next time we won't be able to collect the memberships as easily, said Mack Lee, who was involved in the membership drive conducted during council elections last spring. Twice as far Drake argued that a donation given now will go twice as far because of a recently instituted state matching grant program that will match funds donated by private individuals or businesses to the school district about $5,300 is allotted to the Washington County District. "I can't think of a better community improvement," Drake asserted.

"The great community center. even talk of using it for our meetings." Council chairman Merrill Ellis sided with Drake. However, after a lengthy discussion, Councilman Paulsen made a compromise motion that $500 be donated and the motion passed 3-1, with Tueller dissenting. Battle lines also were sharply drawn on the issue of how much enforcing authority the Bloomington Architectural Control Committee ought to have. ACC Chairman Paulsen suggested that perhaps Bloomington should follow the lead of Bloomington Hills and organize the citizens to pass an "enabling ordinance," which would give the ACC authority to go to court to enforce its rules.

Take action Drake, an attorney, argued that when people "Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions," it is the neighbors and people affected by the offense who ought to take action. "Do we want to get involved in what is essentially a private dispute?" he questioned. "Why have an Architectural Con- trol Committee if it doesn't have any power?" countered Paige, joined in the argument by Lee. Paul Rauch, another ACC member, disagreed with Paulsen, saying he feels that the committee has been able to achieve its objectives by requesting voluntary action from developers, builders, and homeowners, and that he wouldn't want the committee to the responsibility of taking legal action. have, The discussion ended with no resolution.

In other matters, the council dicussed whether the ACC should raise its fees charged builders who must submit their plans to the committee as well as to the city planning staff. Paulsen suggested a refundable cleaning fee be raised from $200 to $500, and a nonrefundable charge for reviewing the plans be upped from $15 to $25. Rauch said he didn't think it necessary to raise the cleaning fee that the $200 deposit has worked. Fees raised The council voted to recommend that the fees be raised to $500 and $25, but said the ACC itself should make the final decision of appropriate amount to increase the cleaning deposit. The council heard a report from Paulsen and Larry Eck on their watchdog efforts concerning the city's plans to build an expanded sewer plant south of Bloomington.

The two said they are particularly concerned about the "oxidation ditch" type alternative the city is pursuing and possible odor problems it could create. "As far as we're concerned, we don't want this system," said Paulsen. Eck said he is visiting an "oxidation ditch" type plant in Chandler, at his own expense next week to check on how it is working, and will report back to the community council and Larry Bulloch, St. George public works director.

Victims Horst Werner Joetski, 54, Judy Dean Semingson, 32, and Mary Jayne Long, 25, were rescued unharmed two days after the abductions.

Officers closed in on the suspects and their victims on Feb. 26, making the arrests on Ft. Pierce Road in Bloomington Hills, a subdivision George, located just above the state line. A fourth victim, Eric Karl Joetski, 25, son of Horst Joetski, escaped Feb. 25 from the abductors in Las Vegas.

A federal complaint alleged the four victims were abducted at gunpoint at Joetski's business in Lake Havasu. They were subsequently driven to a motel in Henderson, and later removed to another motel in Las Vegas where Eric Joetski escaped. The kidnappers allegedly made a series of telephonic ransom demands of $275,000 through Christa Smuitt and a brother-in-law in Seattle, for the safe release of the victims. The suspects were finally arrested by FBI agents from Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, along with the St. George Police Dept.
