BLODGETT Lagoon lost its battle to deannex from Farmington City, but the popular amusement park was granted court immunity from being taxed as a separate entity. Serving With Coast Guard FOLLOWING Coast Guard Boatswains Mate First Class Alan P.

Duffy Palmer Eis-tric- handed down his decision Monday He had taken the matter under advisement the past two weeks. Judge Palmer ruled in a memorandum that an amusement tax against five-pag- e Lagoon Corporation is uncon- stitutional. THIS ENDED a dispute between Lagoon and Farmington City which began last year when Farmington City Council passed an ordinance requiring a five percent amusement tax. This later was amended to seek a two percent tax on all businesses which offer amusement. Lagoon, of the is course, only amusement facility within the city. countered with two law suits against FarLAGOON mington City. The first being that an amusement tax, which sibility either.

Although apparently all of the money under the $4 billion dollar public works grant has Sheriff been allocated, Lawrence is still hoping that Davis County can receie money from a fund that he says has been set aside to provide backup if there are errors j in the funding procedure Glen COMMISSIONER Flint said that apparently $6 million of the $30 million allocated to the state has not been earmarked. Sheriff Lawrence had asked Governor Scott Matheson for $200,000 of the state money, but had not received a definite answer, he told commissioners. State officials had instructed him to submit a letter to a state clearing house requesting the money. This agency said the letter would be sent on to the Governor if it cleared this hurdle. He said the letter will point out that Davis County did not get any of the funds allocated. IN ORDER to get the proposal into the mill, the FPA study, a soil feasibility study of the proposed site northwest of Lagoon, and the Quality Glass architectural plans are required. Sheriff Law rente said the architectural plans will be available by Aug 11 The money to finance the nexation is being considered; Lagoon officials contend would be discriminatory against the resort and the second being a request to de- and Farmington would still have many of the problems it now has traffic, noise, etc. Judge Palmer agreed with the charge against Farming-tothat the tax W'as unconstitutional because it was levied only against the Lagoon.

The original five percent levy being sought would have gained about $200,000. annex from the city. n BUT AT the same time, he listed seven reasons why Lagoon should not be allowed to disconnect from the city by way of One reason these two entities should not be separated is that they (Lagoon and Farmington City) have practically growm up together, said Judge Palmer. HE THEN likened the situation to a marriage saying This case is like a married couple wath one party seeking a divorce. But this marriage should not be granted divorce without more extensive counseling to save the union. Judge Palmer then added that would create an undue tax burden upon remaining Farmington citizens; any such disconnection would have a drastic effect upon existing and proposed streets and services; it w'ould create an island in an area where an- - Public Safety Complex: Sheriff Hasnt Given Up i 500 tending were Mr. and Mrs. Blaine Umpleby, Salt Lake City; Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Seely, Bountiful; and Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Clark of Kays- These and other Ixioks will he for sale at the south branch of the Davis County Library this weekend.

Other members of the family at- soil feasibility study, which will cost about $600, will be financed by the Sheriffs Office. He said that initial soil tests have shown that there is no problem with the site. Residents of the area had pro- tested earlier that the water table would be too high to allow the construction of the building. THE EPA study will plot traffic flow patterns, factors that were under debate when a citizen's group protested the building site. County Commissioners have taken a six month option on the 7.6 acres of land currently owned by the I'tah Department of Transportation (UDOT). Theres Still Farmington contended that the city still has the fire pro- tection from that area and based its argument for the additional tax on this and other services rendered by the city. JUDGE PALMER said he based much of his decision on on disallowing the fact that the fire burden would still be there even if the I agoon disconnected from the city. Potential flooding with Lagoon resting directly in a cany'on flood channel also was cited as a reason for not allowing the resort to from the city. FARMINGTON testified that the city provides police and fire protection to the resort and said additional revenue was needed to help offset these expenses. Clark But Robinson, Lagoon manager, countered by saying that Lagoon has had its own security force since 1969 and that in three summer months of last year, 68 percent of the arrests at the resort were made by Lagoon security officers and the remainder made by Davis County sheriff deputies. None were made by the Farming-tomarshal. n HE NOTED, however, that most of the persons when arrested were transported from the park to security quarters by the Farmington officer. Lagoon officials also tes- tified that besides the tax levy being unconstitutional, in their opinion, it also would cause a drastic financial burden on the resort in light of a $2 million improvement to the park with the acquisition of Pioneer Village. LAGOON HAS approxi- mately five percent of the total property valuation of the city, yet pays about 18 percent of the citys total budget, it was explained.
