The resident who brought the issue to the city's board of adjust- ments two months ago has now filed an appeal of the board's decision in 2nd District Court. A hearing date has not been set yet. The board granted a variance to Lagoon Corp. in August for the roller-coast- ride. er The issue began around July, when resident Vik Arnold told the city council he thought the amusement park ride was violating the citys height allowance ordinance. The ride measured almost 87 feet from the ground to the top of the tallest handrail, he said, making it in violation of the ordinances 85 foot allowance. The city zoning administrator measured the ride and came back with an average 86 feet and 57 inch measurement. Lagoon Corp. officials said they believed the ride was not in violation of the ordinance. The ordinance is not clear and applies mainly to buildings, rather than structures, Lagoons attorney for the matter said. The city issued a letter of violation to Lagoon Corp, who appealed the matter to the citys board of adjustments. The hearing was held to decide whether the administrators zoning measurements had been reasonable and correct, and if so, what to do about the matter. The board granted a variance to Lagoon, which the corporation had requested, 'and said that nothing further should be done about the height issue.

But the questions of how to improve the system and who will pay for the changes - cities, the remain. They county or both probably wont be answered for some time yet. Officials in emergency communications met last week to discuss the countys situation. One of the main problems with the countys emergency communication sytem, which includes police, fire and EMT departments, is coverage of the fringe - areas. The other main problems are congestion of air time and the cost and financing of an updated county-wid- e system, said Sheriff Brant Johnson. He addressed the monthly meeting of the countys law enforcement administration association. One of my rules is, broken, dont fix it. if its not Our emergency communications system isnt broken now, but it will be in a few years if something isnt done, he said. County Commissioner Harry Gerlach said the only way to make an. improved emergency communications system work is by cooperation. The golden question is financing such a system. Is it a county, a city, or a joint function? he The county has traditionally paid about 80 percent for the communications system opera-tip- n. How long can we continue to do this? I dont know, he said. Cities have more revenue options available than the county, he said. Some cities sell electirici- ty, most sell water service, and most have sales, franchise and property tax to draw on. Revenue sharing and arranging residents garbage collection are also methods of revenue, he noted. The county, however, has property tax and fee collections as its basic 716-1- revenue 1, I2M.
