The White Salmon City Council has approved a contract with a designer to put together three designs and an operation plan for a new swimming pool. The contract for $25,000 is with W.M. Smith and Associates of Ellensburg, which has built pools for other communities in Washington. Mayor David Poucher says the designs will allow for expansion in the future. Poucher said the designs should be ready fairly quickly, probably in less than a month. Poucher added the current pool is on track to open on June 16, as repairs on the pool’s control room have been made.
