It will be a busy Monday for public meetings in the area. Skyline Hospital in White Salmon will hold a public forum to update the community on the hospital’s exploration of a possible affiliation with a larger health system and give the public an opportunity to answer questions. That will start at 5:30 Monday evening in the hospital’s downstairs meeting space. The Dalles City Council also meets at 5:30 Monday in The Dalles City Hall, with a discussion of transportation system funding planned. And the Hood River Council meets Monday at 6 p.m. in Hood River City Hall.
