White Salmon City Councilors approved a $100 a month stipend to the volunteer assistant fire chief and captains.  Mayor David Poucher says they recognize the amount of work required from those positions goes beyond a simple volunteer position, particularly with today’s training requirements.  In other business, the Council approved awarding a contract to the firm of Yost Grube Hall for design and engineering services for the proposed swimming pool project.  The firm will meet with the City’s pool committee and staff, and hold a public workshop to gather information to guide design work.
