The White Salmon City Council has authorized proceeding going out for bids on the long-awaited renovation of City Hall.  The building suffered water damage after a pipe broke two years ago during a freeze, and since then the City has been negotiating with its insurance company to be able to weave in repairs with a renovation that would allow the police department to move in.  Mayor David Poucher says those are not complete, but they are close enough to feel comfortable with proceeding.  They will start with taking bids on structural work.  Poucher says they will have about $300,000 to work with for the project.
