White Salmon City Councilors to move forward with a petition to create a metropolitan park district for a new summer swimming pool only, with an eye toward putting it on the ballot sometime this year. The district boundaries would be the same as for the White Salmon Valley School District but excluding Skamania County, and would be created to both construct and operate a new pool. Mayor David Poucher thinks the next step is to show what they actually want to build. To get on the ballot, the petition drive must gather signatures from 15 percent of the registered voters within the proposed district, or about 300 signatures.
