The City of White Salmon is developing a conservative budget for 2021 while at the same time trying to make sure they can continue to progress on priorities Councilors have identified.  Mayor Marla Keethler says they are keeping staff sizes where they are, but they did work in a land-use planner.  She feels that position is important in planning for White Salmon’s long-term growth and that goals are actually put into place and not allowed to sit on a shelf.  The second and final hearing on the budget will be held before the White Salmon City Council next Wednesday evening, December 2.
