The City of White Salmon is asking its voters in the November election to extend a one-year levy lid lift to cover swimming pool operating costs in 2018. The levy lid lift is for 18 cents per thousand dollars of assessed property value, and has been in effect for the last five years. Mayor David Poucher says they are seeking to keep the levy in effect for one final year of pool operation before a new facility is constructed to open in 2019. Poucher says they currently have $700,000 in donations to put toward construction of a new pool. Poucher said a construction bond for the remaining cost of a new pool will go to the ballot box early next year.
