WHITE SALMON — The White Salmon City Council agreed to an increase in the salaries of all elected officials, with a raise for the mayor effective almost immediately, and a raise for councilors effective following the next election for each position.
WHITE SALMON — White Salmon City Councilors will be considering a proposal to allow the mayor to declare a water emergency and implement mandatory conservation measures at this Wednesday’s city council meeting.
The proposed amendments to the municipal code on water conservation would grant the mayor the authority to declare various stages of water emergencies and implement conservation measures based on the severity of a given emergency.
The bathrooms at Rheingarten Park in White Salmon will soon be getting a major face-lift. The White Salmon City Council last Tuesday approved the funding and design for an upcoming mural project to be installed along the north, south, and west-facing walls of the facility.
Residents in Hood River and White Salmon celebrated the holiday season last week with community tree lightings and other festivities Friday and Saturday, Dec. 3-4. In Hood River, downtown streets were closed to traffic and crowds gathered to enjoy a static parade, tree lighting and shopping, with most downtown retail stores open for business. Live jazz music was performed early in the evening, and parade entries were parked down the middle of Oak Street.
