Trout Lake council weighs petition to join White Salmon Valley Pool district, seeks details from district board
Summary
Council members discussed starting a petition to annex into the White Salmon Valley Pool district, including questions about who would vote, district boundaries, what signatures are required (one attendee mentioned 25) and a tax-rate schedule; Pat Arnold will contact the pool district board to clarify.
At the June 3 meeting, the council discussed whether to pursue annexation into the White Salmon Valley Pool district and what steps that would require. Daina Bambe asked how the council should proceed and who would undertake the work; members raised several procedural questions, including who would be eligible to vote on inclusion, how district boundaries would be determined, and the process for getting the question on the ballot.
Minutes record a question about whether '25 signatures' are required to get on the ballot; the council agreed to verify that threshold with the pool district. Members also asked for clarification about a 'decreasing scale of taxation' over 15 years and what discount, if any, residents in a taxing district would receive at the pool. Pat Arnold said she would call the White Salmon Valley Pool board to get answers.
