This Community Information section is a new initiative sponsored by the Sauvie Island Community Association (the county’s rural equivalent to a neighborhood association).  The drop-down menu under The Island Community is divided into these areas of interest to island residents and business owners:

Alerts, Bulletins and Ads.  Alerts provide urgent, time-sensitive information and are posted in the first drop-down box.  Bulletins provide issues of wide-spread interest to the general island public and for-fee classified ads are provided as a customer service and a source of revenue used in support of this website; these two are located at the side bar of Alerts.  Please note:  Notifications of Alerts will be emailed to all those requested to be notified.  Island residents and island business owners may request to be added to this database (solely used by Sauvie Island Community Association for limited distribution) by sending their name and email address to communityassociation@sauvieisland.org .

Island Organizations provides a list of island organizations along with their purpose statements, points of contact, and information about thier meetings.   

County Contacts and Land Use Information page calls up county agency contact information and tools to help islanders understand and comply with existing Mulnomah and Columbia County zoning rules and processes.  It includes county contacts, information about land-use terminology, and helpful links to reference material, maps and application forms dealing with the land-use permitting process.  The Land Use drop-down side bar contains links to the status of current permit applications, notices regarding hearings, meetings, key decisions, as well as information about significant historical land-use decisons affecting Sauvie Island.
