Sauvie Island Call for Action

From Don at ORCOBA:

Hey everyone…particularly Sauvie Island beachgoers:

In addition to the staffing cuts being made by the Oregon State Police, potentially affecting the seasonal OSP officer position assigned to Sauvie Island (see a previous posting on this subject), it seems Columbia County is now discussing eliminating the funding for Deputy Larry Weaver’s position, effective this year, and more letters need to be written,

For those who aren’t familiar with Larry, he has served on Sauvie Island for the last 13 years and knows it intimately. He is very supportive of our group, and the preservation of Collins as a clothing-optional beach. It would be a huge loss to not have him out here.

The addresses and people to write to concerning the Columbia County Sheriff’s position on Sauvie Island are:

Rita Bernhard, Chair

Board of Commissioners

Columbia County Courthouse
230 Strand Street

St Helens Oregon 97051-0010
Email: bernhar@co.columbia.or.us
Tel: 503-397-4322

Sheriff Philip W. Derby

Columbia County Sheriff’s Office

901 Port Avenue

St Helens Oregon 97051

Tel: 503-366-4611

The County Commissioners are discussing this matter presently, so swift action is necessary.

Thank you!
