Island Heights Committees
Board of Health Committee
The Board takes care of the rabies and flu clinics each year. We are basically a sounding board for problems in the borough.
Environmental Committee
The Island Heights Environmental committee was formed to advise the mayor and council on issues of environmental importance. This committee provides information to the residents via our web site and the council newsletter. Some topics the EC has addressed: Recycling, Storm water, Fertilizer use, Shade trees and Ornamental grasses along the river and Energy Efficiency.
Planning Board
The Island Heights Planning Board is a combined board for planning and zoning. The planning board’s essential duties are to deal with policy (the master plan) and the implementation of that policy through the zoning, site plan and subdivision ordinances.
Senior Advisory Committee
In 2006, the Mayor and Council created The Island Heights Senior Advisory Committee.
The ordinance and bylaws state (in part) our purpose as:
“The advisory committee shall be responsible for advising mayor and council on matters impacting Island Heights seniors (55 +), including but not limited to such areas of concern as health and social services, recreation, educational opportunities, intergenerational programs and taxation”
To date, the senior advisory committee has initiated a senior Walking Club, a monthly get-together day with scheduled events such as computer class and current affairs, trip opportunities and various other social events.
Recreational Committee
Island Heights Recreation Committee organizes events to encourage community fellowship for all ages. There are structured sporting events during the spring and summer, such as Tee-ball basketball, soccer. Additional events that are organized by the committee are bonfire, campout night, Easter egg hunt, Halloween Parade, the town holiday tree lighting and 4th of July Parade.
