WOW! This is very cool!

How is your city government performing? This new dashboard gives every resident a direct look at how the City of Portola is doing its job. The dashboard is updated every month with real numbers from City operations.

This dashboard is part of the City's commitment to open, accountable government. Alongside the Interactive Budget Dashboard, it gives the public a picture of both where your tax dollars go and some of what your city is accomplishing with them.

Check it out here 👇👇👇

A performance dashboard is a simple, honest look at how your city government is doing its job. Think of it like a report card, but instead of grades, it shows real numbers that track whether city services are improving, staying steady, or need attention.

Please share...amazing event by City of Portola! 👉👉

The City of Portola is calling on the community to join us for our annual Community Cleanup & Scavenger Hunt on Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 8 am-12 pm.

This isn’t your ordinary cleanup. To make the effort more fun, we teamed up with local businesses to turn this cleanup into a game. 🎉

While helping to collect rubbish and beautify our city, participants will also be on the lookout for “Clean Green Tickets” hidden around cleanup areas. Each ticket can be redeemed for prizes generously donated by our local businesses. When the work is done, enjoy lunch with all the volunteers at the park, graciously sponsored by the Rotary Club of Portola.

What are the benefits? Portola recently earned the desingation as a “Clean California Community”. Led by Caltrans, this statewide program rewards cities that keep their streets, parks, and neighborhoods beautiful with access to grants and funding. This event is a continuation of our drive to engage the community in activities that provide holistic benefits.

Event details:

When & Where: Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. at Portola City Park (Gulling Street and 3rd Avenue). Early birds get doughnuts while they last!

What to bring: Participants should wear gloves, appropriate footwear, hats, and bring water. (It’s a hunt, not a race – safety first!)

Who can join: Everyone is welcome. Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. A Waiver of Liability will need to be signed on the day of the event to participate.

Lunch & Prizes: At noon, head back to the park for lunch and prize redemptions

Join us to help keep Portola clean, win some prizes, and have a little fun along the way.

May the best scavengers win!

Looking for a great way to boost your business visibility while supporting our local youth? 🌲🏌️‍♂️

The Lost Sierra Chamber of Commerce is proud to share a fantastic community sponsorship opportunity from one of our members! Plumas Pines Golf Resort is currently seeking sponsors for their 2026 Concerts in the Grove series. These free community events are a beloved tradition, bringing neighbors together for live music under the pines in Graeagle.

This year, partnering with this event goes beyond marketing. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Kids First of Plumas County, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Kids First uses the game of golf to help underprivileged youth build character, practice discipline, and learn essential life goals.

Sponsorships are tax-deductible and offer high-profile exposure to both locals and visitors in a relaxed, family-friendly setting. Levels range from the $500 Bronze "Fairway" package to the $5,000 Exclusive Gold package, with in-kind opportunities also available.

The 2026 Concert Lineup:
🎸 May 23rd: The Brodie Stewart Band
🎸 July 3rd: Heavy Petty (Tom Petty Tribute)
🎸 Sept 5th: Life In the Fast Lane (Eagles Tribute)
