Oakley Leadership Academy to Offer a Behind the Scenes Look at City Government

The City of Oakley is inviting residents to participate in the 2016 Leadership Academy. The Academy is a free, interactive civic education program designed to provide those who live and work in Oakley with a breadth of background and knowledge of the intricacies of City operations and processes. The purpose of the Academy is to provide an interesting perspective into the working of Oakley, to develop civic leadership, and to build a stronger community through well-informed and engaged residents.

Participants will meet for seven evening sessions, each two hours in length beginning at 6:30 p.m. and ending at 8:30 p.m. Each session will focus on a specific element of city government through an engaging presentation and discussion facilitated by top City staff. The Academy will meet for the first time on Tuesday, October 4th and thereafter on the first, third and fifth Tuesdays of each month through December 13th 2016.

Class size is limited to the first 25 respondents, on a first-come, first-served basis, but no later than 6:00 p.m. on Monday, September 19th. A registration form may be found on the City’s website (click here) or at City Hall, located at 3231 Main St. Oakley. Registration automatically closes at 25. If you find the class is full, sign up to be on the wait list to be notified should space become available this year. Those on the wait list who do not get to partake this year, will be given advanced notice to register in 2017. For the wait list click here. 

To participate, an applicant must be at least 16 years of age, live or work within the boundaries of the City of Oakley, and commit to attending the entire series.

If you have any questions please contact Nancy Marquez-Suarez at 925-625-7007 or marquez@ci.oakley.ca.us.

Take Our Engage in Oakley Survey on the Planning Commission

The City Council is currently considering whether to re-establish the Planning Commission as a separate body or keeping the responsibilities of the Planning Commission as they are currently set up, which includes a small group of residents who serve as Planning Advisors.

We have developed a survey that will measure residents’ satisfaction with the current set up and also gauge the level of interest that our residents may have in serving on a Planning Commission and/or as Citizen Planning Advisors.

We want your input! Visit our Engage in Oakley platform at https://www.ci.oakley.ca.us/engage-in-oakley/ and complete a brief survey before March 8th.  Stay in touch with our social media for updates.
