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.
