The Oakley City Council recently approved the creation of a Citizen Planning Advisors program to encourage citizen participation and input in the subdivision and Design Review process. The City Council may appoint three, but not more than five, Citizen Planning Advisors to serve two‐year terms.
Applications will be accepted until Thursday, April 17, 2014 at 6 p.m.
Appointment of the Advisors is expected to take place in May. Emphasis in the appointment selection will be given to applicants with knowledge and interest in urban and community planning and knowledge and experience in the disciplines of architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, environmental studies, traffic engineering, or related fields.
Advisors will be required to file Conflict of Interest disclosure forms and comply with all the Conflict of Interest regulations about not participating in matters in which they have a financial interest. Advisors receive no compensation for their participation.
City staff will conduct at least one training session for Advisors, as well as at least an annual training meeting to discuss operation of the program.
For additional information and applications to apply, please contact Libby Vreonis at (925) 625‐7013 or [email protected]

Isn’t this just another name for the planning commission? They abolished their planning commission?
