Engage in Oakley
The City will begin partnering with Peak Democracy to provide yet an additional mechanism to communicate with and receive input from the community.  Here is a link to the Peak Democracy website so that you can learn more about the online town hall forum program. 

The City is already very active with social media, a weekly email blast (the Oakley Outreach), NextDoor, Oakley OnDemand, a weekly press release, this weekly FYI, a quarterly newsletter (the Oakleaf), and an updated, mobile-friendly website.
 
This new opportunity, which the Council has chosen to call "Engage in Oakley," will provide a very convenient and effective way for residents to provide input.
