Restaurant Re-Opening Resources

As Oakland restaurants are allowed by County Order to re-open in stages, here are some resources to adapt to this new business environment.

Restaurant Revitalization Fund Grant

The American Rescue Plan includes $28.6 billion in grants for independent food service or drinking establishments, including caterers, brewpubs, taprooms, and tasting rooms, that have 20 or fewer locations (as of March 13, 2020) and are not publicly traded. The SBA will administer the grant program.

Restorative Justice for Youth

The OYC is thrilled to partner with Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth (RJOY) this year. So many of the issues we have been working on for the past couple of years, kept pointing us towards a need for more restorative justice in this city. Ten of our commissioners have been trained to become certified RJ Circle Keepers, and now, we are leading healing circles around our community and Youth Commission.

Retreat & Strategic Plan Ad Hoc

This ad hoc committee's temporary nature allows for a focused effort in organizing a strategic planning retreat and drafting a comprehensive plan to guide the commission's activities, initiatives, and decisions over a specified period. The strategic plan serves as a roadmap to help the police commission achieve its objectives, improve operations, and better serve the community.

Rules Ad Hoc

The Rules Ad Hoc is tasked with reviewing and refining the rules governing the work of the Oakland Police Commission.

Rules for Transporting Construction and Demolition Debris

Parties collecting, transporting or disposing of construction and demolition (C&D) debris in Oakland are required to obtain a Non-Exclusive Franchise (NEF) from the City of Oakland, (with limited exceptions, as described below).

No additional applications are being accepted at this time. Please check back for updates. To be added to the waitlist, send an email to ResidentialLending@oaklandca.gov with your property address.

Safety Element, Adopted 2004

The Safety Element is a required chapter of the General Plan and is a policy framework to guide the public decision-making process on addressing natural and human-caused hazards.

Safety Orientation for Public Works Employees

Safety First is our Oakland Public Works Department program that is the foundation of employee safety, and it gives each employee the responsibility to conduct themselves in a manner that promotes safety and health throughout the workplace and in the public domain.
