BPAC Meeting Resources

• By-laws
• Ordinance Establishing Commission
• Presenter Information
• Open Forum Committee: Every BPAC meeting includes an agenda item for members of the public to comment on any issue in BPAC's subject matter jurisdiction. This agenda item is called Open Forum. The Open Forum Committee, convened in March 2016, tracks the issues raised by the public at Open Forum. (See tinyurl.com/Oakland-BPAC-OpenForumTracking.) The Committee reviews the public comments on a periodic basis to identify policy issues for discussion by the Commission. The Open Forum Committee recommends that individuals submit specific issues to the Oakland Public Works Call Center. The Call Center will create a service request and route that request to the appropriate City staff.
