The Planning and Oversight Committee is comprised of 17 Oakland residents, eight of which are youth not older than 20 years of age. One adult and one youth is appointed by each City Councilmember, and one representative is appointed by the Office of the Mayor. The Planning and Oversight Committee meets as a full committee on the first and/or third Wednesday of the month at 6:00pm, usually at Oakland City Hall, in Hearing Room 4 on the 2nd floor, unless otherwise scheduled. All meetings are open to the public. Sign up for the Mailing List located in the left menu to receive regular announcements for upcoming POC and subcommittee meetings.
