Candidate Forum: Oakland City Council District 4

These areas were affected by re-districting. Candidates will answer questions important to Oakland and especially for the Panoramic Hill, Glen Highlands, Dimond, Oakmore, Lincoln Highlands, Glenview, Laurel, Redwood Heights, Montclair, Crestmont, and Allendale neighborhoods among others.  Oakland is divided into seven districts. Each district has one Councilmember with a four-year term.  In addition, one City Council member is elected by the whole city, “at large.” The Council sets policy for City departments, can change local laws (called ordinances) for things like zoning, permits and licenses or local taxes. The City Council approves City contracts and the City budget. For more information:https://www.oaklandca.gov/topics/city-of-oakland-government-101)

This event is co-sponsored by the Piedmont Pines Neighborhood Association.
