Dellums to Hold North Oakland Town Meeting This Saturday

Friday October 12, 2007

Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums meets with North Oakland residents this Saturday, holding a city charter-mandated community town hall meeting from 10 a.m. to noon at the Peralta Elementary School, 460 63rd St. 

The town hall meeting is being held in conjunction with the regular Community Advisory meeting of Councilmember Jane Brunner, who represents the North Oakland area. 

If Saturday’s meetings follow Dellums’ earlier town halls, the mayor will make a presentation of a half hour or so, and then answer questions from residents. City department heads were present and available to answer questions at the previous Town Halls. 

Development and crime are expected to be two of the key North Oakland concerns to be addressed at Saturday’s meeting.
