City of Oakland California

The Office of the City Clerk connects the citizens of Oakland and Oakland government and provides a direct link between City Council and City Staff in the preparation of agendas, documents and minutes. The Clerk performs numerous mandated functions including the administration of municipal elections and oversight of the City’s Records Management Program.

The Office of the City Clerk's Agenda Management Division produces and distributes the weekly City Council and Council Committee meeting agendas.  They verify the posting or publishing of legal notices, coordinate the scheduling of public hearings, and complete the necessary arrangements to ensure effective meetings. They are also responsible for recording the official legislative actions of the Oakland Redevelopment Agency (ORA), City Council, and Council Committees.
