Tom Hallinan

​The City Attorney's Office provides legal advice and services to the City Council and city staff.  A review of legal issues ensures that recommendations, policies, and administrative procedures are undertaken after consideration of sound professional advice.  At the City Council's direction, the City Attorney's Office may also provide for appropriate representation for the city in all legal proceedings.

Event Applications

 

All requests require a minimum of 30 days to review.

Occasionally, citizens, non-profit organizations or local businesses wish to use City property for special events such as parades, festivals, celebration, sales, or seasonal activities.  City property includes parks, streets and other facilities owned and/or operated by the City of Oakdale.  In such instances, use of public property for private events, particularly those of a temporary nature, require prior approval by the City.  Approval of the proposed special event request ensures that proper steps will be taken to protect public property and the health and safety of all citizens.

 

 The City has prepared a Special Events Application form for your use in planning the details of such a special event and submitting a request that will be reviewed by representatives of each affected City department, and then forwarded to the City Council who may be required to formally approve the request.  Please call the City Clerk's office at 845-3573 if you have specific questions about the need for a Special Event Permit. 

 

Effective May 21, 2007, the Oakdale City Council approved Special Events Application processing fees to help recover the costs of City staff time in processing these forms.  These forms are generated from the City Clerk's office and necessitate approval from the Oakdale Police, Public Services Departments and the Modesto Fire Department.  These fees are non-refundable.

Co-Sponsored special events and in some situations, the use of private property for temporary special events may also require prior approval from the Oakdale City Council.  If you have specific questions about the temporary use of private property for special events, please call the Community Development Department at 845-3625 during normal business hours. 

 

Please print the appropriate form  to the right, fill out the appropriate pages for your event and submit with fee(s) to: City Clerk, 280 North Third Avenue, Oakdale, CA 95361.
