Ordinance 2-7.3 created the Oakland Environmental Commission.
This Commission is funded by the Borough's annual budget. In addition the Commission seeks grants from the state and other sources to fund specific projects.
The Environmental Commission was created to:
- Help protect and
develop our natural
resources
- Encourage the acquisition of open space and green
acres
- Raise the consciousness and to educate all
residents in daily
conservation practices
- Protect water resource
management, to study and make recommendations concerning air
pollution control, solid waste management, noise control, soil and
landscape protection, environmental
appearance to protect the flora and fauna of Oakland.
The Environmental Commission provides valuable input to
the Oakland
Planning Board and Oakland Zoning Board of Adjustment regarding
commercial and residential developments.
Our goal is to protect the integrity of the environment.
