The Annual Meeting will be an opportunity to learn about Oakland’s revised vegetation management plan and assess whether the plan and its Environmental Impact Report (EIR) merit support. Janani Ramachandran, the Oakland District 4 Council Member who represents the Oakland Hills neighborhoods, will be the keynote speaker. She will be accompanied by Joe DeVries, Oakland’s Deputy City Administrator; who continues to coordinate the City’s work across departments to reduce the risk of wildfire.

Janani started on the Oakland City Council in January 2023 and hit the ground running after campaigning on the health and safety of her residents, particularly regarding wildfire. She brought her experience as an attorney and community advocate to the table, including an exploratory visit to Garber Park and securing funding for Oakland’s Department of Tree Services.

Joe started working for the City of Oakland more than two decades ago. He’s worked in Oakland’s Department of Neighborhood Services and has established himself as a problem solver who gets things done, including fire prevention work along Grizzly Peak and Skyline boulevards.
