Oakdale Recognizes Public Works Week, Promotes Spring Services

Meeting date: May 19, 2025
Published Sep 8, 2025

Oakdale Mayor Zabel used his Monday Morning Minute on May 19 to recognize National Public Works Week and remind residents about seasonal city services.

The mayor praised the Public Works Department staff for their year-round dedication to maintaining the city's infrastructure. "They do everything from maintaining our parks, streets, fleets, and utilities, to forestry and environmental services," Zabel said during the brief video update. "They work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our community clean, safe, and well-maintained."

Zabel urged residents to submit spring license and permit applications promptly to allow sufficient processing time. The city offers online applications for convenience, eliminating the need for residents to visit City Hall in person.

The mayor also promoted discounted Home Energy Squad visits available to Oakdale residents through a city program. The service provides home energy efficiency evaluations, installation of energy-saving materials, and ongoing support resources. Availability is limited to a specific number of residents.

The Monday Morning Minute serves as a regular communication tool between the mayor's office and Oakdale residents, typically covering city updates and seasonal reminders.
