Committees

OCCA’s all volunteer committees address the important issues facing our community. To learn more about becoming involved in a committee, email us and include the committee name in the subject line.

Communications Committee

Chair: Lynell Wilcha
The OCCA Communications Committee keeps up on Old City events and issues and works to inform the community through OCCA's website, newsletter and e-mail updates.

Developments Committee

Chair: Rich Thom, Co-Chair: Joe O’Donnell
The OCCA Developments Committee holds public meetings twice a month where the Committee monitors development activity, responds to zoning variance requests, histoic commission submissions and proactively encourages development that meets the requirements under the established zoning code and special zoning overlay for Old City.

To qualify for voting rights, members must attend four consecutive meetings. Committee members must attend at least two Zoning Board of Adjustments (ZBA) Hearings per year. See meetings for further details.

Liquor Committee

Chair: C. Richard Horrow
The OCCA Liquor Committee holds monthly meetings to monitor liquor postings, discuss new liquor license applications, meet with establishment owners, review Liquor Control Board activities and formulate responses to liquor code violations.

Membership Committee

Chair: Ryan Berley
The OCCA Membership Committee serves as a resource, providing information about OCCA and its work to prospective, new, and existing members. The Committee plans events that provide a forum for existing members to interact, pursue their interests, and get involved with issues affecting the community.  The Committee is also responsible for renewals, new member mailings and maintaining membership list.
