Oakwood City Council held a significant meeting on November 4, 2024, marked by a heartfelt farewell to retiring City Manager Norb, who expressed gratitude for his time serving the community. Residents are invited to an open house on Thursday from 4:30 PM to 7 PM at the Oakwood Community Center (OCC) to wish him well in his future endeavors.

During the meeting, Council Member Stevens introduced an important piece of legislation aimed at updating the Oakwood traffic and general offenses codes. This annual housekeeping ordinance aligns local regulations with recent state-level changes. The first reading of the ordinance was presented, with a second reading scheduled for the December meeting, ensuring that the community remains informed and compliant with updated laws.

In addition to these key discussions, Leisure Services Director Carol Collins provided an overview of recent activities and programs at the OCC, highlighting the department's ongoing commitment to community engagement and enrichment.

The meeting underscored the collaborative spirit of Oakwood's leadership and the importance of keeping residents informed about legislative updates and community events. As the city prepares for the upcoming open house and the next council meeting, the focus remains on fostering a thriving community for all residents.
