A staff presentation noted statutory timing and submission requirements: \"Approval by the legislative body is required by July 15 and submitted to the county by July 20,\" the presenter said, referencing requirements of the Ohio Revised Code. The presenter said the city will begin detailed line-item budget analysis in August and will hold a budget work session before the next meeting.

Council did not take final action on the tax budget at first reading. The document was transmitted to council for review; staff said exhibits with detailed estimates are available and further deliberation will occur at the scheduled work session.","Council heard the first reading of the 2026 tax budget, a preliminary estimate required by the Ohio Revised Code that must be approved by the legislative body by July 15 and submitted to the Butler County auditor by July 20.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6213241,"Oxford authorizes purchase of two 2025 Ford Interceptor utility vehicles for police",67,717000,784000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3677375-ecb98ec7ac2a863e3884305dbc5a3bef&start=717&end=784","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3677375-ecb98ec7ac2a863e3884305dbc5a3bef/thumbnail_717000.jpg","/articles/6213241/Oxford/Butler-County/Ohio/Oxford-authorizes-purchase-of-two-2025-Ford-Interceptor-utility-vehicles-for-police","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6213241-b602cb55fa75b05d3bd2ef97abcd89cb/orig.mp4?Expires=1775479453&Signature=FvSmTA91-p~2JcW6Z5VRYZZhsI4uIvrEB9p6ZZ46hSfPNvDeS3614uUrRHjUzVH-LCZNJRQoYl19z33MsvpNWBBfKiC0Cu93qrIaJVGphhiIPMtX-esEh3wU4Fhm5H6OLep~uYKJi-6X~sRwlmizxgQ7B5ZBuQi-fVskrXaFQ-ufZdoV2ocwb4jvzXPsNm~EMMw~5bomvOgvfaVB3GA8Yzc2ci69TUdmiBH4IdE9sPUzpZEIOD0WJAtujyqD1uHToudt182~J3gIFzDBbUkSZ4WZJU0AxRMSSyLmE8i9RuIdEM4SReAhDLGmePulCVbcULioypCQjZ4BmHN1iiFvVw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oxford City Council authorized the city manager to enter into an agreement to purchase two 2025 Ford Interceptor Utility vehicles for the police department at a cost not to exceed $88,430.

So we've gotten more than their expected life out of them.\" The presenter said Chapman Ford in Marysville, Ohio, is honoring a prior price and the vehicles are available on the dealer lot. \"The price is being honored by Chapman Ford... they're honoring the price that we paid back in 2023 for cars,\" the presenter said.

Council approved the purchase by voice vote. No roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript. The action directs staff to issue a purchase order so the vehicles can be picked up from the dealer.","The city council approved a purchase agreement to buy two 2025 Ford Interceptor Utility vehicles at a combined price not to exceed $88,430 to replace aging Dodge Chargers in the police fleet.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6213245,"Oxford council approves up to $5.91 million contract for Oaks Trail Phase 5",113,454000,567000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3677375-ecb98ec7ac2a863e3884305dbc5a3bef&start=454&end=567","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3677375-ecb98ec7ac2a863e3884305dbc5a3bef/thumbnail_454000.jpg","/articles/6213245/Oxford/Butler-County/Ohio/Oxford-council-approves-up-to-591-million-contract-for-Oaks-Trail-Phase-5","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6213245-e85d0ba4fdd51dbefdbc02d6b443c50c/orig.mp4?Expires=1775479453&Signature=gDALd21jE4~xH6zySNYHvvtxAgZr8R0n9ZXSnFNldeaXhDZJP8kenCl3T~FVLKzgDD75PsSmBDy5gG2~WQmi~r1QVJGMjIy8wc3FbGgRL4uAB1iizTSPPvvTQsdTYLzwbeoZyTkUrJJBG1xTcij7k-zBrYOqHTiPanfIaG6K7P7MaP-3jT48LTCLkq1DhcuGd-7xFPNYM2UZs0gELxrgISlc~4BkfxyNo-poie-wE75tyQ68-E0qIAp2J8Jbt4wOVfHvf33bWh~KXF3b-Ev0mxkJSCBNq7wU1xKZniOUJBuwc3QDC5C0BHOKXTyGZhoeet5xObD6ypQwAM6B~78i-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oxford City Council voted to accept a construction bid and authorize the city manager to sign a contract for Phase 5 of the Oxford Area Trail System, approving a base contract of $5,375,000 plus a 10% contingency of $537,500 for a total not to exceed $5,912,500.

The project will connect existing Phase 3 and Phase 4 segments, link the high school and Pepper Park, cross the CSX Railroad on a major structure, add two other steel bridges and extend toward the middle school and State Route 732, city staff said. Mike (staff member) presented the design and bid results to council: \"We have a design connecting phases 3 and 4 that have been already constructed, the East West section of phase 5, which is, for your consideration tonight, connects the high school and Pepper Park, with a major structure going over the CSX Railroad, 2 other steel bridges and ultimately connecting to the middle school and State Route 732.\"

The project design was completed by Behr Becker, and the city received four bids that ranged from $5,375,000 to $6,844,000, the presentation said. Mike said the city does not have direct experience with the apparent low bidder but that references checked \"all came back very good.\" He also noted funding support: \"I should remind counsel, Miss Green did get approximately $3,000,000 in grant funding.\"

Councilors emphasized the project's transportation value beyond recreation. Councilor Jeff said the segment that connects the middle and high school \"is a really key piece in non car transportation and will allow students to have an option to get safely to and from school using those trails.\" Mike told the council that three major steel structures have long lead times and \"could take 9 to 12 months, before they come on-site.\"

Council discussion included the trail's northern 3,500-foot connector, which will pass the city's compost facility, a set pond at the closed landfill and connect to the Chestnut Street sidewalk system, the Butler County RTA multimodal building and a proposed Amtrak platform on South Main Street. Mike said the city has secured an easement from a local landowner (the Knowles of Oxford) that will help the trail reach Contreras Road.

Council approved the resolution by voice vote. The measure includes the 10% contingency and directs the city manager to execute the contract so the city can meet external funding deadlines and proceed with construction sequencing.","The Oxford City Council authorized a construction contract for Phase 5 of the Oaks Trail to complete connections between the high school, Pepper Park, the multimodal station and other city routes, approving a $5,375,000 base bid plus a 10% contingency for a total not to exceed $5,912,500.","actionData","errors"]
