Oakwood announces natural-gas aggregation rate, summer events and pool recognition
Summary
At the Aug. 4 meeting, Oakwood’s city manager reported the city joined a 22-municipality natural-gas aggregation at $7.195 per thousand cubic feet for a 19-month contract starting Nov. 2025, said an electric aggregation contract is pending, and highlighted community events and Garner Pool’s Swim Safe recognition.
Oakwood’s city manager told the City Council on Aug. 4 that the city and 21 other municipalities secured a fixed natural-gas rate and that an electricity aggregation contract is nearly finalized, and the manager described several community events and recognitions.
"They locked in a natural gas rate of $7.195 per thousand cubic feet," the city manager said, adding the contract runs from November 2025 through May 2027 (a 19-month period) through Archer Energy as part of a Miami Valley partnership. The manager said program details and opt-in information for residents and small businesses will be shared in September and posted on the city website.
On electric aggregation, the city manager said the Miami Valley Communications Council (MPCC) expects to finalize a contract within 7–10 days and that the city will provide updates once the information is available.
The manager also announced the annual ice cream social scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 10, from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at Shafer Park, noting sponsors Ulta Fiber and Dorothy Lane Market and that costumed characters will be present. Garner Pool hosted an after-hours family swim night on July 26 with about 100 attendees and will hold a second family swim night the coming Saturday; staff said Garner Pool was named Swim Safe pool of the month for strong communication and safety practices.
Council asked how residents will learn about the energy aggregation programs; the manager said the city will publicize opt-in details and post them online. No formal votes were taken during the city manager’s report.
