Summary
At the Oct. 2 meeting, Oxford Township officials reviewed a vendor estimate of about $1,600 for lake-port sanitary service for Nov'May, deferred microphone replacements to the 2025 budget, reported pedestrian-bridge DOT inspections pending, and presented bills and account summaries totaling $48,306.53.
Oxford Township officials reviewed routine municipal-business items and vendor invoices at their Oct. 2 committee meeting, including a port-o-potty estimate for winter months, infrastructure updates, and a printed bills list showing $48,306.53 across funds.
Committee member Georgette Miller said a vendor estimate for port-o-potty service from November through May was about $1,600 and that the price includes weekly cleaning. "The estimate came in around $1,600 for Nov through May," Miller said; Mayor Gerald Norton said the committee should revisit that expense during the 2025 budget process in February.
Miller also asked about replacement microphones for committee meetings; Norton said there is no budget this year and put the purchase on next year's budget list. On lake operations Miller said the township received the final payment from vendor Surfs Up and that final accounting will be presented at the next meeting. Deputy Miller read a resident letter praising lake staffing.
Township Administrator Matt Hall reported the township still has no goose permit (staff will follow up), noted an upcoming executive-session item involving DOT, and said the CFO will meet with administration to work on 2025 revenues and the budget. Hall also thanked Lt. Smith for getting a crosswalk signal working on Route 31.
Township Engineer Bryce Good said the pedestrian-bridge inspection and final DOT approval are pending and expected the inspection next week. The printed bills list (for 09/19/2024'09/30/2024) included payroll of $20,388.51, October health-insurance charges of $12,373.72, pedestrian-bridge guardrails for $2,340.00 and other vendor line items; the meeting record shows a total to be paid of $48,306.53 across the Current Fund, Sewer Operating, Lake Trust and Unemployment Trust accounts.
Township Attorney Rich Wenner reported the committee entered a roughly 10-minute executive session to discuss contractual matters and said no action resulted from that discussion. The committee adjourned at 7:07 p.m.
