Oxford Township approves tax-certificate redemptions and routine budget transfers; committee signs off on bills

The Oxford Township Committee unanimously approved a series of financial and administrative resolutions at its Dec. 3 meeting, including multiple tax-certificate redemptions, a budget transfer under N.J.S.A. 40A:4-58, and authorization to pay accounts presented in the meeting packet.

Resolutions 2025-122 through 2025-131 each authorized redemption payments for tax sale certificates held by third parties and directed the Tax Collector to cancel corresponding liens from township records. The packet lists individual properties, certificate numbers and redemption amounts (examples: Resolution 2025-122 authorized $2,070.35 for Certificate #25-00011, Resolution 2025-131 authorized $16,707.81 for Certificate #25-00021). Each resolution was moved by Georgette Miller, seconded by Linda Koufodontes, and adopted by roll-call vote (Ayes: 3).

Resolution 2025-132 authorized interline transfers in the 2025 municipal budget totaling $8,710 to cover salary and other departmental needs, certified under N.J.S.A. 40A:4-58; the motion passed unanimously.

The committee also moved to pay all bills presented in the meeting packet; the printed list of bills and vendors (covering current fund, sewer operating, lake trust and developers escrow accounts) is included in the minutes. Georgette Miller moved to approve each resolution and payments; Linda Koufodontes seconded; the roll-call tallies recorded Ayes: 3 for each action.

These were routine financial housekeeping items recorded in the minutes; the committee did not record substantive debate on the redemptions, transfers or payment approvals.
