OXFORD, N.J. — The Oxford Township Committee on Feb. 4 approved a series of routine and operational items, including a shared‑services agreement for sewer work, a copier lease, minutes and payment of bills.
The body adopted Resolution 2026-33, an interlocal services agreement with the Hackettstown Municipal Utilities Authority to provide sewer cleaning and closed‑circuit TV inspection services. The agreement requires HMUA to provide services within one week of Oxford’s written request when HMUA resources permit, clarifies HMUA employees perform the work (not township employees), includes mutual indemnification, and sets payment terms of 30 days after an itemized invoice. The agreement runs Jan. 13 through Dec. 31, 2026. Georgette Miller moved to approve the resolution; Linda Koufodontes seconded and the motion passed unanimously (Ayes: 3).
The committee also approved Resolution 2026-38 authorizing the Mayor to enter a lease for a Kyocera copier under New Jersey state contract R241203 with ADS American. The resolution directs that the contract be filed with the municipal records.
Other routine business included formal approval of the Jan. 21, 2026 regular and executive session meeting minutes, and a motion to pay all bills presented. The bill register printed with the minutes lists a total across funds of $648,641.51, which includes county taxes, health benefits, payroll and operating invoices.
In new-business actions the committee approved a small billing-relief request for the resident at 321 Rt. 31, waiving $1.25 in interest for 2025 and waiving the first‑quarter 2026 garbage billing. The committee also approved a donation of a season pass and two inflatable tickets to the Knowlton Fire Company/PTA tricky tray.
Clerk Lee Geller certified the resolutions and recorded votes. The committee entered executive session at 6:53 p.m. to discuss a litigation matter and returned at 7:00 p.m.; Attorney Rich Wenner stated no action was taken in executive session. The meeting adjourned at 7:01 p.m.
