Commissioners adopt Ordinance 2603 to set 2026-27 utility fund budget and rates
Summary
The Town of Oxford commissioners adopted Ordinance 2603 to approve the utility fund budget for fiscal 07/01/2026'06/30/2027 and establish utility rates after noting about 15 engagement sessions on the topic.
The Town of Oxford Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday to adopt Ordinance 2603, which approves the utility fund budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and establishes utility rates for the coming year. The board closed the public hearing on the ordinance and moved to a vote; a motion to adopt the utility fund budget was made and carried by voice vote.
Commissioners and staff told the board they had conducted extensive outreach on the proposal, with the chair noting "Maybe 15" engagement sessions and that input had been taken into account during the budget process. Commissioner (speaker 6) moved to adopt the ordinance "to adopt the utility fund budget for the fiscal year beginning 07/01/2026 and ending 06/30/2027 and establishing utility rates." The motion passed on a voice vote. The ordinance covers only the utility fund; the general fund hearing had taken place earlier in the process.
The adoption concludes the public hearing phase for the utility fund and sets the authority for town staff to implement the approved rates. The board did not record detailed rate-line items in the meeting transcript; staff documents in the packet contain the budget details and will be made available online for public review.
