Oxford approves right-of-way permit process and a USDA-backed test-well contract
Summary
Commissioners approved Resolution 2602 to establish a process for work in town rights-of-way and Resolution 2603 to formalize a contract with Somerset Well Drilling for a USDA-funded test-well as part of the Oxford water-system improvement project.
The commission introduced and approved Resolution 2602 to create a permit process for work in town roads, sidewalks, or rights-of-way. Town manager Holly said the resolution establishes required notification, contractor insurance certificates, and public-works involvement; the commission will consider any fee through the budget process or future ordinance amendment rather than in this resolution.
Commissioners also approved Resolution 2603 to formalize a contract with Somerset Well Drilling for the test-well phase of the Oxford Water System improvement project. Holly explained this is a USDA loan/grant-funded project and the formal resolution provides USDA-required documentation to proceed with disbursements and project checks and balances.
