Fiscal reports, updates discussed by the Oxford Township

The Oxford Township Board of Trustees held its regular monthly meeting on Oct. 13 at Township Hall. The Trustees reviewed and approved regular monthly financial reports as presented by Fiscal Officer VanFrank, who also updated the Trustees on current statuses of the subgrants awarded by the Township to TOPPS and Oxford Seniors. All funds must be expended and reported to the Township by July 31, 2026.

Road Superintendent Johnny Smith reported that he is underway with the season’s final round of mowing. Inspection and maintenance of the salt trucks is scheduled and undercoating to protect the vehicles from salt damage was applied earlier this month. He also reported that installation of the bench purchased with a grant from Butler County Metro Parks is complete. Earlier this year,   Oxford Township Trustees applied for and received a $1500 grant from Metro Parks to purchase and install a bench at the Oxford Township Cemetery at 6829 Brown Road. The Trustees are grateful to the Oxford Museum Association for their work on past renovation of the cemetery and counsel about the bench. 

Police Chief Piccioni’s report stated that in the month ending Oct. 12, the Department received 456 calls for service, made 131 traffic stops resulting in 16 citations, took 23 reports, made six arrests and responded to 19 calls for assistance to other area agencies.
