In order to increase Oxford Township's
ability to communicate with its citizens, the Township plans to create a listing
of Homeowners' Associations. This list would enable the Township to contact your
association when the Township is addressing a topic that may be of specific interest
to you and your members.
The Township often receives informational brochures
and flyers on various topics that may be very useful to you. By having a means
to contact your group, the Township would be able to provide these materials for
distribution to your homeowners. Or even perhaps arrange for a small workshop
on topics that may interest your residents.
Please help Oxford Township
by providing the name of your homeowners' association and a list of its representatives
including their addresses and telephone numbers to Michelle at 248/628-9787, ext.
103 or mzells@oxfordtownship.org.
248/628-9911
In
order to provide information to you during times of emergency, Oxford Township
and Oxford Village established the Oxford Emergency Information Hotline (248/628-9911).
The purpose of this hotline is to provide INFORMATION ONLY during emergency events.
For example, if Oxford were to be impacted by another ice storm similar to the
one it experienced last winter, a call to the hotline number would provide a prerecorded
message to the caller. This message may include information about emergency conditions,
instructions telling people what to do or what not to do, estimates of how long
the situation’s going to last, and any other helpful information that may
be available.
REMEMBER for information regarding local emergencies, dial
248/628-9911.
Dog licenses
are available at the Township front office counter. Licenses are $7.50 for spayed/neutered
and $15.00 for non-sprayed/neutered animals. The senior citizen charge (62 or
older) is $6.50 for a spayed/neutered dog and $13.50 for non-spayed/neutered dogs.
A veterinary certificate of spaying/neutering must be presented to obtain the
lower rate. Proof of rabies must also be provided for all dogs four months and
older. Checks payable to Charter Township of Oxford and cash are acceptable.
Testing of the outdoor
tornado warning system is scheduled for the 1st Saturday of each month, March
through November at 1:00 p.m. (Note: No tests are scheduled from December through
February)
Please remember to
double-check your smoke alarms. Most smoke alarms have a test button to press
to activate them for a short period of time. More importantly, please remember to change the battery.
The cost of a new battery is not as expensive as a life. Oxford Fire Chief Peter Scholz recommends that
you replace your detector's battery twice annually, when you change your clocks. |
