Oxford City Council will review a new greenhouse gas inventory prepared by Power a Clean Future Ohio after a June 3rd work session with the Climate Action Steering Committee — the report will show key emissions from electricity and transportation and help guide the city’s push toward carbon neutrality by 2045. The final numbers will be reported in late June or July.

Oxford police issued 40 litter citations and 43 noise violations through May—marking a seven-year low linked to weather and staffing issues.

Lieutenant Adam Price said enforcement relies on community calls—especially from student parties—and that citation numbers may rise when the school year resumes.
