OXFORD, MARYLAND — Oxford Commissioners were scheduled to meet Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2026, at 6 p.m. at 101 Market Street for a regular meeting. The posted agenda set the night for in-person attendance and a Town Hall Streams video link.
The special presentation and new-business block listed:
The agenda listed the Robert Morris Inn pitch and related letters among the night’s materials, introduced the OCC lease second amendment and FEMA escrow releases as new business, and kept Ethics Ordinance and purchasing-policy charter work in the work-session column. Resolution 2601, introduced on the Sept. 8 agenda for Charter absentee and nomination timing, was not named under ordinances and resolutions on the Sept. 22 agenda.
The agenda also carried Commissioners’ comments, the town manager’s report, unfinished business, and public-comment rules with a three-minute in-person limit and a Friday-noon email cutoff to oxfordclerk [at] oxfordmd.gov for comments the town said it would attach to that meeting’s posted materials.
The posted agenda does not record how Commissioners voted on the lease amendment, the escrow releases, or any ordinance. Minutes for the Sept. 22 session were not posted as of Wednesday morning.
Next regular nights on the schedule are Oct. 13 and Oct. 27.
