High School Courts Light Up Tonight for County Volleyball Tri-Matches
De Armanville, AL · September 21, 2026
Volleyball whistles and sneakers start squeaking across county gym floors this afternoon as area athletic schedules ramp up for the week. There is plenty of ground to cover before tomorrow's municipal meetings get rolling.
The Lead
Oxford City Council meets Tuesday evening for its final regular session of the 2026 fiscal year, setting the stage for municipal operations ahead of the October 1 budget transition. Following work sessions earlier this month that approved preliminary equipment bids and authorized grant pursuits for Choccolocco Park and Oxford Lake playground upgrades, council members will gather at City Hall for a 6:00 PM work session followed by the 6:30 PM public meeting.
On the docket are scheduled zoning reviews, property declarations, and final departmental authorizations needed to close the books on fiscal 2026. For residents across the eastern valley, these end-of-year administrative moves directly shape paving contracts, public safety equipment purchases, and community recreation funding for the months ahead. The council will hear public comments before taking formal action on tomorrow night's resolutions.
