Oakwood is poised to approve its 2017 budget next month, following a public hearing Monday night that drew no residents. The city is proposing an overall $5.3 million spending plan to take effect Jan. 1: a nearly $4 million general fund largely supported by property taxes and fees; a $600,000 special purpose local option sales tax fund; and a $700,000 sewer fund shored up by fees and other income sources. The budget contains nothing out of the ordinary — it mainly keeps operations flowing and debts paid.
