HB 1827 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

City of Oxford; clarify earnings component definition and authorized contributions under municipal reserve and trust fund.

HB 1827 creates a dedicated "City of Oxford Municipal Reserve and Trust Fund" to manage specific funds from the sale of Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi property and lease termination proceeds. It establishes a nine-member board of trustees (including the mayor, mayor pro tem, and six financially experienced appointees) to oversee the fund's investments and distributions. The bill clarifies how "earnings" from the fund can be used, sets limits on withdrawals to ensure long-term fiscal security, and specifies that all income must support Oxford's infrastructure and services. This directly affects Oxford's budgeting for city improvements, public safety, and community welfare through its management of these designated funds.
