The Oak Ridge City Council approved a package of routine and policy items in a single session, including confirmations and ordinance changes. Highlights below list each approved action recorded in the meeting minutes.

Appointments and confirmations
- Confirmed appointments to the Arts, Culture and History Alliance Advisory Board: Greta Owenby (Planning Commission), Larry Vance (Explore Oak Ridge) and Isabella Lou (Youth Advisory Board). (Motion moved/seconded; approved 7–0.)
- Confirmed Greta Owenby as the Planning Commission representative to the Traffic Safety Advisory Board. (Motion moved/seconded; approved 7–0.)
- Confirmed appointment of Roger Flynn (interim public works director) to the Anderson County Regional Solid Waste Planning Board. (Motion moved/seconded; approved 7–0.)

Ordinances and personnel items
- First reading passed for an ordinance to amend the city zoning map by removing a PUD overlay for Parcel 039 (Anderson County tax map 100 A Group C, ~3.6 acres) at 113 Lafayette Drive, changing from R3 PUD to R3 medium-density residential. Planning staff summarized the site history (PUD adopted in 2004 authorized up to eight office buildings; only one built) and said the Planning Commission recommended approval subject to traffic-impact-study thresholds; city engineering staff said a traffic-impact study was not required at this time. (First reading approved 7–0.)
- Approved an ordinance amending the personnel plan (nepotism policy) to prohibit direct line supervision of family members rather than prohibiting family members from working in the same department. Staff explained this aligns with modern HR practices and neighboring jurisdictions. (Approved 7–0.)
- Approved an ordinance deleting obsolete language about a prior probationary period and optional retirement participation for employees appointed before 1962 from the retirement benefits section of the personnel plan. Staff said the wording was superfluous and outdated. (Approved 7–0.)
- Approved an ordinance amending the code of ordinances (Title 5, Chapter 5) to add the Oak Ridge Corridor Development Corporation to the list of entities that may receive city property by transfer, alongside the Industrial Development Board and the Oak Ridge Land Bank Corporation. (Approved 7–0.)

Other
- The council approved the consent agenda as presented. (Approved 7–0.)

Each action above was approved as recorded in the meeting with a seven‑to‑zero tally unless otherwise noted. Items with additional policy or implementation implications (for example, the Lafayette Drive rezoning and personnel policy changes) were discussed during the meeting and staff will follow up as required by ordinance or administrative process.
