At a special Saturday meeting, the Knoxville City Council elected Lynn Fugate as vice mayor and confirmed Councilwoman Helsley as beer board chair; the council also approved a representative to the Knoxville Transportation Authority, though the transcript does not include that designee's name.

The council opened with an invocation led by Councilmember Parker and the pledge of allegiance led by Councilmember Lloyd before conducting roll call. The mayor said the sole agenda item was "election and confirmations" and asked Mr. Frost to explain the process. Mr. Frost told the public and council members that "you do not have to have someone else place your name into nomination" and that the assistant recorder would call names for nominations.

Council member Thomas nominated Lynn Fugate for vice mayor; the mayor read a December 12 letter from Fugate stating she would be absent from the special meeting but expressing her "willingness to serve as vice mayor" if elected. After a voice vote, the mayor announced, "Motion carries 7 0 1," and said "Lynn Fugate will be the next vice mayor."

The council then moved to the beer board chair; Councilwoman Helsley indicated she was willing to serve, the nomination was seconded and the council approved the nomination by voice vote. The mayor announced, "Motion carries."

Finally, the council elected its representative to the Knoxville Transportation Authority. The motion was made and seconded, and the mayor announced the motion carried. The transcript as provided does not name the person confirmed as the council's KTA representative; that detail is recorded as not specified in the meeting transcript.

The mayor congratulated new and returning council members, adjourned the meeting "without objection" and invited attendees to a reception outside. No further debate, amendments or additional formal motions were recorded in the provided transcript.

The meeting record includes vote detail for the vice mayor election (7–0–1); vote tallies for the beer board chair and the KTA representative were not specified in the transcript.
