What Oak Ridge City Council did March 10: audit, CIP, personnel changes, infrastructure and recreation requests
Summary
A concise roundup of key council actions March 10: FY2024 audit received (clean opinion; Kayenta findings); CIP transmittal; residency and nepotism personnel code changes; infrastructure acceptances and right‑of‑way abandonment; CDBG contracts authorized; DeRay Smith named city historian; and public calls for pickleball courts.
At a glance: council received the FY2024 audit (clean opinion with internal‑control findings tied to the Kayenta conversion), accepted the Planning Commission's transmittal of the FY2026–2031 CIP, adopted personnel ordinance amendments including a position‑specific residency requirement and a nepotism change that prohibits direct line supervision of family, accepted small infrastructure in the Preserve at Clinch River, abandoned a short portion of Renovar Boulevard at the IDB's request, authorized CDBG contracts for Scarborough HVAC and Woodland sidewalks contingent on HUD approvals, designated DeRay Smith as city historian, and heard extensive public comment urging dedicated pickleball courts and consideration of a tennis bubble at Jackson Square.
Votes and outcomes: most items on the consent, ordinance and resolution calendar passed by unanimous voice votes; the audit and transmittal items were received for the record; staff and council repeatedly noted pending steps — HUD approvals for some contracts and forthcoming corrective‑action work tied to the Kayenta audit findings. The city manager said the recreation master plan RFQ is active and staff will include pickleball demand in that process.
