The City of Oak Ridge has extended its application deadline for vacancies on various city boards and commissions, now giving you until June 30, 2025, at exactly 5:00 p.m. to throw your hat into the ring.

Among the open slots detailed in the official announcement, there is one position on the Beer Permit Board, where, if you've lived in Oak Ridge for over two years and are 22 or older, you could find a seat. The Disability Advisory Board also beckons, prioritizing those with a touch of expertise or experience in disability matters. And let's not skirt around the two vacancies on the Environmental Quality Advisory Board and one on the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board, all of which require Oak Ridge residency.

Should you feel the call to civic service, the application process has been streamlined for your convenience. As noted on the city's website, applications are accessible online, or, for those who prefer the weight of paper in hand, they can be dispatched via post upon request. Additionally, the City Clerk’s Office, reachable at (865) 425-3411.

The Oak Ridge City Council will make its selections known during the regular meeting come July 14, 2025.
