During other business the board paused its agenda to honor a long-serving staff member identified as Kelly.

Several speakers offered personal remarks praising Kelly’s decades of service in juvenile programming, describing her as a leader who cares about the young people she supervised and who influenced staff across the department. Speaker 2 and Speaker 4 recounted how Kelly earned the respect and gratitude of colleagues; Speaker 4 said Kelly would be “a difficult person to replace.” An envelope was presented during the remarks; no financial details or conditions attached to the presentation were discussed on the record.

The tribute concluded with applause and expressions of appreciation; the board then closed other business and confirmed the next meeting date.
