Given Ms. Gillett's breadth of experience at the county level, Chair Litten asked how she sees her path applying to being on City Council, and whether there was anything she would've changed or done differently at the county. Ms. Gillett described her service as one that strived to be based on the servant leader model. She quipped about her time at the county and added how retirement has provided her time to look back at plenty of decisions. Ms. Gillett asked what characteristics Council is looking for in a colleague. Chair Litten stated the body is looking for someone who is a good fit for Ward 4, represents unique aspects of Ward 4, is communicative, a team player, has her/his own opinions. He added that he tries to stay true to the process and makes a point to not a have front runner coming into it. He noted that he barely knew Councilmember Kepple going into a previous appointment process and spoke highly of her service. He concluded by stating Council is looking to stay true to the process and find the best person, with as many of those ingredients as possible. Chair Litten noted that Bill Denihan, who led the ADAMHS Board for many years and was an incredible public servant, had passed away that day. He asked that Mr. Denihan be recognized for his service that evening. Chair Litten adjourned the meeting without objection at 8:06 p.m.
