[7:30] Our the football team, their home opener, is today at 530 kickoff. My son is playing his, well, dressing for his first

[7:55] So in our agenda confirmation of agenda, can I have a member of the Committee Subcommittee moved all in favor, any opposed?
[8:08] That is carried confirmation of minutes, can I get a mover?
[8:14] Councillor Shibou, all in favor, any opposed?
[8:20] That is carried.
[8:26] We move on to item 7.2.
[8:34] And before we start, I've asked Boiden to give just with recent events just a quick synopsis
[8:45] of the importance of confidentiality in this process that we are about to undertake.
[8:53] And so I just opened the floor for Boyd and to just give a quick synopsis of why it's
[8:59] so important for the confidentiality of this process to be in place.
[9:06] Thank you.
[9:07] We're glad to be here and we will open with the importance of confidentiality.
[9:14] We're dealing with human beings who have jobs and those individuals and trust us are firm that's been in business for 55 years to be strictly confidential with the material and we in turn give it to our clients ask and ask you to be strictly confidential with that information
[9:38] And that doesn't mean just right now, it means forever and ever, until the end of time.
[9:45] So not when the search is over and you say, oh, these were the candidates in the search.
[9:49] It means forever, whoever you pick as you're selected candidate.
[9:52] You don't reveal who the other candidates were, many, many reasons for this.
[9:57] A big one is litigation.
[9:59] If you divulge names of candidates, they've been sued, they sue you, they've tried to sue us.
[10:06] They get fired, lots of litigation has happened in the past.
[10:10] It's absolutely imperative that you do not reveal any names ever during the course of the search.
[10:18] Second, and honestly, importantly, is the fact that if your known as a leaky ship, you're not going to get candidates.
[10:26] Candidates will withdraw, not apply, change their mind.
[10:31] It's happened in the past.
[10:33] We were dealing with a council within the last year.
[10:38] Somebody was just going to make one call.
[10:40] They knew somebody where the preferred final candidate who had made the offer to work.
[10:45] Just going to make a call themselves, check it out.
[10:48] Well, you know what happened.
[10:49] The candidate withdrew.
[10:51] We had to restart the search.
[10:53] And that person almost got fired when they found
[10:55] when they're of personality in the local government took it the wrong way and so we are
[11:03] reminding everybody that sees any of these names that it's a I say lifetime obligation
[11:09] that we all hold these names in strict confidentiality so thank you everybody for your
[11:15] devotion to this quest. And I'll just reiterate we've had this confidential package since
[11:25] Tuesday and the recommendation that this item be heard in close session reflects the importance
[11:33] of maintaining strict confidentiality. As a key success factor in this recruitment is in the
[11:39] session, it is essential that members of council understand and uphold this expectation
[11:44] to protect the integrity and credibility of the process and to mitigate the risk of losing
[11:50] viable candidates due to the breach of confidentiality.
[11:55] And so today we will be going in camera, we have a motion ready for that.
[12:03] And we will be selecting candidates to move on in this process in camera.
[12:11] And so that is, we've heard all the reasons of why this needs to be in camera.
[12:15] We heard all the reasons why this needs to be confidential, and we will now have the vote to go in camera.
[12:29] Oh, I guess I need a mover.
[12:31] Ship counselors to vote.
[12:43] E-scribe to vote.
[12:52] Mayor Farkus your vote, please.
[12:55] Thank you.
[12:58] Councillor Tyres is absent.
[13:01] Would that chair you all, all the votes are in?
[13:03] Please display the results.
[13:06] And that is carried forward to zero, we will go into camera.
