And just to remind Councillors and any of those people listening in the audience or online, we won't. Be announcing the name of the preferred candidate at this meeting. There is still one more step to go before that becomes public information. So it cancels. So Councillors, we have in front of us a recommendation and it is one of the more serious decisions we will make in this term and it's probably important just to reflect on the purpose of the Chief Executive Officer and that is to provide strategic leadership to Council's organisation and it really is, while we may be responsible for making decisions about setting policies, the CEO is the one responsible for implementing them and the decisions are about Council and overall management of the organisation. So, in the process that you've all been involved with, I think we've been very clear in terms of the sort of candidate that we're looking for and I think today we have the administrative process of. Making formal decision based on what we. An agreement we came up to with the second selection panel that we all sat on. Would someone like to move the recommendation?
