An announcement on the hiring of a new chief administrative officer is imminent.

If the pattern established twice in the recent past is any guide, the recruiting consultant will offer the job to someone this week.

Town councillors met behind closed doors Friday at an undisclosed location [the last time was at White Oaks] to interview candidate[s] for the job.

Monday night, Council decided on some undisclosed course of action involving the recruiter.

Twice in the past these series of events resulted in a job offer. And twice in the past, the successful candidate declined.

The vote was unanimous. The previous two times, it was 4-3.
