B 1. Organisation

SH confirmed the SC amendment to the Scheme of Establishment following their

07.10.21 Council meeting, stating that CC meetings could now be held live, online or
as hybrid events, and that the appropriate decision was left to each CC to make.

B 2. Outstanding Matters

Meetings can now be held face-to-face (F2F). There was online discussion of this by
the CC and it was felt that due to rising cases of COVID-19 and individual
circumstances, the next meeting in November should be held online. The situation
could be monitored and reviewed following the next meeting. This was proposed by
BF and seconded by OW.

B 3. Minutes of Previous Meetings

Item

Action

The minutes of the September meeting were proposed by DM, seconded by BF

B 4. Matters Arising

The minute taker position has now been advertised twice, with a closing date, but so
far there have been no applicants. Several suggestions were discussed. MF suggested
that she could advertise this internally. The position can also be given to someone out
with the local area.

The “Happy to chat” bench: DK had contacted SC and was advised that for this to go
ahead, planning permission would need to be sought and the bench funded by CCC.
We could not use an existing bench. ME suggested that we contact SC for a map of
what benches SC owns in Callander, so that one of them could be used.

Other matters arising from the minutes were discussed using the action point grid and
will be itemised in the minutes within the relevant headings.
