iii) To consider adoption of Terms of Reference for the Personnel Committee: these terms were RESOLVED by council with the reference to committee members increased from 4 to 5 members. Cllr Swift was named as the fifth member.
iv) To consider funding options for a new Defibrillator: Tabled until July as Cllr White was absent.
