Issue - meetings

Audrey Martin reported on the success of the meeting held for all local Trustees.  The meeting had proved extremely useful and helpful whereby common issues and problems had been addressed.

Charles Reppke advised the group of the forthcoming Community Council elections and reported that he would be facilitating the initial introductory meeting for new Community Councillors. 

Stuart Irvine enquired on the feasibility of Windfarm Trusts obtaining charity status to avoid paying tax on their funds which were currently held on deposit.  Charles Reppke advised that changing the present Trust model to charity status would mean adherence to the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) regulations.  He continued that this could perhaps impinge on the current administrative duties undertaken by Trustees.

The Chair thanked Trustees and officers for their input and attendance at the meeting.  

There was no other business.
