*Matters Arising:*	a) Police Matters - The secretary had received apologies from Sergeant Paton as
	his officers were busy tonight. He had nothing to report to meeting.

	e mailed the developers again with no response. There has been speculation in the
	village that one of the plots have been sold.

	correspondence. No results from the complaint about smell from Dull scheme.
	e) Etape Caledonia Cycle Event - The charges against Rannoch Community Council
	chairman have been dropped. The secretary brought to the attention of the meeting
	the official tourist figures for last year, which show a large drop in tourists visiting
	Perth and Kinross.
	f) New Community School - The new school is progressing and now the facing brick
	on not quite so noticeable from Weem.

	had any response to the request for the railing to be painted.
	h) Highland Perthshire Community Safety Panel - Minutes from last meeting in the
	correspondence.

	weather conditions. Secretary will contact John McNab for an update on when it was
	likely to be done.
	j) Path Signs - Dull Wood sign still to be done by Perth and Kinross Countryside Trust.
	k) Dull Church Appeal - The reporter has granted the appeal with conditions.
	Mr Pringle has contacted Mr John Swinney MSP to express his disappointment with
	this decision and had copied the e mail to the Chairman of the Community
	Council.
	l) Adoption of Red Telephone Boxes - The secretary had e mailed Perth and Kinross
	Council with the request to retain functioning phone box in Weem and not to
	adopt it.
	m) Griffin Wind Farm Fund - Mr Kennedy had e mailed the Community Councillors
	with the proposals for the Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund. He went over this
	at the meeting. He had been asked if it was possible to organise the dates of
	the next three Community Council meeting to enable the Scottish Community
	Foundation representatives to attend a meeting. This was done. The secretary
	advised the meeting that his earlier concerns on the fund had been diluted by
	the proposals.
	n) Charitable Fund - The secretary had checked with elders at Dull and Weem Church
	to see if they knew of anyone in the area that might benefit from the fund. It would
	seem that there is nobody that has coal as their primary heating system now.
