There being three representatives required, members were asked to vote again on the two nominees with equal scores of 17 votes.  A second vote resulted in another equality of votes with Councillor Brough and Councillor Davidson both receiving 22 votes each.  The Chairman decided the third representative by a toss of a coin, Councillor Davidson being the successful nominee.
