Thank you. That was what I thought, and of course I should always remember the rule of "what was DONE not SAID." It was a somewhat heated confrontation by the "public," so I wanted to make sure I wasn't leaving something out that I shouldn't. What you said makes sense. One other (related) question: The six people who made the public comments normally attend our meetings, and one of them is a voting member. I found it odd that a voting member signed up for public comment. What is your view on a voting member signing up for public comment?

We recently started allowing public comments at the beginning of our meetings. As the secretary, I'm wondering how, or if, I'm supposed to record the comments in the minutes. Or do I just write "Public Comment Period" with no details? I couldn't find a reference to this in Robert's Rules, and our Bylaws don't state anything. How do you think I should approach this?
