The Board of the organization I worked for met in Executive (Closed) Session to discuss a then-ongoing legal matter. A motion was considered and passed regarding the matter. (In short, the Board gave the Executive the authority to settle the issue up to a certain amount.)
The association's bylaw regarding minutes are below:
13.6 Minutes
i. The minutes of the meetings of the [Board] shall:
a. be the responsibility of the Recording Secretary, in their absence the [Board] may select a temporary replacement;
b. include a summary of the discussion, a record of the motions passed and a numerical record of the votes taken;
ii. Minutes of meetings in closed sessions shall include only a record of the motions passed and a record of the votes taken.
I know the motion gets recorded in the Closed Session minutes. Does it also get put into the minutes of the meeting overall? In the past we have done so, but that is normally because our closed sessions involve naming people to positions or granting money, where the result normally gets announced in open session. This situation isn't like that so I'm not as sure.
Thanks for any advice.
