No minutes taken

At a recent meeting an agenda item was voted upon and not minutes were taken. That vote is now being contested. Is it valid or must it be revoted upon?

The lack of minutes has no bearing on the validity of the business conducted. But you'll still need to draft and approve the minutes of the meeting.

Thank you....No one tooks notes for me to 'draft'. Two members say it was a yes vote and one member says it was tabled. What do we do? this is causing quite a rift as it is a VERY important issue.

Apparently not important enough. You should be aware that the minimum number of officers for any meeting are two: A presiding officer, and a recording officer. You should never conduct business unless those two critical functions are staffed and ready.

Now you're stuck piecing together minutes from memory, and of course there will be disagreements that could have been avoided with contemporaneous notes. Do your best to put together the minutes so as to accurately reflect what truly happened.

If there is not unanimity of agreement, then majority rules. It looks like you have two (a majority of those you mentioned) who say it passed.

Are there really only three members, or are these the only three with an opinion?
