jstackpo Posted July 21, 2012 at 02:58 PM Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 at 02:58 PM Except for brief oral reports, p. 511, committee reports don't go in minutes. Of course, a motion arising out of a report does go in minutes along with how it was disposed of.You can file written reports along with the minutes, but the reports themselves are not "adopted" or "approved" the way minutes are.What do you mean by "dispute the contents"? Do you think the committee reporter is lying or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted July 21, 2012 at 03:00 PM Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 at 03:00 PM Does minutes include reports of various committees?The minutes would record the fact that a report was given but the entire written report would not be included unless the assembly ordered it or a motion was made to adopt the report (which is not recommended unless the intent is for the assembly to adopt it word-for-word including any rationales given). See RONR p. 471. if not how do we record reports? The Secretary should retain reports (separate from the minutes unless the assembly ordered it or a motion was made to adopt the report.How do we dispute the contents of reports?. That depends. Can you clarify what you would be disputing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of the board memebers disputes the contents of the report how does he address it in the assmbly ? Do we need to record member's objection in the minutes?ThanksJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted July 21, 2012 at 03:58 PM Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 at 03:58 PM What exactly is he disputing? Is he claiming that the information is a lie? A misrepresentation of the facts? Are there some inaccuracies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted July 21, 2012 at 04:10 PM Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 at 04:10 PM Jay:Maybe he just doesn't like the conclusions or opinions therein?So what? It is only the committee's opinion, not that of the association. (Unless the report is "adopted", which shouldn't happen.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
