Renegade1313 Posted April 14, 2014 at 10:22 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 at 10:22 PM If meeting minutes don't need to be pasted by motion and only asked if there are any corrections, when challenged on this where can I find this in writing? This is always an absolute that they don't need approval correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Hunt Posted April 14, 2014 at 10:35 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 at 10:35 PM I don't have a copy of the Book handy to give you an exact reference, but it's not true that they don't need approval. The approval is given automatically once no one has any more corrections to offer; there is no vote taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstackpo Posted April 14, 2014 at 10:40 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 at 10:40 PM P. 468ff & 354ff. But the minutes DO need "approval" - it is just that the method of approval differs from approving (voting for) a motion. The association approves minutes by incorporating any appropriate or necessary corrections -- when there are no corrections (i.e., the secretary got the minutes right) (or no more corrections) the chair just declares them approved.

Guest Edgar Posted April 14, 2014 at 11:28 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 at 11:28 PM . . . it is just that the method of approval differs from approving (voting for) a motion. It's not just the method, it's the nomenclature. Minutes are approved. Motions are adopted (or lost). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Martin Posted April 15, 2014 at 12:11 AM Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 at 12:11 AM This is always an absolute that they don't need approval correct. It's absolute that a final vote is never taken on approving the minutes, if that's what you mean. Essentially, the assembly can't simply decide not to have minutes of a meeting. It can (and should) correct the minutes if it needs to, but it eventually needs to approve them. So it's not appropriate to take a vote on that, since it would be problematic if the assembly voted "no." A motion to approve the minutes is not necessary but would not be out of order if made (RONR p. 354 ll. 23-28. ...although the procedure for approving the minutes is the same regardless of whether a motion to approve them is made.
