Guest Scott Wolf Posted May 19, 2014 at 03:36 AM Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 at 03:36 AM Hello,just a couple of quick questions on procedure.If the minutes of a meeting has an error in attendance (Some one was recorded being in attendance but actually wasn't) Votes were held under this error and were recorded as being unanimously passed. Are the votes official and legal?Do these votes need to be revisited and re voted with the correct members recorded as voting? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ed Posted May 19, 2014 at 03:46 AM Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 at 03:46 AM As the motion was passed unanimously then the error does not matter. If the Minutes have not been formally approved, then when they come up, a member could correct the Minutes by offering a correction: namely to remove the absent member's name from the Minutes. If the Minutes have been approved then a motion to "Amend Something Previously Adopted" could be made to strike out the member's name. Regardless the motion was still unanimously passed as long as no one voted no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted May 19, 2014 at 04:02 AM Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 at 04:02 AM Ed is quite correct; I'd only add that there was almost certainly no reason to record the unanimity (or lack thereof) of this or any vote in the minutes in the first place.
