Improperly Amending the Minutes

[Guest Rod Saponaro]

Our Board improperly amended our minutes by changing or adding new items that were never stated.
I pointed out that they couldn't add new items to the previous month's minutes, that corrections to the minutes should only be for items that were discussed but left off the minutes. Please advise if I'm correct how how it should be fixed at the next meeting.
Thank you

The minutes are the official record of what was done at a meeting (not what was said). They should not include "discussion". If they're inaccurate they should either be "corrected" (prior to their approval) or "amended" (at any time after they've been approved).

[Guest Rod Saponaro]

Thank you Edgar for your reply. I understand about the "done" vs "discussion" and sorry I was not more clear in my question.

They added an item to be "done" that was not done at the previous meeting.

 

Thank you inadvance for another reply.

They added an item to be "done" that was not done at the previous meeting.

 

The minutes record what was actually done. Not what should have been done or what someone wished had been done.

If the fictional element(s) show up in the minutes for approval next meeting, move (presuming you are a board member, if not, find a friend who is) that those sentences be struck out.

 

You can point out that, if the board wants to really do those things, any board member is free to make the appropriate motions at the current meeting.
