Can the minutes still reflect unanimous approval? No. The minutes should simply state that the motion was adopted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted June 23, 2014 at 06:15 PM Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 at 06:15 PM Although such a vote would technically be unanimous, there is no reason why the minutes should make reference to that fact, as it gives the (false) impression that a motion adopted unanimously is somehow different from one adopted by a single vote margin. In the case of a counted vote, the minutes would contain the vote counts for and against, but for a voice vote, rising vote or (uncounted) show of hands, just noting whether it was adopted or rejected is all that the minutes should record.
