jager12 Posted August 23, 2014 at 07:08 PM Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 at 07:08 PM currently we have one board member that insists that the minutes reflects their thoughts on different issues. Should this be permitted? If not, how can it be stopped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted August 23, 2014 at 08:18 PM Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 at 08:18 PM The minutes are the official record of what was done (e.g. motions) not what was said (e.g. discussion) at a meeting. They certainly shouldn't include a member's thoughts. The secretary should prepare the minutes accordingly and, when they're presented for approval, any motion to include "thoughts" should be defeated. There are sample minutes in RONR which may be helpful. I think it's safe to say that most minutes contain more than they should (though, of course, it's ultimately up to each organization (or sometimes a superior law) what to include).
