Edgar Guest Posted January 12, 2015 at 05:38 PM Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 05:38 PM Never. Once all corrections have been made, the chair simply declares the minutes approved (not "accepted" . . . or "adopted"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted January 12, 2015 at 07:14 PM Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 07:14 PM When is a motion and second to accept appropriate following the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting. No motion is required--the question on approval is automatic, and the only way to object to approval is to offer a correction. There might be a vote on the correction if there is not unanimous agreement but no vote is needed on overall approval. Once there are no (more) corrections offered, the chair declares that the minutes are approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Michael J. Nieland Posted January 14, 2015 at 08:35 PM Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 at 08:35 PM Can a President, Secretary, or anyone else on the board (officers running the meeting) make a motion or must all motions come from the floor?

Andy Travis Posted January 15, 2015 at 01:28 AM Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 at 01:28 AM Never. Once all corrections have been made, the chair simply declares the minutes approved (not "accepted" . . . or "adopted").Does the chair just ask the rest of the board if there are any corrections to the minutes and the secretary notes those corrections. So even though there were corrections (assuming there were no objections to the corrections) does the chair after all corrections are made just simply declare the minutes approved without any motions?

Josh Martin Posted January 15, 2015 at 01:37 AM Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 at 01:37 AM So even though there were corrections (assuming there were no objections to the corrections) does the chair after all corrections are made just simply declare the minutes approved without any motions? Yes, that is correct. While there might be a motion (or even a vote) on a correction if there is disagreement, no motion is necessary to approve the minutes, and it is not appropriate to take a vote on the approval of the minutes, because the assembly must approve minutes. The only way to object to the approval of the minutes is by offering a correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
