Guest charles knappA Posted March 17, 2015 at 03:19 PM Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 at 03:19 PM There is some who feel motions that are passed with no effected date do not take effect until the minutes of the meeting are accepted where the motion passed. Any thoughts??/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts??/ A motion takes effect immediately upon its adoption, unless it contains a proviso delaying its effect. The minutes are record of what happened, not an authorization for something to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts??/I agree completely with George Mervosh's answer in post # 2 about the minutes being only a record of what happened, but want to add that per RONR, the minutes should be "APPROVED", not "accepted". See pages 354-355. " RONR refers repeatedly to "approving" the minutes, but not once to "accepting" the minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest charles knappA Posted March 17, 2015 at 08:36 PM Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 at 08:36 PM Thanks so much. This was my arguement too. Minutes are only records! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
