How to handle, in the meeting minutes, motions made and seconded, but not voted upon?

Help! I have an incident at a past meeting that I need assistance with. A motion was made, with a second, but the President did not call for a vote. The meeting went on with the assumption that the Approval of the Agenda and Minutes were passed. But without the Board's vote. How should this be handled? Can this even bee "assumed" as the motion passing? And how to cover in the Minutes? 

Thank you in advance!

Your job is easy. Put in the minutes exactly what occurred.

In the case of Approval of Minutes, taking a vote on approval is improper (but used when there are disputed corrections).  Minutes are simply declared approved when there are no (further) corrections.
