Rob Elsman Posted January 25, 2024 at 02:25 AM Report Share Posted January 25, 2024 at 02:25 AM A motion to approve the minutes is never necessary and is ignored if it is made. The chair announces that the minutes are approved, or approved as corrected, after the minutes have been read and any proposed corrections have been handled. Thus, there is no way for the approval of the minutes to be rejected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can a board member who was absent from the previous meeting second a motion to approve the minutes? The answer to both of these questions is yes, but as Mr. Elsman has noted, making and seconding such a motion is not necessary and rather meaningless.
