Guest Rowe Posted January 25, 2024 at 01:27 AM Report Posted January 25, 2024 at 01:27 AM Can a board member who was absent from the previous meeting make a motion to approve the minutes? Can a board member who was absent from the previous meeting second a motion to approve the minutes? Quote
Rob Elsman Posted January 25, 2024 at 02:25 AM Report 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

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. Quote
