Guest Kim Goldsworthy Posted May 10, 2010 at 10:29 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 at 10:29 PM Marianne, The secretary is correct. The council member is wrong. Minutes are supposed to a record of business transacted inside a meeting. What happens OUTSIDE a meeting is not a concern of the minutes. -kg " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JDStackpole Posted May 10, 2010 at 10:31 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 at 10:31 PM Actually neither are correct. Minutes should not contain "discussion" at all, only the text of motions adopted, defeated, or otherwise disposed of. See p. 451 ff. Plus some more or less administrative information about the meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest H.Wm.Mountcastle Posted May 10, 2010 at 10:32 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 at 10:32 PM The minutes should record what was DONE (e.g. motions made) not what was SAID (e.g. discussion) at a meeting. They should not be used to re-write history; that is, to change what was done to what should have or could have been done." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
