Is that one line item (Superintendent George reported on five-year capital plan for 2007-2011. No action was taken) the $700,000 money shot? Shouldn't the minutes reflect what was discussed and acurrately report out so that anyone reading the minutes would be clear on what took place?
ReplyDeleteI know that our non-profit auditors get cranky when minutes are obtuse.
I asked about the kinds of minutes required of committees when I became acting Chair of Economic Development. I was told no detail was required, and I could use any format I chose. I also believe I remember from when I researched publishing rules, that minutes are not required to be published either, only notices.
