Taking accurate minutes is a very important part of the Associations business. Additionally, once approved, Meeting Minutes become part of the permanent records of the Association. They must be made available to anyone to view upon request and are also often posted on the Association’s website.  \nWhat are Meeting Minutes?  \nMeeting Minutes are an official record of the actions taken by HOA Board members or homeowners at a meeting where a quorum is established. Meeting Minutes should be brief, objective and reflect the actions taken at a meeting, not a complete transcript of what was said and opinions expressed. Remember, these are Meeting Minutes and not meeting hours! In this instance, less is more.  \nWho takes the Meeting Minutes?  \nTypically, Meeting Minutes are recorded by the Board Secretary, but any appointed and trained individual can take them as an acting recording secretary for the Board. The HOA management company often offers minute takers should the Board choose to delegate this responsibility outside of the Board. AAM can provide minute takers with the training, skills, and knowledge needed to provide thorough minutes for any board meeting, virtual or in person.  \n[AssociatedAsset.com](AssociatedAsset.com) The Importance of HOA Meeting Minutes  \nMeeting Minutes Should Include:  \n• The type of meeting (monthly meeting of the Board, annual meeting of the members, special meeting of the members, executive session of the Board)  \n• Name of corporation  \n• Date, time, and place of meeting  \n• Time the meeting commenced and adjourned  \n• Directors present and not present, and their positions  \n• Management company representatives in attendance  \n• Any special guests  \n• Approval of the previous minutes  \n• Main motions, names of members introducing the motion, the member seconding the motion, and the vote count including names of those in favor, opposed, or abstaining. The minutes would also record any motions that are withdrawn or amended.  \nThey Should NOT Include:  \n• Proceedings of a committee  \n• Summary of guest comments  \n• Secretary’s opinion  \n• Debate relative to a motion  \n• Sensitive or potentially controversial information  \nAAM HOT TIP  \nIf you need clarification about a discussion or motion, do not be afraid to interrupt and ask for an explanation. However, when you cannot interrupt the meeting, make a note to yourself at that spot on your page reminding you to ask about the matter after the discussion.  \nTo ensure Meeting Minutes are accurate, stay on track, and only record the information outlined above, utilizing a standard template can help. The goal is to keep the minutes to two pages or less while capturing the Board or the membership actions.  \nUsing a standard template for Meeting Minutes also helps establish consistency and an excellent tool for anyone recording the Association’s minutes.  \n[AssociatedAsset.com](AssociatedAsset.com) The Importance of HOA Meeting Minutes  \nASSOCIATION LEGAL NAME  \nBoard of Directors Meeting  \nOpen Session Minutes  \nMeeting Location Physical Address  \nDate and Time of Meeting  \n***The below items should follow the agenda***  \nBelow is an example, your topics or agenda may appear in a different order or may have additional items.  \nCall to Order/Verification of Quorum  \n(Full name of the person who called the meeting to order) called the meeting to order @ (time) .  \n• Board Members in Attendance: (List the Board members and their Officer position)  \n• Management Present: (List those present from AAM and their Titles)  \n• Board Members Absent: (List any Board members that were absent and their Officer position)  \nApproval of Minutes –(Date of draft meeting minutes being ","cbCainkvINcZsIb6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainkvINcZsIb6","pdf",1254650,"English","# The Importance of HOA Meeting Minutes\n## What are Meeting Minutes?\n## Who takes the Meeting Minutes?\n## Meeting Minutes Should Include\n## They Should NOT Include\n## Standard Template Guidance\n# Sample Minutes Format\n## Board of Directors Meeting - Open Session Minutes\n## Board of Directors Meeting - Executive Session Minutes","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of HOA meeting minutes?\",\"answer\":\"They provide a formal, permanent record of actions taken at an HOA meeting once a quorum is established, and they are made available for review by others upon request.\"},{\"question\":\"What should meeting minutes include?\",\"answer\":\"They should cover meeting type and legal name, date/time/location, attendance and positions, management representatives, special guests, approval of prior minutes, and motions with who introduced/seconded and the vote counts including names.\"},{\"question\":\"What information should meeting minutes not include?\",\"answer\":\"They should not include committee proceedings, summaries of guest comments, the secretary’s opinion, debate details related to a motion, or sensitive/controversial information.\"}]","HOA Meeting Minute Templates - Meeting Minutes Checklist | PDF"]
