Keeping Minutes

You may now go to UCO and request copies of any of their minutes (new openness) give them plenty time for write up.

From FL Ombudsman Raphan FAQs: "Q. How much detail is required when writing the minutes of association meetings? Should the minutes be verbatim or a summary of each statement? A. Robert's Rules of Order states the minutes should record what was "done" at the meeting, not what was "said" by the members. In other words, the minutes should not be a narrative, but they should reflect the business that was conducted. People do not understand what minutes mean. People will stand up at a meeting and say, "I think the [board] **** is an idiot." That doesn't belong in the minutes.”

COMMITTEE: A body that keeps minutes and wastes hours.
