MEETING MINUTES
How long should we wait?
Once a meeting has adjourned, how long should it be for the secretary to submit the meeting minutes?
Right now, we have to wait a month, or more, for the meeting minutes from the prior meeting to be published/distributed.
This is likely just because it has been this way for so long. I do not believe it is any individual’s fault.
I think we can do better, and believe it should be 1-5 days.
What do you think?
Most of the time I am looking up this information (especially a meeting that has just happened) it is because I wasn’t able to make it. I appreciate being able to get this information quickly. There have been times I have missed a library board meeting because I am out of town. I have appreciated the “live” meeting posts because I am able to see the meeting as soon as I am able.
After some heated discussion, I am planning on making a motion to add an amendment to the By-Laws. This would say that the meeting minutes should be published within seven days after the meeting.
Additionally, the agenda should be published at least seven days prior to the upcoming meeting.
What are your thoughts on this?
