Meetings, Minutes & Notices

What should be included in HOA meeting minutes?

Short answer
Decisions, votes, and action items — not a transcript of the conversation.

The full answer

Good minutes record: date, time, location, attendees, quorum confirmation, motions made (with mover and seconder), vote counts, and resolutions adopted.

Skip the editorial commentary. Minutes are a legal record, not a newsletter.

Note executive session topics in general terms ('discussed pending litigation') without revealing privileged content.
