Kuester Management Group Outlines Key Considerations When Taking HOA Meeting Minutes

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Rezul -- Meetings are a regular part of HOA life. It is these gatherings of board members and homeowners that help guide the direction and decisions for the community. Keeping accurate records is essential, as minutes are a legal binding document. Kuester Management Group has released a statement to the press regarding steps associations can take to improve their meeting minutes.

"Don't make recording minutes more complex or difficult than it needs to be," says Bryan Kuester, President of Kuester Management Group. "Having a standard template in place can be beneficial and keep things consistent. Also, remember that minutes should not be a word-for-word transcript of the entire meeting. They should focus on what items were discussed and what actions were taken."

It is also important to note that meeting minutes should remain unbiased, says Kuester. Keep notes professional and state what occurred without personal opinion interjected. Regardless of whether the secretary agrees with what was said or the decisions made, they are simply recording the events of the meeting.

Start by documenting the details of the meeting, including where and when it was held, the type of meeting, and which board members were in attendance. Once the meeting is called to order, the minutes should reflect a summary of any reports and a review of the current finances. Again, stick to the facts and figures.

"It is also essential that the minutes contain a record of any motions, votes, and discussions, as well as any decisions that were made," says Kuester. "Whether a motion was approved or denied, it should be noted, along with how each board member voted."
