Approval of the Minutes

It is the policy of the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners that minutes of a board meeting be on the agenda for approval during a subsequent regular board meeting.1

In addition, parliamentary procedure requires that the minutes of previous meetings be approved at the beginning of the next regular meeting. In order for that to happen, it needs to be listed on the meeting agenda.2

Example agenda item:

  1. Approval of the Minutes of Previous Meeting(s)
