Strataguru

    The Secretary prepares the minutes (whether that is the Committee member in that position or the strata manager), then they should be circulated to all those who attended the meeting for comment. The Secretary or Strata Manager may draft them, but they are not the arbiter of whether they are correct, nor is the Chairman.

    The purpose of the motion at the next meeting is to confirm the minutes, and in some cases those who were at the meeting might raise objections to what is in them, and propose a resolution to amend them. The problem in the case of the AGM is that a lot of time has passed, and often no-one cares. The time to get the minutes right is directly after the meeting.

    That is standard practice for minutes, although in strata world in most cases this probably doesn’t happen. More generally, the minutes are often “settled” by the Strata Manager, Secretary and Chair and then circulated. 

    Gwyn – I understand your concern but you seem to be mixing two things – you refer to the Strata Committee members but the minutes of the AGM. The attendees at the AGM are attending in their capacity as owners, not as Strata Committee members. You could propose a motion at your next annual general meeting that all owners be given the opportunity to comment on draft minutes.
