Recording Board Votes - Is It Required?

Owners often want to know how board members vote on business matters. One way to find out is to go to the board meetings. Another may be to review minutes. Here is a question related to this subject:

"When votes are recorded in regular board meeting minutes, should those votes show each director's vote (yea, nea, or abstain)?"

My answer: Some associations do record this, some don't. I do not know what Roberts Rules say. There is nothing in the Davis Stirling Act or Corporations Code that I know of requiring anything other than whether the measure proposed passed or failed. Look for the answer about Roberts Rules on www.parli.com. You can ask questions there too.
