5. What does the KOMA say about agendas and minutes?
- Does a group subject to the KOMA have to create an agenda for its meetings?
No. If it chooses to create an agenda, it should include all matters planned for discussion but agendas can be amended. The public body may discuss matters not on an agenda that come up at the last minute.
- Does a group subject to the KOMA have to put everything that is said at the meeting into the minutes?
Not under the KOMA. The KOMA does not speak to minutes or agendas, except to require that motions to go into executive session be recorded in the minutes.
- Do all votes have to be recorded in minutes?
No, at least not under the KOMA. The KOMA only requires that motions to go into executive session be recorded. Recording anything else in minutes is a discretionary decision.
