The city clerk shall promptly record the minutes for each council meeting. The minutes
serve as the official written record of the council meeting and shall be open for
public inspection once approved as official by the council but in no case later than
immediately following the next regular meeting of the council. The minutes shall specify
the names of councilmembers present at the meeting, a description of each motion or
other proposal made at the meeting, the councilmember who proposed each motion, the
councilmember who seconded each motion, and a record of all votes. In the case of
a roll-call vote, the name of each councilmember voting for or against a proposal
shall be recorded. It shall be presumed that a councilmember has voted in the affirmative
unless the minutes show otherwise. More detailed information may be included in the
minutes at the request of the council.
(b)
The council must approve the minutes before they can be considered as an official
record of the council. A copy of the minutes from the previous meeting shall be distributed
to the councilmembers at least one business day before the following meeting. The
minutes of the previous meeting shall be corrected and approved by the council at
the beginning of each meeting. A majority vote is required for approval. Conflicts
about the content of the minutes shall be decided by majority vote. Upon being approved,
the minutes shall be signed by the chairman and attested to by the city clerk.
