ANNUAL PARISH MEETING: 

An Annual Parish Meeting (APM) is called by the Chairman of the Parish Council, unlike all the other meetings which are called by the Clerk.

The minutes of an APM have to be approved by the members of the public at the next APM therefore, if the Parish Council decideds to display these on their website(s) they will be unapproved minutes.

If the unapproved minutes of the last APM are not displayed before the next meeting then copies will be available to read prior to the meeting taking place.

Comment

MINUTES of meetings:

The minutes of each Parish Council meeting should, at all times, be a FACTUAL record of the events that took place at the meeting.  As they will not be a verbatim report the minutes may not make 'enjoyable' reading however, they must contain a factually accurate, brief report, of the events that took place.

(Some time ago the council received a recommendation from SALC that, as there is no 'laid down' requirement for the minutes of Parish Council meetings to be a verbatim record, the minutes should only contain a brief, but accurate, record of the events, discussions, proposals and voting that took place.)
  
The clerk, as the Responsible Officer, has the role of recording the events of a meeting however, before approving the 'draft' minutes as a true record of the events, it is the councillors responsibility to ensure that all the facts are accurately recorded.


DISPLAY of APPROVED MINUTES:  (Bentley Parish Council)

For some reason the approved minutes are not available on the Parish Council website(s) at, or close to, the same time as the paper copies are displayed on the Notice Boards.
