You can follow the recommendations in the link, below, as a format for your board meeting minutes.
What's key with association minutes is to document the business and its operations. Some prospective purchasers have the right to read past minutes -- up to three years' worth -- as a way to more fully understand the community and its business.
One way to maintain clarity of intent in minutes is to document the motivation for any board vote, and then quote the resolution/ motion in full and verbatim. The vote follows, with ayes and nays, with the final note that the motion passed or failed. Name the person who proposes the motion, and name the person who seconds it.
Maintaining a predictable structure for minutes is key, so that the treasurer's report, for example, can be found in about the same place in the minutes for every board meeting.
It is not necessary to document descriptions of discussions, but it is helpful to summarize any discussion that precedes a board vote, since this puts the motion into an appropriate context.
Once drafted, the minutes are circulated among board members for edits -- who can not add or remove information that can misrepresent the meeting -- and then the draft minutes are approved at the next meeting. Once approved, minutes are permanent records and become history.
Savvy boards publish draft minutes soon after a board meeting, so that all members are advised as to the status of the community's business affairs.

Read your governing documents, or refer to the state law under which your association is incorporated to determine your legal requirements. Meeting minutes are best approved at the next board meeting. Best practices dictate that transparency and frequent communication are both key elements to successful communities. The board can decide when to ratify or approve minutes, and decide when to publish them to owners. In the reviewing process, once all board members have reviewed the draft minutes and the minutes are eligible for approval at the next board meeting, the board can circulate 'draft' board minutes, so long as they are clearly labeled as unapproved. As well, several states are working on legislation to enable boards to approve annual meeting minutes at the next board meeting, and not wait until the next annual meeting to approve them.

Committee meetings are working meetings where there is no vote, only a discussion of options, presentation of research results. Usually one board member leads a committee and the remaining participants can be owners/ non-board members. Committees present their conclusions and recommendations to the board at board meetings. No minutes are required. Board meetings, unless they are executive or confidential meetings, are generally open for attendance by all members. Your governing documents specify the attendance, notification, agenda and minutes process for open board meetings.

How should a letter be written to board members who were absent from a meeting?
Whenever you write a letter to a member of a board of directors, you address the letter to the person at their last known address. If your board receives its mail through an association management firm, then that's the address you use. In your letter, state the purpose of the letter and ask for any action you're requesting. For example, if yours is an issue that you want the board to discuss in an open meeting, ask that the issue -- use a complete sentence -- be added to the agenda, and request that you be given time on the agenda to present your position. Finally, if you want the board to vote on the issue, you can request a board vote at the open meeting. Then, the issue, its discussion and the board vote will be included in the meeting minutes.
