Best Answer

As the board secretary, you have responsibility for keeping the minutes of board meetings, because these minutes are part of the permanent history of the association.

Board meeting minutes usually contain resolutions for motions, seconds and board vote counts. Often resolutions become an extension of the governing documents.

For example, if the board entertains a resolution regarding limiting Dog Breeds in the complex, and the resolution is passed, this action effectively alters the governing documents' position on dog breeds allowed.

A community newsletter is generally considered a less formal communication vehicle, and may or may not be a permanent part of the associations business records.

You can condense the resolution about limiting dog breeds into a few sentences, and reference the complete resolution and its implementation by the board in the official minutes, so that an owner can read about the issue in complete detail.

Because you want all owners to remain up-to-date about 'what's happening' in the complex, you can distribute a mix of board meeting minutes and newsletters to on-site owner/ residents, tenants and off-site owners, depending on the contents of the communication.

The only tip is to be consistent with the level of detail you cover in each and in your distribution scheme. Also be wary of publishing so much information about board meeting business that you eliminate the motivation to attend board meetings in person.
