Adopted minutes are legal documents, hence the angst. The corrupt majority may well adopt minutes that are heavily edited, so others on the board need to make sure they clearly note the various issues on the record during these upcoming meetings. Minutes, however, are not a transcript. They are a record of decisions with amplifying details as needed. A FOIA request for the tapes of those old meetings might be in order, but hurry. Once the meeting minutes are formally adopted, the tapes can be discarded. If the tapes have already been discarded, though, that is yet another violation of FOIA.
