I've checked DavisStirling.com and they say the following:

"Recording Motions in Minutes

There is no requirement the name of the person making the motion and the one seconding the motion be recorded in the minutes. While some associations do, many associations simply state that a motion was made and seconded. Both practices are acceptable"

I have it in my head that I read that with Zoom meetings in CA we have to record the names of the Motion Maker, the Second, and how each Board Member voted, by name? Can anyone help my memory?!

You only have to take a roll call vote on Zoom meetings. Name of director and how he/she voted.

I think an association should list who Made and who Seconded a motion and how people voted in the spirit of openness.

Tho' not Susan's question, our Board too made it a policy that the motion-mkwr, the one who seconds and names too those voting al be in the minutes for two reasons"

With JohnC, it improves tranparency greatly. Tho'I know there may not be many, owners who read meeting minutes can see which board members are active and which are bench warming deadwood,, one-trick ponies or worse. This would affect my voting if the silent, vacant-headed ones are incumbents.

On our Board of 6, 4 directors have not submitted agenda items. 4 out of 6 have never made a motion. One these has been a directors for 4 years. We did have a director for 4 years whose only contribution was to 2nd motions, which I do not count as "active." A couple of us chanted "'Dan', Dan the 2nd man."

In my experience, with over 30 directors on my board for 14 years, pathetically , the above is typical in my OAA.

To return to Susan' topic. Why should/shouldn't names be in meeting minutes??

A few months After our Board made it a policy to include names of motion makers, et., a directortor wore an agenda item to NOT include names at all. Her augment was that some owner, who'd read it in the minutes, had said something mean to her about the way she voted. She didn't even get a second on her motion.
