Daniel Richardson for Myself Nashua Annotating minutes with "... name and signature of the person who produced the minutes ..." is not feasible for some bodies because minutes are transcribed by secretaries from audio tape. The body then moves to accept previous meeting minutes. Who then really is the person who produced the minutes? | Nashua | Neutral | 300 | Jan 22, 2025 | |
