Q. When do the minutes of our meeting need to be drafted?
A. New York State’s Open Meetings Law (OML) dictates that minutes must be drafted within two weeks of a board meeting. A 2021 amendment to OML now also requires the draft minutes to be posted the library’s web site in a publicly accessible location.
