Keep in mind that if you amend the minutes of a meeting, you change what actually went on at the meeting.
Congress is known to change their minutes of congressional sessions. The only way to know what really went on is to watch C-SPAN's live broadcasts.
This is legal, by the way.
Meeting minutes are used so people who were not at the meetings (like SEC investigators who are trying to prosecute your thieving CEO) can have a good idea of what happened during the meeting. Generally, meeting minutes will be a brief summary of discussions, but the level of detail required should be tailored to your circumstances and your audience.
To ratify approved board meeting minutes, the chairman will ask, "all those in favor of approving the minutes, say aye". Then the chairman might ask "anyone opposed?". If no objections, the chairman might say "motion carried" and the minutes are then ratified.
The Chairperson, Seargent at Arms, MC, etc does this... You first ask if any amendments need to be made to minutes. If there are none you make a motion to accept the minutes as presented. All in favor vote. All opposed vote. Record the votes (indictaing who voted & how) in the current meeting minutes. Done.
A meeting agenda, or meeting papers, outlines a list of meeting activities in the order they will be discussed. Often approval of the previous meeting's minutes will start a meeting. Main points to be included in an agenda include the topics to be discussed and who is presenting. Time for discussion should also be included.

are the minutes of the meeting ...
"Minutes of the meeting were" is the correct phrase to use. "Minutes" in this context refers to a record of what was discussed or decided upon during a meeting, which is considered a plural noun requiring the plural verb "were."
The noun "minutes of a meeting" takes a singular verb when referring to the document itself (e.g. "The minutes of the meeting was distributed"), but a plural verb when referring to the contents or details within the document (e.g. "The minutes of the meeting were thorough").
Minutes are not typically capitalized unless they are part of a title or at the beginning of a sentence. For example, "Meeting Minutes" or "Minutes of the Meeting."
The "MINUTES" of the meeting are plural therefore they WERE adopted.
Meeting minutes contain opinions and commentary from the note-taker. Correct :)
