As the board secretary, you have responsibility for keeping the minutes of board meetings, because these minutes are part of the permanent history of the association.
Board meeting minutes usually contain resolutions for motions, seconds and board vote counts. Often resolutions become an extension of the governing documents.
For example, if the board entertains a resolution regarding limiting Dog Breeds in the complex, and the resolution is passed, this action effectively alters the governing documents' position on dog breeds allowed.
A community newsletter is generally considered a less formal communication vehicle, and may or may not be a permanent part of the associations business records.
You can condense the resolution about limiting dog breeds into a few sentences, and reference the complete resolution and its implementation by the board in the official minutes, so that an owner can read about the issue in complete detail.
Because you want all owners to remain up-to-date about 'what's happening' in the complex, you can distribute a mix of board meeting minutes and newsletters to on-site owner/ residents, tenants and off-site owners, depending on the contents of the communication.
The only tip is to be consistent with the level of detail you cover in each and in your distribution scheme. Also be wary of publishing so much information about board meeting business that you eliminate the motivation to attend board meetings in person.
Matters arising from previous minutes of a meeting refer to any actions or decisions that were discussed or agreed upon during the previous meeting that need to be followed up on or addressed in the current meeting. These matters typically include unresolved issues, action items that were assigned to specific individuals, or updates on progress made since the last meeting. It is essential to review and address these matters to ensure continuity, accountability, and progress within the organization or group.

Generally, your responsibilities include drafting board meeting minutes, circulating them among the board members before sending them to the membership, and making them available to anyone legally allowed to read them. Board meeting minutes are the written history of the association's business affairs.

Meeting minutes have to be signed by the chairperson and the secretary of the meeting. This is the legal way of authenticating the minutes after they have been read and confirmed by some of the members present.
according to Robert's Rule of Order: "If minutes are not habitually approved at the next meeting, then there should be written at the end of the minutes the word "Approved" and the date of the approval, which should be signed by the secretary."
'Minutes of the meeting' is a compilation of the points discussed at a meeting. The Minutes include details like the date of the meeting, agenda for the meeting and list of attendees, followed by the points discussed. It serves to keep a track on the progress of the actionables discussed and one can refer back to the Minutes to take stock of the current status. The minutes are usually circulated by either the secretary or else by someone who takes part in the discussion.
