The minutes of all regular and special Council meetings, Council committee meetings, and village boards and commissions shall be recorded and kept by the Fiscal Officer, and all these minutes and other public records shall be open to the public in conformance with the state public records laws and the rules of the Records Commission of the village. The minutes serve as records of action and not as actions in themselves. Minutes are not intended to be legal transcriptions of a public meeting but need to provide a full and accurate record of official proceedings including sufficient facts and information to permit the public to understand and appreciate the rationale behind the official decision. Minutes do not become official public records until they are approved by Village Council at the next subsequent meeting.
