Accurate minutes of public meetings must be maintained and made available to the public upon request. RCW 42.32.030 does not specify format or content, but the Open Government Ombudsman recommends that minutes contain, at a minimum, the following:
- Attendance of members;
- A final meeting agenda and any amendments during the meeting;
- Index any materials submitted and reviewed during the meeting;
- The final disposition of any matters for which the governing body takes final action;
- How each member voted if requested by a member during the voting.
