Confirm whether the record is adopted, draft, corrected, or subject to approval.
Common error: A proposed resolution does not establish corporate action.
Completed example
Cooperative, board, minutes, resolution, dates, and authorized action are fictional. No actual corporate act, authority opinion, or transaction approval is represented.
Birch Harbor Cooperative, Board Minutes at 4 (meeting Sept. 3, 2025; approved Sept. 17, 2025) (Resolution TRAIN-BHC-25-9).
Read the supplied source facts
Fictional packet TRAIN-T63 includes board minutes of Birch Harbor Cooperative for a meeting on September 3, 2025. The minutes were approved September 17 and bear an approval notation. Printed page 4 records adoption of Resolution TRAIN-BHC-25-9 authorizing a named officer to negotiate within specified limits. A meeting packet contains a broader proposed resolution that would have authorized execution, but the approved minutes show that wording was changed before adoption. The assignment asks what action the board recorded as adopted, not whether the resulting transaction is legally binding.
Why this works
The meeting and approval dates distinguish when the action occurred from when the minutes were approved. The resolution identifier assists retrieval, and the pinpoint reaches the adopted action as recorded. Describe the authority to negotiate within the stated limits; do not substitute the proposed authority to execute. Draft resolutions, meeting packets, approved minutes, and signed written consents can be different records with different roles. The source card should state the record's approval or correction status and preserve any adopted text attached to it. Citation precision does not independently resolve corporate authority or the legal effect of later conduct.
When the facts change
If corrected minutes later change the recorded vote or text, inspect the correction and explain which version is used. If the board acted by written consent, identify that instrument rather than inventing a meeting date. If a subsequent resolution expands the officer's authority, cite the later resolution for that expansion and keep the earlier limited action distinct in the chronology.
