What types of records must be maintained under the Open Meeting Law?
Section 67-2344(1) requires that the governing body of a public agency must provide for the taking of written minutes of all of its meetings, but it is not necessary to make a full transcript or recording of the meeting, except as otherwise provided by law. These minutes are public records and must be made available to the general public within a reasonable time after the meeting.

Other statutes may provide more specific requirements for particular entities. In addition, section 67-2344(2) provides that minutes of executive sessions must be made but the minutes need only contain sufficient detail to convey the general tenor of the meeting and need not contain the disclosure
