Which term is the written record of the discussions and decisions made during a meeting?

• A. Pre-Paving Conference
• B. Meeting Minutes
• C. Weekly Updates
• D. Action Items

Answer: (B)

The written record of discussions and decisions during a meeting is called meeting minutes. Minutes document who attended, when the meeting happened, what was discussed, the decisions reached, and any follow-up actions with assigned responsibilities and due dates. They serve as an official reference to confirm what was agreed and who is responsible for next steps, which is essential for keeping asphalt projects on track. The other options describe different things—a pre-paving conference is a preparatory meeting, weekly updates are status reports, and action items are the tasks that come out of meetings—so they don’t capture the full documented record of the meeting itself.
