These minutes of the Council of Directors of the Central State Hospital are of the outline type and very often are not more than one page in length. A typical meeting's minutes might include: (1) a list of attendees (2) an announcement of approval or amendment of the previous meeting's minutes (3) brief outlines of the major items discussed including purchases of new supplies (4) security problems (5) various committee reports (6) policy changes (7) projections of future directions of departments or divisions of the hospital (8) personnel matters and announcements of the next scheduled meeting. An interesting feature is the appending of several council members's signatures to every meetings' minutes thus indicating their approval of their contents. Besides the outline of each meeting's proceedings various attachments are also often included usually consisting of memorandums from the Mental Health Division offices in Atlanta announcing new programs and requests for special reports. There apparently is no regular schedule for meetings of the council, but every two weeks is average.
