Meeting minutes are important to recap what was said or done in a meeting. I have been tasked with taking minutes, but I know that no one really read them. It would be just sent to the manager and uploaded to SharePoint. Even though they were barely read they were a good tool to remember any action items that needed to be completed. It was good if someone said they were going to look into something or get back to something because it would keep them accountable for whatever they said they were going to do. Beside keeping everyone up to date on what happened in the meeting, I do believe that was one great part about the minutes.
