Operating procedures: Paragraph 3.3.7. 
I suggest the LJCPA record all meetings with an audio recording that is available on request only for a fixed length of time.  This will provide a record of the meeting in case of a future question about something said at the meeting or a question about the minutes. 
If recording is not required it could happen that the meeting is not recorded and a question may arise later. i.e. the secretary is absent or doesn't want to record.  It is just a good back up for many reasons.
