These minutes were written for the records, which were read and found to comply ...
Your sentence is longer than ten words, and it's against the rules to post such a long question. But since it's Sunday, letç try to explain this to you:
"Para constar se lavrou a presente acta que lida e achada conforme vai ser devidamente assinada."
"Para constar"= for the records
"se lavrou a presente acta" = these minutes (of the meeting) were written
"que lida e achada conforme" = which were read and found to comply with the facts
"vai ser devidamente assinada" = will be duly signed
The order of the expressions should be slightly changed in English, and it should read:
"These minutes (of the meeting) were written for the records, which were read and, found to comply with the facts, will be duly signed (by the attending people)."
I hope this will help you make heads and tails, and even find a better way to express it in English.

Comment: "I would've split it up in parts, but since there aren't any commas that was a bit difficult, especially at 1am :-)"
