Speaker 2, Council member, said: "Miss Dolores Thomas is in real bad shape. ... They took her down to Columbia, and she's gonna have to have her leg amputated." The transcript identifies Thomas as a former city judge and a long-time member of the Chester Healthcare Foundation.

Later in the excerpt, Speaker 1 said they would "entertain a motion to adjourn," and Speaker 3 said, "I'll make a motion we adjourn." The transcript does not record a second or a vote on the motion to adjourn.
