Summary

Checklist of issues found in the draft articles and how they were resolved in the final revision.

This audit reviews the draft coverage against the meeting transcript and the Issues Rules provided.

spelling: [ {"type":"spelling_inconsistency","description":"Transcript uses multiple spellings for trustee names (Benkoli/Bencoli/Bancolle); unified spelling to 'Trustee Benkoli' using the transcript most common form.","severity":"medium"}, {"type":"place_name_misspelling","description":"Proclamation transcript contains several garbled references ('Hinnober Park', 'Hanro Park'); corrected to 'Hanover Park' in articles and proper_names.","severity":"high"} ]

clarity: []

chronology: [ {"type":"sequence_confusion","description":"Initial draft implied the board had adopted a resolution on Nov. 6. The transcript shows the board scheduled a follow-up workshop instead; the article was revised to state the board did not adopt an ordinance or resolution on Nov. 6 but set Nov. 14 for draft review.","severity":"high"} ]

framing: [ {"type":"overstatement","description":"Early draft suggested formal legal protections were enacted; transcript shows only a scheduling action. Language revised to avoid implying adoption of enforceable policy.","severity":"high"} ]

misinformation: []

misidentification: [ {"type":"role_assignment","description":"Some public speakers share surnames that match trustees; care taken to attribute comments only where the transcript identifies the speaker (e.g., Jacqueline Gutierrez identified herself as a homeowner; trustee Gutierrez later spoke). Article preserves distinct speaker identities and roles as stated at first appearance.","severity":"high"} ]

out_of_context: []

Quantitative_precision: [ {"type":"approximate_amounts","description":"Mayor referenced Elite RF grant as 'a little over $48,000.' Article reports amount as 'about $48,000' and flags it as approximate rather than exact.","severity":"low"} ]

Process_clarity: [ {"type":"board_process","description":"Transcript shows trustees expected both an ordinance and a resolution. Draft omitted that background; article now notes the October 16 motion and the board's expectation to review both documents side-by-side.","severity":"medium"} ]

Context_clarity: []

Agency_clarity: [ {"type":"county_differentiation","description":"Discussion referenced both DuPage County and Cook County; initial coverage conflated guidance. Revised articles distinguish DuPage County counsel advice (reported to the board) and Cook County's separate executive action mentioned by a trustee later in the meeting.","severity":"medium"} ]

Question_emphasis: []

omission: [ {"type":"missing_votes","description":"Draft omitted the formal roll-call approvals for warrants and payroll advances later in the meeting; updated article includes the vote outcomes and amounts as recorded in the transcript.","severity":"high"} ]

bias: []

duplicate: []

Attribution lock check: All quotations and attributions in the articles are tied to speakers extracted from the transcript speaker list. Where a statement in the transcript could not be tied to a named speaker, the final articles describe the statement as "the board" or leave it unattributed as appropriate.
