Audit summary: review categories identified the following issues in the first draft and how they were fixed in the final articles.
1) Spelling and proper names: The transcript used inconsistent spellings for the bakery (Heirloom/Heirloom donuts/Heirloom hair). Article normalizes to "Heirloom Donuts" and flags the transcript inconsistency for verification. Severity: medium.
2) Speaker identification and attribution: Many speakers in the transcript are recorded by speaker number rather than full name. The articles attribute quotes only to the speaker numbers or to names explicitly present in the transcript (e.g., Lee Moore, Rosanna Edwards). Where a full name was not provided, the transcript speaker number is used as the attribution label. Severity: medium.
3) Vote tallies and mover/second details: The transcript records voice votes without roll-call tallies and sometimes omits explicit seconder names. Articles report motions, note voice-vote passage, and recommend checking the official minutes and clerk records for exact roll-call tallies and ordinance citations. Severity: high for formal record-keeping concerns.
4) Process clarity: For planning fees, staff clarification that pre-application meetings requiring staff research may still incur fees was included verbatim from staff (Speaker 6) to avoid implying the board eliminated all fees. Severity: medium.
5) Missing ordinance text and conditions: For Tucker Bayou approval and code adoption, the transcript referenced approvals but did not include full ordinance language or conditions of approval. The articles note that formal texts must be consulted. Severity: medium.
Revision actions taken: corrected inconsistent business spelling in article text while flagging transcript variance; limited attributions to named speakers and speaker numbers only; added clarifying language quoting planning staff on the pre-application distinction; explicitly noted absence of recorded roll-call tallies and recommended consulting clerk's minutes for formal records; consolidated Tucker Bayou and code-update coverage into one land-use article to align related agenda items.
Remaining verification steps: confirm Heirloom Donuts official business name and address in county records; obtain published ordinances and meeting minutes to capture exact vote tallies, effective dates and any conditions of approval.
