Audit and issues — final article
Summary
Post‑draft audit found transcription numeric inconsistencies and spelling variations; article revised to avoid asserting garbled numbers and to normalize names.
Spelling: transcript contains inconsistent spellings of trustee names and the mayor (e.g., Christop[h/ff]erson; Baldwin/Balderman). I standardized to the most consistently used forms in the record and flagged the transcript discrepancies.
Numbers: certain procurement figures — chiefly the police vehicle per‑unit and total purchase amounts — are garbled in the transcript. The article therefore reports those amounts as "not specified in the transcript" and includes the stated estimated per‑vehicle savings ($14,500) as reported by the chief.
Attribution: ensured quotes and attributions map to the speaker list; when a line could not be reliably tied to a named speaker (for example, clerk roll‑call prompts), the article attributes to the clerk or to the speaker who explicitly spoke the line.
Chronology and framing: kept the agenda order in the timeline but front‑loaded the article with the most consequential fiscal items. No speculative language added.
Result: article revised to remove or flag uncertain numeric claims and to correct inconsistent spellings; audit categories closed.
