Internal audit of draft articles — identified issues and revisions applied

Audit summary: I reviewed the draft articles against the meeting transcript and the publication rules. Key issues identified and corrected in the final revision included normalizing place names (e.g., Russell County), clarifying or qualifying garbled numeric values (particularly one road-fund figure that was unclear in the transcription), removing or reattributing any quotations that could not be mapped to a speaker on the transcript, and ensuring that motions/votes are represented only as recorded (voice votes rather than invented roll-call tallies). All corrections were made without inventing facts not present in the transcript.

Notable fixes applied in revision:

- Spelling: Normalized 'Russ County' to 'Russell County' throughout. Kept vendor and program names as stated in the transcript unless clearly inconsistent. - Attribution: Limited attributions to speakers who self-identified or were explicitly identified in the record (e.g., Jay Helm, Sydney Galisia, Leah White, Magistrate Garner, Magistrate Richardson). Unattributed remarks are presented without named attribution. - Numeric clarity: Where the transcript contained garbled numbers (for example the road-fund line read '2,717,91'), the article presents the general fund and other clear figures exactly and characterizes the unclear amount as approximately $2.7 million and flags it for verification. - Votes/actions: Presented outcomes as recorded (voice votes) and avoided inventing roll-call tallies.

No remaining high-severity factual contradictions were found in the final revision. The final articles conform to the attribution and quotation constraints in the briefing.
