Audit of draft articles — issues found and fixes applied

Audit summary: The draft articles were reviewed against categories including spelling, clarity, chronology, framing, misinformation, misidentification, out‑of‑context quotes, quantitative precision, process clarity, context clarity, agency clarity, question emphasis, omission and bias.

Issues found and fixes applied:

1) Missing vote tallies and roll‑call details: transcript records voice votes and "ayes" but no roll‑call counts. Fix: the articles avoid inventing tallies; where a final vote tally was not recorded in the transcript, the articles note that the transcript does not contain roll‑call tallies and list outcomes as "approved" or "postponed" as the minutes record.

2) Montreat spelling inconsistencies in the transcript (occasionally showed "Monterey"): fixed all occurrences to the correct municipal name, Montreat, and noted when an email in the packet used a different spelling (email address preserved as given in the transcript).

3) Speaker identification clarity: only names explicitly stated in the transcript were used as speaker names; other participants are given a single, stable functional label (for example, "Attorney (for Burns)", "Town Manager" and "Commissioner"). All article quotes are attributed to speakers present in the meeting speaker list.

4) Legal authority naming: the transcript referenced a stormwater provision as section "3 0 5 1"; the article lists it as the Montreat stormwater ordinance, section 3051, and cites it as referenced in hearing materials rather than asserting statutory interpretation.

5) Out‑of‑context / lifted quotes: quotations used are short verbatim lines clearly tied to a speaker and placed within surrounding factual context to avoid misinterpretation.

No remaining high‑severity issues were found in the revised articles after these corrections.
