Audit and editorial checks — final pass

Harrison County Commissioners Court · January 13, 2025

Summary

Post-draft audit found transcription inconsistencies in several names and resolved attribution ambiguity by relying on on-record introductions and role labels; articles revised to avoid misidentifying speakers where the transcript was unclear.

Audit findings: Several minor transcription/spelling inconsistencies exist in the meeting record (for example: Haines vs Haynes; Ebarb vs Eubart; Malden/Maldon; DeBois/DeBoer). Where the transcript did not explicitly link a speaking turn to an introduced full name, the articles use role labels (for example, "County Auditor," "Road & Bridge representative") to avoid misidentification.

Revisions made: Names and titles are used only where the transcript explicitly provided them (self-identification or clear introduction). Dollar amounts, dates, and formal motions were kept verbatim as read on the record. Where the transcript shows conflicting spellings for the same office or person, the article flags the need for official-record verification and uses the exact phrasing that was read on the record when quoting.

Remaining checks: Verify official appointment records and county minutes for exact spellings of appointees and commissioners if publishing to the official record. Verify vendor/contract documents (RingCentral, CDW, Motorola/contractor) for exact contract values and dates if further reporting is required.
