Data quality notes

• Minutes record motions, movers and roll calls but not the discussion, so there is no recorded debate. Every roll call in these minutes was unanimous.
• Council members are now named from the minutes; district numbers are known only for Coleman (10), Dunn (6), Harris (7), Hurst (5), Kenney (2) and Racca (12), taken from items naming the district member.
• The October 14 regular meeting agenda is image-only and the October 14, 21 and 28 minutes are not yet read. Items introduced September 9 are set for hearing on September 23 and will need the September 23 minutes.
• Routine consent-type items (change orders, final acceptances, janitorial and elevator contracts, minor amendments, individual lot and condemnation details) are not given their own pages. Private owners and buyers are not named.
• Resolution 59636 states two different settlement totals ($25,450.28 and $52,411.64) and Resolution 59633 gives both six and four years for the Concord Estates fee; the minutes do not resolve either.
• The Pettit Road, Carolyn Sue Drive and health insurance pages come from October agendas and have no minutes detail yet.
• Times and locations for the Board of Adjustment were not read.
