The town’s minutes are the record: a vote from them carries the minutes’ own words, checked verbatim. A vote from the recording only was written by a language model from machine captions — a motion as heard, and “not audible” a finding about the recording — and links to the second in the video.

As of 2026-10-11. All boards.
