Follow-ups named in the minutes
- The town clerk will be scheduling the runoff election next week and it will be held soon.
What the extraction was unsure about
- Extracted mechanically from the town's own minutes text (data/minutes/<meeting_id>.txt), which names the mover and seconder of every motion; the audio transcript was not consulted for attribution.
- Town minutes are the (UNAPPROVED) draft as published by the town.
- Agenda items are the ALL-CAPS section headings in the minutes, so their wording is the town's own and their order is the order in the document.
- Public comment lists only what the minutes record; visitors are listed when the minutes name them without recording a statement.
- Vote field is 'unanimous voice vote' when the minutes say 'All in favor', a numeric count when one appears, otherwise null.
