# Meeting Signals

Source transcript: `9fmzg0es66y.city_council_meeting_6_1_2026.txt`

Generated from normalized transcript text using deterministic pattern matching.

This document surfaces candidate evidence lines only. It does not prove absence, verify claims, resolve disputes, interpret intent, or produce the final civic record.

Public-comment content is not extracted in this deterministic signal pass because comment boundaries are transcript-dependent and better handled by the downstream record-generation pass.

Use these signals as review scaffolding for a later record-generation pass, not as authoritative meeting minutes.

## Extraction Notes

- This artifact is intentionally generic across public meeting types.
- It may miss actions, votes, speakers, topics, or context.
- It may include false positives caused by transcription errors.
- Empty sections mean no matching lines were detected, not that the event did not happen.
- Money references are transcript-derived and should not be treated as verified amounts.
- Important claims should be verified against the original recording and official meeting records.
