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.
