The clerk made the changes after the errors were brought to her attention and had provided each council member with a copy of the minutes and the changes highlighted in yellow before the meeting began. Stefanelli agreed with Baldridge, saying that the council had agreed to address changes to the minutes at the meeting.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY Baldridge, SECONDED BY McDermott, to approve the July 15, 2024, minutes as originally presented to the council without the alteration. AYES: Baldridge, Finley, McDermott, Stefanelli. NAYS: Curran. MOTION CARRIED.
