MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> February 27,2023 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> these exchanges. It also leaves me wondering where we're going to head from here in terms of corrections <br /> to the minutes because it is very important to me,this is being voted into permanent record. And I don't <br /> take that lightly. And I don't think anyone else up here does either. <br /> Carlson said the very first minutes,the January 9 minutes were done by a new recorder who did not know <br /> voices and there was no video, only audio.Just like any new recorder,the first few meetings they do need <br /> a little bit extra help on those. It was our error for maybe not catching every single one of those things that <br /> you caught but we did fix them. And they are in the minutes now. <br /> Benson asked about how the transcriptionist makes decisions on what to include. <br /> Seals asked what direction is provided to the contractor. <br /> Carlson said she could provide the information that was given to the contractor on her understanding of <br /> what should be included in the minutes. <br /> Seals said it would be good for everyone to have a common understanding of the rules and for the City to <br /> look into other features like closed captioning on the videos.Because on the flip side,I hear all the time <br /> that people don't read. Frankly,they just want to listen to things. So I don't think you're ever going to <br /> make everyone happy. <br /> Benson brought up changes to the January 9 minutes. <br /> Johnson said that discussion would pertain more to the second motion. <br /> Carlson noted she is working on an agenda management program that will affect the videos and include <br /> closed captioning. She hopes to have it in place by May. <br /> Walsh restated the motion on the floor to keep the same method for summary minutes as is being done <br /> currently. <br /> Johnson moved,Crosby seconded,to continue the current practice for maintaining minutes. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> Johnson said his second motion would be to adopt the minutes from Exhibit A because they meet the <br /> standard of what we just agreed upon in that motion. <br /> Crosby said he would second it. <br /> Benson said she would need to have more discussion because she would feel comfortable with some of <br /> the minutes but not with one in particular. We have them all together lumped into this motion;they're not <br /> separate. <br /> Page 6 of 22 <br />
