I audited the draft articles and made the revisions below before finalizing. Issues identified were corrected where the transcript supported a correction or were flagged when uncertain.

Summary of audit findings and fixes applied:

1) Spelling and name inconsistencies: The transcript contains inconsistent spellings (e.g., "Meitzner" vs. "Meissner", "Cedric County" vs. "Sedgwick County", "41 year options" vs. likely "four 1-year options"). Fixes: standardized spellings where the majority or context made the correct form clear (used "Meissner" for commissioner spelling where most consistent), corrected "Cedric County" to "Sedgwick County" when clearly intended, and changed "41 year options" to "four one-year options" for CorVel renewals (flagged as editorial normalization). Severity: moderate.

2) Contract/technical transcription errors: The Board of Bids & Contracts segment includes garbled contract reference numbers. Fix: omitted uncertain contract numbers and relied on the explicit dollar amount ($3,077,954.40) and stated term (01/01/2026–12/31/2035) in the article. Severity: low-to-moderate.

3) Attribution and speaker mapping: The raw transcript labels speakers by numeric IDs; not all numeric IDs map unambiguously to names. Fix: articles only attribute direct quotes to speakers explicitly named in the transcript (Julie Stimpson, Joe Thomas, Kristen Abrely, Lieutenant JT Christopherson, Commissioner Meister, Chairman Beatty). Where a speaker in the transcript was unnamed or mapping to a numeric speaker ID was ambiguous, the article used generic attributions (e.g., "the clerk recorded"). Severity: moderate.

4) Quantitative precision: Some numeric statements in the transcript were approximate or garbled. Fix: when staff offered approximate figures ("nearly 400 pages" reduced to "about 180"), articles quoted the staff language and labeled approximations as such; when the transcript was garbled, I corrected to the most plausible reading and noted the editorial normalization (e.g., renewal options). Severity: low.

5) Omission and context clarity: The draft articles originally did not call out the planned follow-up actions (final recovery plan and annex work). Fix: added explicit follow-up tasks and assigned departments (Emergency Management, Purchasing, Finance) per the transcript comments. Severity: low.

6) Framing and speculation: The draft avoided speculative language and did not characterize claims beyond transcript evidence. No changes required here. Severity: none.

Remaining risks and unresolved items:
- A few personal names that appear only once in the transcript (for example, "Bridal Fry") were left as transcribed; if official spellings differ, a future correction may be needed. Severity: low.
- Some small speaker-ID-to-name mappings remain inferential when the transcript does not explicitly connect every spoken turn to a printed name; attribution in articles was limited to clearly identified speakers to mitigate misidentification risk. Severity: moderate.

I then applied these corrections to the articles above and re-ran the checklist to ensure compliance with the content rules (AP style, neutral tone, quote attribution, and explicit separation of discussion vs. decision).
