Las Cruces Council Work Session - September 9, 2024

The city’s minutes for this meeting were compared, sentence by sentence, against the transcript of the recording. Of 25 statements the minutes attribute to a named person, 25 were found in the recording.

Summarised — gaps worth reading. The comparison is mechanical and has no opinion about why two documents differ. A gap can be honest summarising; a mismatch can be the caption software mishearing. Both texts are shown so you can decide, and the correction form at the bottom is there for when the machine is wrong.

Bencomo: a negation on the recording is missing from the minutes (“don't”)

Says something different

Both records carry the same sentence, but they disagree on a number or on whether it was negative. The same sentence appears in both records, but the recording contains “don't” where the minutes have nothing — which reverses its sense. Around: “i have plenty of ideas so i think a lot of us do”.

What the minutes say

Councilor Bencomo said I think last time you all presented, gosh I don’t remember at this point when that was, but I remember feeling really confident at the end of that meeting regarding the timeline of obligated funds. Today I am a little bit nervous. Four million dollars is a big chunk of money. I don’t want to send a single penny back and so I am just curious if you could speak to that because this $4.3ish million in obligated funds doesn’t mean that we have money for because I have plenty of ideas, so I think a lot of us do. That is not what it means, right? Like those four million dollars are designated somewhere?
