Las Cruces Council Work Session - Mar 25, 2024
The city’s minutes for this meeting were compared, sentence by sentence, against the transcript of the recording. Of 37 statements the minutes attribute to a named person, 36 were found in the recording.

Both texts are shown so you can decide, and the correction form at the bottom is there for when the machine is wrong.

Larry Nichols: a negation on the recording is missing from the minutes (“not”)
Says something differentBoth 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 “not” where the minutes have nothing — which reverses its sense. Around: “once we have received a complaint and a complaint”.
What the minutes say
Larry Nichols said once we have received a complaint and a complaint, as I mentioned earlier it can come from several different sources. But many times the complaint comes from the people that are occupying one of these structures.

It would still be the property owners expense to do that. If we
