Townsend commissioners decided to defer approval of minutes from prior meetings after several members reported they were looking at different file versions and one member flagged errors in an AI-generated transcript.
A commissioner said the AI version had misattributed a vote and assigned statements incorrectly, and members asked staff to standardize where minutes are stored and which version to use for review. The body agreed to roll minutes for 08/26 and 09/09 to the next meeting so members can compare attachments and the SharePoint copy.
