Transcript Partial transcript
Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have
not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard.
It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's
minutes do that (above).
A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube, in a new tab.
130 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 11 voices separated from the audio.
14 short machine repair(s) (16 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one.
Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs and whether a voice was detected where the words are. Not completed: language review.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 90.1% of 4,337 content words.
Dotted words (135 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
130 passages (23% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.
Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

Everyone bow your heads please and join me in prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, I'd like to give thanks to you on this beautiful morning ‸ for allowing us to arrive here at our beautiful City Hall.

Mr. Mayor. I'm jumping in because ‸ probably requires some explanation of how we got here. So, we have, I'll call them three slots. Mr. Chabot occupies one slot. Mr. Manfredi occupies a second slot. And then there's a third slot that is vacant.
you have in front of you in terms of the ballot, you have Mr. Bashard. I think that's how you pronounce his name. And you have. Okay, you don't have, but it's coming. It'll, it'll be. So you have Bashan. Um, and then you have Catherine Stewart.
She applied on the 13th. As you know, there is a background screening that we go through and just didn't have time to do that. But obviously she had an expectation because she's here that, uh, hers would be on the ballot, um, for, for this meeting. And it's, it has been, uh, ‸ 12 days there. So, so, um, we just gave you right prior ‸ to starting the meeting, Mrs. Jones's application, which again, doesn't give you very much time to process that. Um, so you have, uh, if you choose to do the ranking, you,
And then you have Mrs. Stewart competing for that. Um, and if Mrs. Stewart moves up to the vacant slot, then you would have two alternate slots available because Mrs. Stewart occupies currently an alternate slot. So, um, that's sort of the current, uh, circumstances.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:06:37–00:06:37 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
The resolution that we all agreed to as a council. Says that members who have not exceeded their maximum allowable number of terms. May be reappointed by the city council and will be considered along with any new applicants who have applied for the position. So really we have one ballot here. And a ranking amongst them. This is the, this is what we approved in May.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:07:33–00:07:38 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
that point. And we had only one female representative of the nine members. So, you know, we, this was, um, we went through a process and we determined that this was the right way to go. So that we all have a vote. Again, we're a council manager ‸ form of government. Each council member has an equal vote of five votes.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:08:34–00:08:35 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording

Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:08:54–00:08:55 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
but, but these ballots follow the process that you adopted. The question now is whether or not you want to add Mrs. Jones to the ballot, because again, she submitted on November 13th. But again, we haven't gone over,
done the background review. Obviously she's a known commodity and so I don't think she, she would have any issues making it through the background. And so, so I'm going to give you the two different ballots and then you guys determine whether or not how you want to proceed from there.
cutting to the chase and I want to hear from Anthony. There's two ballots. Out of the two ballots, we're going to vote just on one of the ballots, right? Is that my correct understanding?
Flag: words only one machine reading has (possibly not said) · 00:10:42–00:10:44 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording

the ballot. And, you know, ranking, you know, one through, one through whatever. And then the scoring, the ‸ three candidates with the lowest cumulative score would be put on
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:11:21–00:11:23 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
member. And then ‸ my understanding is there's one alternate. So, the fourth lowest score, if you selected the ballot with five candidates, would get the alternate position.

Okay. Thank you, sir. Yeah. You're good. Yeah. Welcome. I want to start off by saying how honored I am to have been elected by you all as Deputy Mayor. And I appreciate all the kind words that were said the other day.
constituent who called me because she can't walk down her sidewalk. Well, if you look at that truck and where the sidewalk goes, there's absolutely no way anybody could ever walk down that sidewalk. And she wanted us to do something, which I let the city manager know about.
Yeah. It's part of Coventry. And so, I don't know why it was allowed to be built that way. Obviously, there's no going back and fixing that now. But I feel

recycling plant. And I had never shared some of these pictures of, I'd never been in a recycling plant before. But it was impressive to see all that they're doing there. And many people didn't know that ‸ it had been shut down and now reopened again. But the people there do a great job. And then this event was at Lost Lakes with the general contractor for the new BP station that's going to go in on the corner. ‸ And I was called that day and asked if I would please attend by some of the homeowners in Lost Lakes.
And as you can see, the room was packed, standing room only over that. But unbeknownst to me, even though I had talked to the transportation office, they're going to put a light there outside of that,
which was something the homeowners really wanted. Now, there's still concern about the amount of traffic that's going to come out into their drive. But they also thought it was going to be a truck stop. And it's not. It's strictly, it's going to have 12 pumps and four of them will be diesel. But
They'll go over to the Flying J for that. So it was very educational for the homeowners. And, and I was glad that I got to attend that and talk with all of them on that issue. So there's still some who aren't happy, but for the most part, I think they're in favor of it. So, and that's going to make a huge difference up there on that corner because that lot's way bigger. And then

Oh, and then I was at ‸ Boston for the National Association of Realtor Convention. I serve on the State and Local Issues Policy Committee. I've been on that for four years now. And affordable housing was ‸ a big topic of conversation with that. So I just wanted to point that out. And then, of course,
And he had to leave. So he missed the deputy mayor part. And my son texted him and told him ‸ that I'd been voted in. And he thought it was a joke. And then I sent him the picture of me standing next to it. And he thought it was staged. And so by the time he got ‸ done with rehearsal that night and we talked, I said, no, it's true. I am deputy mayor. So he says there'll be no living with her now. So. But all these folks have just been instrumental ‸ in helping me to get where I am. And I'm very grateful to all of them. And especially the good Lord, because I would not be here. He wanted me in this spot and he opened the doors for it. So I just wanted to say that.
