Transcript Partial transcript

Machine transcription of this 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. A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube; on this page it moves the player above the transcript.

How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 1 voices separated from the audio. 1 short machine repair(s) (1 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 98.6% of 801 content words. Dotted words (8 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading. 13 passages (35% 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.

of Cocoa. Over the past year, the city of Cocoa has seen a time of growth, challenges, and incredible strength as we adjust ‸ to a new normal after the rise of a global pandemic.

Let me show you why so many businesses choose Cocoa. Through this unimaginable year with COVID-19 impact, we stood by our businesses community ‸ with a commitment to relaunch our economy.

When the economy slowly started coming back, council approved expanded outdoor dining permits to allow patrons to maintain social distancing while giving our businesses ‸ the opportunity to reopen safely for our community and provide revenue and employment opportunities. A task was assembled with members from both private and public sectors to develop a marketing campaign that help our local businesses safely reopen their doors and let customers know they are open for business.
