### Record gaps worth flagging
- **Seven agenda items appear in the minutes with no recorded motion, vote, or outcome:** Item 11 (LDCU-2026-8, Reynolds Road Event Facility), Item 14 (LDPD-2026-7, U.S. Hwy 27 Retail Center Modification), Item 15 (LDSPD-2026-1, Old Dixie Highway SPD), Item 16 (LDPD-2026-6, Deeson Road RRD), Item 17 (LDCU-2025-35, Crossed Paws Rescue CU), Item 18 (LDCPAL-2026-5, Indian Lakes Estates sewer/duplex text amendment), and Item 19 (LDCT-2026-12, Chapter 4 Section 402 C Indian Lakes Estates text amendment). The "Comprehensive Plan update" and "Adjournment" entries likewise carry no detail.
- **Two votes list no mover or seconder** (LDCT-2026-7 and LDCPAL-2026-4) — the fields are blank in the minutes.
- **Attendance inconsistency:** Kevin Updike is listed as excused in the roll call, but is recorded as voting AYE on both the minutes approval and the Explanation of Quasi-Judicial Proceedings; those two entries list only Beltran as absent, while all subsequent items list both Beltran and Updike as absent.
