Why this matters: Lipscomb has gone long stretches without published minutes. Auto-generating and indexing them means any decision is findable in seconds — "when did we vote on the AmWaste contract?" stops being a filing-cabinet search and a records-request headache. Minutes remain draft until the Council approves them, exactly as required.
