Status
This is NOT the official transcript. 3 V.I.C. § 884 requires the agency itself to make a verbatim record of its
proceedings and reduce it to a transcript within sixty days. This is a working transcript produced by machine from a
recording of the proceeding, offered as a finding aid.
Transcribed by
VI Update, using OpenAI Whisper large-v3-turbo, run locally. Not reviewed by a person.
Reliability
Automatic transcription, UNVERIFIED. Verify every quotation against the recording before relying on it. Speech
recognition splits spoken digits and wraps figures mid-number, so a dollar amount, a vote count or a bill number
can be wrong in a way that reads as correct. Speakers are not identified: automatic speaker labelling was
measured unusable and removed.
Public record
The underlying proceeding is a public record, and this body is NAMED as a governmental agency in 1 V.I.C. §
253(b), so its meetings are open to the public under § 254. 3 V.I.C. § 884 requires it to make a verbatim record of
each proceeding and reduce it to a transcript within sixty days, and § 884(b) makes that transcript open to
examination under § 881, which also gives every citizen the right to copy it and the news media the right to publish
it. The source recording is not ours, is not hosted here, and remains with its publisher at the link above.
Rights
To what we added · the transcription, its arrangement and its description · we assert nothing. A verbatim transcript is
mechanical rather than authored, so there is likely nothing in it to own; to the extent any copyright is nonetheless
found to subsist, it is dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0. Please copy it, quote it, index it, train on it,
republish it, mirror it, sell it. Redistribution is the point: a public record with one copy is one fire from gone. No
permission is needed, and none is ours to grant or withhold.

People named in this transcript
SUSPECTED, and a finding aid only. Names were matched by machine against the spellings used across all 426 of our transcripts, and the
title is the one used in the room. Being named here is NOT evidence that a person attended or spoke · only that the name was said. Speech
recognition mishears names, so a spelling may be wrong even where no alternative is offered.
