Councilperson Gay stated that the minutes did not reflect what happened at the Council meeting. He stated the following: "The minutes are not correct in the reflection of what happened at the Council meeting, and there needs several corrections made, because I feel that the minutes here will be transferred to the Justice Department and it doesn't reflect the various things that was said at the meeting, which was the motions that was made concerning the re-districting - that is not entered into the meeting - the minutes - at all. Where the proposal was that Mr. Cooper made a motion to amend the minutes - to amend the minutes - to amend of the minutes to reflect a change in the re-districting, and that I made a motion to have a change in the meeting - in the minutes also. So that doesn't reflect at all in the minutes. It doesn't reflect the way that the vote was carried out or any of this nature. So the minutes are not right."
