An ordinary meeting often lists a confidential item that a committee closed its doors for a week earlier; the ordinary meeting adopts the committee's recommendation, and council may not make a resolution while a meeting is closed, so the ground is usually minuted only at the committee. Check anything that matters against the meeting page and council's own minutes.
