How the DAAC and Chamber review has developed

This log records the development of the story. Earlier entries describe the status at that time; they do not mean the current live story is unpublished.

• September 26, 2026 — reader-flow revision: added topic-specific titles, introductions and transitions; made the next reading step prominent; retained the eight-section structure and source links. Applied to the published pages September 26, 2026. The Seven Rivers introduction adds the council association’s program description. Recent office-location leads are not presented as established County support.

• September 26, 2026: added readable source pages and a spreadsheet companion; replaced the two Seven Rivers PDF-page references with reading pages containing checked account transcriptions and upright source images. Original PDFs retained. No change to the underlying evidence findings.

• September 26, 2026: reviewed the supplied September 17 Priority Questions & Evidence Brief. Added account-specific questions to the spending page and strengthened DAAC funding-request and unspent-fund questions. Historical source-status and chronology wording in the brief were not carried forward as current findings.

• September 26, 2026: incorporated questions from the September 17 initial and revised hearing-comment drafts. A separately labeled final handout has not yet been identified. Updated obsolete allocation uncertainties against the received worksheets.

• September 26, 2026: emphasized residents’ questions about benefit, full cost, independent revenue and oversight; clarified the roughly nine-cents finding where used. Kept public-review gaps and reimbursement evidence visible. No new underlying evidence or misconduct finding.

• September 25, 2026, editorial revision: linked this article to the lead budget story and separate Seven Rivers article. County financial oversight questions remain distinct from City records requests.

• September 25, 2026: separated economic-development relationships into Story 2; incorporated the DDA reactivation history and City budget entries. Kept the City DDA distinct from DAAC and the reported contract revenue distinct from traced County money. No duplicate-payment finding, publication or new records request.
