Image descriptions to confirm (1)

• Page 14: confirm alt text: 'Stamp reading "APPROVED", showing that these minutes have been approved.'

Other choices worth a look (24)

• Page 1: This image is a grey 'APPROVED' watermark; marked Artifact, so screen-reader users will not hear that these minutes are approved.
• Page 1: The 'Mayor:' and 'Councillors:' labels sit in their own blocks, separate from the names in this text block, so the reading order says both labels first and then all the names.
• Page 2: This image is a grey 'APPROVED' watermark stamped across the page. I tagged it Artifact, so screen-reader users will not hear that the minutes are marked approved.
• Page 2: These text blocks (report titles such as 'CL 09-2025: ...') are tagged H3 under the bold section headings. Earlier pages may have tagged agenda items like these as P.
• Page 3: This image is a large grey 'APPROVED' watermark across the page, so it is tagged Artifact; if the approval status matters to readers, it could be a Note instead.
• Page 3: This text block (the appointment item with an underlined link) is tagged H3 under 'Appointments', to match how the underlined report titles were tagged on earlier pages.
• Page 4: This image is a grey 'APPROVED' watermark across the page, tagged Artifact; if the approval status matters to readers it is stated nowhere else in the text
• Page 4: This text block 'Staff Reports (continued)' tagged H2 as a continuation of the earlier Staff Reports section, so it is announced as a second heading with the same name
• Page 5: This image is the faint 'APPROVED' watermark behind the paragraph, so I tagged it Artifact. It carries the document's approval status, which a screen-reader user would not hear.
• Page 5: This text block (CL 11-2025) is tagged H3 under 'Staff Reports (continued)'. That fits the CL/CAO numbering, but no new H2 is visible on this page to confirm it.
• Page 6: This image is a grey 'APPROVED' watermark behind Resolution No. 11. It is tagged Artifact, so screen readers will not announce that the minutes were approved.
• Page 7: This image is a grey 'APPROVED' watermark across the page; tagged Artifact, so screen-reader users will not hear that the minutes are marked approved.
• Page 8: This image is the grey 'APPROVED' watermark stamped across the middle of the page, so it is marked as an Artifact; if the document's approval status matters to readers, it could be stated in the document meta
• Page 8: This text block 'Resolution No. 14' sits in a left-hand column beside the mover, seconder, resolution and disposition. It is tagged as plain paragraphs, not a table; this text block could also be a heading, but earlier pages d
• Page 9: This image is a grey 'APPROVED' stamp over the accounts table. I tagged it Artifact as a watermark because the motion result is already stated in text. If the stamp is meant as a record of approval, it
• Page 9: These text blocks (#25–#29) are tagged H3 to match how items #22–#24 were tagged on earlier pages. On this page they appear as a list of items with no body text, so P or a list could also fit.
• Page 10: This image is a grey 'APPROVED' watermark across the page, tagged as Artifact. If the approval stamp is meant to tell readers the minutes were approved, it would need to be a Figure with alt text instead.
• Page 11: This image is the grey 'APPROVED' watermark across the resolution; tagged Artifact so it is not read in the middle of the resolution text.
• Page 12: Council Round Table and Closed Session tagged H2 as new top-level sections; they could instead be H3 items under New Business.
• Page 12: This image is the faint 'APPROVED' watermark behind the text, tagged Artifact.
• Page 13: This image is a grey 'APPROVED' watermark stamped over the page, so it is marked Artifact; if the approval stamp is meant to carry meaning, it should be a Figure instead
• Page 13: 'Confirmatory By-law' and 'Adjournment' are tagged H2 because they use the same bold italic style as the earlier section headings such as 'Closed Session'
• Page 14: The grey APPROVED stamp is tagged as a Figure because it tells the reader the minutes were approved. If it is only a decorative watermark, it should be an Artifact.
• Page 14: The clerk and mayor names sit on signature lines. They are tagged as separate paragraphs, not as a table.
