## Editorial handling

- Published a dated Daily Watch brief because eSCRIBE now shows a Sept. 10 Special Council agenda after the Sept. 8 council meetings, while the candidate-list and fire-service leadership questions remain unresolved.
- Did not state any personnel decision, resignation, appointment, fire-department leadership change or Heritage Society grant result. The only confirmed council fact is the agenda/category and lack of confirmed public outcome.
- Did not publish candidate names. No accepted candidate list was found in the public pull.
- Safety lead was not escalated: no weather warning object, no DriveBC emergency alert, no Boundary EmergencyInfoBC item, and all under-100-km wildfire-map entries in the pull were Under Control.
