AUDIT ROW #414 · REESE'S TYPE CASE IS COVERED IN THE BANKED SET — POINTED TO
The council's long-server story has its type case already covered in the banked set: Council President Gene Reese, in service since January 1990, his service ending December 31, 2026, his loss of the Ward 2 Republican primary on May 5, 2026 to Rick Coffman printed in Walkerton Today as the transition it is. That record is pointed to and not duplicated. What this article adds is the roll's frame: a seat-by-seat council roll (wards by holder and year) is constructible from the same two settlers as the succession article (minute books; SBOA/Gateway schedules) and stands open under them at the same strength; the council firsts limb — first woman, first members of each community to sit — is tested against the named officers the records reached and returns no first of record below the settler line, printed as a test result at reached strength rather than a claim about the books unread. The distinction between this section's two states is maintained throughout: what is covered (Reese, the modern council of Walkerton Today) is covered; what is a settler's work is a settler's work.
Principal sources: Walkerton Today (Reese's service and transition), pointed to; settlers named — minute books and SBOA/Gateway schedules (the seat roll and firsts).
