Audit context

What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

Partly agrees; describes historical burial records, a new map and claimed marker installation.

Audit analysis

Agency Finding 1 describes a poster-board map, spreadsheet and markers reportedly installed July 3, plus a proposed kiosk and database reconciliation. Existing records do not clearly rebut the jury’s finding about absent physical wayfinding. The disputed portion remains incomplete; claimed installation and future-work language also overlap.

Finding-response score

Document completeness and usefulness—not factual verification or a legal conclusion.
