According to the minutes, the amendment was tabled at the meeting by Councillor Munsif Dad. This seems to be confirmed by the Observer tweet. As such, it wouldn't have been available with the agenda.
Presumably Councillor Dad read the amendment out at the meeting, slowly enough for everyone present to absorb it, write it down if necessary and give it the due thought and consideration necessary because it was so different to the original motion.....or perhaps Councillor M. Dad had it already written down and was able to circulate it to the assembled throng.....or perhaps there was some hurried exchanges at the meeting, with mumbles and grumbles about being fair to all sides in the conflict, and the final minute was put together in the comfort of Scaitcliffe House in the following days.
Only those present at the meeting can tell us........
