Quotes

Officials only, in order.

So we report an abandoned vehicle you come out and put the 7-day notice up, and at that same time you, you send out a notice for a hearing?Debra Silverstein · Ward 501:51:19
I really do appreciate that this has been moving forward. It’s something we’ve actually been been talking about for a number of years, and part of the reason why the Lincoln Avenue TIF had been extended for 13 years is knowing that there are investments in that stretch that need that kind of support.Andre Vasquez, Jr. · Ward 402:32:15

How we count

Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
