I just want to, you know, add another comment to Alder Quesada’s points, and that is if Mexican Americans and immigrants were to refuse to participate in the labor of this country, our economy would fall apart.”

“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice. A meeting missing there means we couldn’t attribute it, not that they were absent.
Attendance

Roll calls at 6 of 6 meetings, through Oct 15, 2026

From the clerk’s own record, listed by seat. This is the official attendance record. It is separate from our voice counts, and we don’t compare members on it.
How the record counts. The clerk's roll call records present or absent only; there is no excused category. Only the City Council and a few committees publish it.
