Quotes
Officials only, in order.
How do the musicians get more money? What would they do? They’d be part of a successful band and you’re the leader of the band and you would say I made an extra $100,000 this year. So now I’m gonna give each of you $20,000.Nicholas Sposato · Ward 3823:50

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
