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.”

“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 5 of 5 meetings, through Oct 7, 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.
