Officials only, in order.
The problem here is that the city, as part of our agreement, is the financial backstop for the game. So what we are also financially invested— if LA28 runs a deficit exceeding $540 million, you know who’s on the hook?Jenny Chavez · Vice president2:30:39

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 98 of 100 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
