Quotes

Officials only, in order.

There are shovels about to be in the ground. And that’s exciting. And frankly, it’s also a big relief. I want to recognize also the level of coordination coordination that’s taking place across Metro, the city, the county, LA28, and our state and federal partners.Katy Young Yaroslavsky · Director · District 550:02

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
