Quotes
Officials only, in order.
It’s about identifying the problems and fixing them and owning them. And so, um, it’s not insurmountable, and I’m confident we’ll be ready for the Olympics.Kathryn Barger · 1st vice chair · LA County Supervisor, District 532:36
I know there are people who are watching that closely, so thank you for that clarification. Um, I know that you also— there’s also been discussion around no-work days, and, um, 63 of the 93 days that are indicated as no-work days actually fall outside of the Olympic and Paralympic competition window.Lindsey Horvath · Director · LA County Supervisor, District 31:08:56

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
