Quotes
Officials only, in order.
I mean, not the air conditions— we don’t have any conditions like that— about the fans. I know you said that there is 250 in the warehouse, but how many units are actually operable in the housing areas, uh, versus inoperable? And how will they be switched out?Helen Skipper · Vice chair1:19:14

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
