“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 21 of 23 meetings, through Sep 22, 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 for the meeting. Medical, parental, bereavement, jury duty and conflict are counted as excused; we keep the clerk's own label.
