Quotes
Officials only, in order.
I think, uh, I can find the overall application appropriate, but I do agree that the Mansard and the Dormers do need a little bit of work on the details and scale and proportions.Stephen Wilder51:38rec. 1

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
