Quotes
Officials only, in order.
I would say it most relates to the general purpose reserves exceeding 30%. So one thing you may have caught in the Q4 R&E report from Tiffany just a moment ago is that we had about $25 million in excess real estate transfer tax, right? That’s what I’m talking about. That was, you know, we originally budgeted $73 or so.Ben Gould · Commissioner26:21

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
