Quotes
Officials only, in order.
I know last Last year, I believe the list reopened for a short period of time. I assume that we got thousands of applications and we’re only able to house a certain number. Do you have any update on that list reopening?Janani Ramachandran · Councilmember · District 442:15

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
