Quotes

Officials only, in order.

…you all have a slide that, um, helps to outline the difference between, uh, what changes you were able to make to the policy from the last time you presented to us as a body and now to now?Rowena Brown · Councilmember · At-Large25:40rec. 1

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
