Quotes

Officials only, in order.

I see that the funds come from 2999. Um, was this previously budgeted in the biennial cycle, this project, or is it a new project that we’re identifying funds?Janani Ramachandran · City councilmember · District 47:54
…will you all need to come back once you find the, the— once you select the folks to do the audit, or can you just move forward?Rowena Brown · At-large city councilmember · At-Large9:12
So, um, capital improvement projects and human services are a big chunk of our budget, but they’re by no means all of our budget. Um, are there other plans to do forensic audits on other parts of our budget? How did we select these 2 pieces?Zac Unger · Councilmember1:51:54

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
