Quotes
Officials only, in order.
I just wanted to confirm that this is not an addition to the November 18th meeting. But it was previously titled Citywide Permit Reform. Is that is that the title change, or is this now a new additional item scheduled for the November 18th meeting?Rowena Brown · At-large city councilmember · At-Large5:46

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
