I’m reading in— again, we’re getting the issue that was of concern to me, and I think has been expressed throughout this, is what notice does the vendor have? A vendor or vendors collectively?

“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice. A meeting missing there means we couldn’t attribute it, not that they were absent.
Attendance

Roll calls at 23 of 26 meetings, through Sep 16, 2026

From the clerk’s own record, listed by seat. This is the official attendance record. It is separate from our voice counts, and we don’t compare members on it.
