Quotes
Officials only, in order.
I do have one question for staff, however, and that has to do with Secretary of Interior Standards, Standard Number 3, and if you could address your determination that it— the nature and character or the, you know, sort of the design of it doesn’t create a false sense of historic development?Gayle Tsern Strang · Commissioner · Seat 1 Historic Architect40:39

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 99 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
