Officials only, in order.
So if those 35,000 households did sign up, just for the sake of argument, would that still be viable for the agency to have all of those customers enrolled?Avni Jamdar · Commissioner · Seat 154:30

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
