…do we think, and what’s the timescale for structuring sort of broader stakeholder outreach?”
“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 21 of 24 meetings, through Jul 28, 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.

How the record counts. The clerk's minutes list each member as present, absent or excused at the roll call. Excused means the board voted to excuse the member.
