Quotes

Officials only, in order.

Is it true that a creator can set it up so people can vote multiple times for the same thing?Joe Hallisy · Vice president1:06:20
Appreciate that, because I mean, As far as I’m concerned, a lot of the crafts are bare bones already, and that would be a big hit to the department and the city. So appreciate you fighting for as many positions as you guys can retain.Larry Mazzola, Jr. · Commissioner1:50:06

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
