Quotes
Officials only, in order.
I’m going to probably say the same thing that the other commissioners have said, but, you know, having sat here for 5 years, One of the successes of this department is partnership. And money does not fall from the skies. We’re not accepting this or voting on this with any predetermination of any final design.Vanita Louie · Commissioner2:36:06
That was why I asked. And Scott, also, I’m just curious here. It sounds like a lot of the issues that surround problems possibly with electrical currents and water are because of operator error, people on these boats. And I’m just curious, like they mentioned faulty wiring, improper installation of a homemade adapter. Or malfunctioning appliances or pieces of equipment.Joe Hallisy · Vice president3:25:04

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
