Quotes

Officials only, in order.

I would like to see if we can talk about the sobering centers or get someone from the Sheriff’s Office to come share an update on those sobering centers and what that programming is going to look like and how the staffing is going to look like as well. Is that possible?Estela N. Ortiz2:12:25

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
