Quotes

Officials only, in order.

So according to this, is it possible to request the presence of someone from the sheriff’s office to speak about the crowding and why they haven’t complied with the policies specified in 511.2 AG, or maybe if per their assessment, the trigger is not there. Is it possible to ask them to be here for the next meeting?Carla Cuevas · Board of Supervisors1:06:56

Who spoke

6 officials identified · talk time, most first.

Roll call: 5 present, 0 excused, 0 absent. From the clerk

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
