HOW TO READ THIS FILE
Presence, moving a motion, questioning and voting are different records
Attendance reproduces the City’s quarterly grids and separates formal council meetings from committees, hearings and workshops. Motion counts cover 35 written motion records from 2025 and available 2026 registries through August 25. “Substantive” removes agenda and minutes approval, in-camera transitions and adjournment. The question number is a minimum from written minutes; audio may raise it. None of these numbers proves how much work a member did outside the chamber.
For a mayor, council voting is treated separately: the mayor normally votes only to break a tie. Committee participation can create a different voting record.
