Official minutes ↗EDITORIAL SELECTION · REMARKS FROM ACROSS THE 2025 RECORD
Paraphrase
Anyone proposing lower 2025 property taxes should identify what would be cut from the already approved budget.
Smith framed the mill-rate debate around the budget's planned $2.7 million increase in tax revenue and asked which projects, staffing or programs opponents would remove.

Official minutes ↗Paraphrase
Standing committees give the public a route into decisions, but some discussions become derailed and ineffective; targeted town halls could help.

This section does not treat moving or seconding a motion as a vote. Reconstructed support from reviewed unanimous results is labelled in the section above. “Absent,” “Conflict,” “Abstained” and “Not in office” are kept separate.
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.
