*** PLEASE NOTE***

Because the city's new recording system does not allow us to see the vote, we are unable to claim 100% accuracy in our recording of each councillor's vote. Where we do indicate the vote breakdown, it is now based on how each councillor spoke to an issue during discussion or in media, and what votes our volunteers were able to see and record in the moment. Please share any errors with us and we will be happy to correct.

(We have made a request of City Hall to show the full council during votes, and have met with resistance so far.)
