Council voting records

Compiled automatically from the 47 meeting(s) the Recap has covered so far - the numbers grow with every issue. Unanimous votes count every member present as a "for" vote. "Dissent rate" is the share of recorded votes cast against. Attendance is scored across the 47 meeting(s) we can account for - 28 from the county's official minutes and 19 estimated from the meeting video (counted present unless the video records them being excused). See a mistake? Tell us and we'll correct it.

PRESENT = confirmed by the county's written roll, or by the video recording them vote, move, abstain, check in, or speak. ABSENT = excused on the record, or never recorded taking part. For 1 of these, the meeting video never records Connell taking part, so they are counted absent by default (the official minutes are the final word).
