03 — The busiest night at the mic · Oct 8, 2026

15

15 members of the public spoke on October 8, 2026, one of the busiest nights we counted at this board.

Counted from the meeting video, never named or shown, at the 7 of the board's 7 past-year meetings we could count; 2 had a public speaker. Our count was within one person at 70 of 70 meetings we checked by a full read.

04 — Where the time went

at least 0%

Budget and finance took at least 0% of the board's meeting time (our count, 6%). At the typical board we timed, 10%.

Measured on its own set: the 7 board meetings we timed from their transcripts, Aug 18, 2026 to Oct 8, 2026 (a date we have not confirmed shows as —). Two AI readers split each meeting into topics and a stretch counts only where both agree, so every share is a floor.
