Commentary

This is where meeting write-ups and commentary will live. After each council meeting, we publish a summary covering what was on the agenda, what was discussed, how councillors voted, and our take on what it means.

The Format

Each post follows the same structure:

• Meeting date and type (regular council, committee of the whole, planning, etc.)
• Agenda highlights covering the items that matter, not the procedural rubber-stamping
• What happened in plain language, including how votes went and who said what
• Commentary from us on whether the decisions make sense, whether the process was reasonable, and whether anything smells off

We are not trying to be comprehensive minutes. The official minutes exist for that. We are trying to be the version of "what happened at council" that a busy resident can read in five minutes and actually understand.
