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.
Commentary posts will appear here as meetings happen. The first posts will cover the next scheduled council and committee of the whole meetings. Subscribe to get them by email when they're published.
