Council, measured in public.
A council-wide view of what entered the record, what committees considered and referred, and what reached final action, without productivity scores or inferred ideology.
Where did Council agree, and where did it split?
This view isolates deduplicated full-Council roll calls with individual member positions. “No recorded dissent” means at least one yes and no recorded no votes; it does not imply every councilor was present.
Three in four votes had no recorded dissent.
319 of 423 full-Council roll calls had yes votes and no recorded no votes. 99 recorded both yes and no.
- Divided roll calls
- 99 23% included both yes and no
- Close decisions
- 17 Margin of two votes or fewer
- More no than yes
- 10 Recorded vote balance, not inferred outcome

Who initiated matters.
Counts use the “Introduced by” field on official Council documents. Co-sponsored documents count once for each listed sponsor. Councilor names link to their public record; City officials without a Councilor profile remain labels.
What entered the record.
Unique matters grouped by the document type published by the Council Clerk.
When did the public record get busiest?
This is a workload view, not a measure of importance or productivity. It shows when matters first appeared, when committees explicitly referred matters, and when matters reached final disposition.
