This record contradicts itself

The votes recorded below don't match the tally the clerk wrote in the description. Both come from the City; neither has been changed here.

  • The description says 12 voted yes; the record lists 13.

This record may list an older Council

It lists Bok, Campbell, Edwards, Essaibi-George, Janey, O'Malley and Wu, who appear in fewer than half of the roll calls in the three months before and after it. Records like this seem to reuse a previous Council's roster. The votes are shown as the City published them, but left out of those councillors' voting records here.
