CORRECTED FINDING
The attendance report is not a complete meeting list
Two Q1 meetings are confirmed as held but absent from the City’s attendance grid: Public Safety on January 22 and Governance and Priorities on February 3. Both have official motion registries and minutes.
The February 24 council entry is different. The City page supplies an agenda, but no motion registry, minutes or audio, and the next held council meeting is also numbered #03. The responsible conclusion is not confirmed held, not “omitted meeting.” The Q1 grid also counts workshops on January 13 and March 31 that are not separately displayed in the archive list reviewed.

“Counted” means the event appears in a City quarterly attendance grid. “Held · omitted” requires minutes or another official record proving the meeting occurred. An agenda alone is treated as a scheduled event, not proof of attendance.
MAJOR MONEY DECISIONS INDEXED SO FAR

Amounts are not automatically added together: applications, budget amendments and contract awards are different legal and financial events and may overlap.
MEMBERSHIP CHANGED
The denominator cannot stay fixed
Councillor Samuel Tilley resigned March 10. His attendance denominator ends with the March 3 meeting shown in the City’s Q1 grid. Kuthula Matshazi was sworn in July 28. A fair year-to-date percentage must count only meetings for which each person held office.
UPDATED · PARTICIPATION
129+ questions are documented and that is still a floor
Twenty-three sets of official minutes plus the complete May 26, June 16, June 23, August 18 and August 25 recordings have now been checked. May 26 confirmed the same ten substantive questions summarized in its minutes; June 16 confirmed the same eight. June 23 added four questions or requests beyond the five summarized in its minutes. Across the five recordings, the timestamped ledger contains thirty-seven entries. Routine chair prompts and comments without a question are not counted.
