Agenda text, item numbers, recorded tallies, and the city's own wording for what happened are mirrored from the City of St. Petersburg's published agenda and action-taken documents, and are not written by us. Values with a dotted underline are ours: we derived them, and each links to the methodology that defines it. Nothing on this page is machine-written prose.
