How to read this page

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.
