Only reviewed policy choices are scored. Each independent decision family counts once per measure; choices within one budget or policy package share that family’s weight. statements, promises, absences and contextual amendments do not contribute. Two decisions are the minimum for a position. The sensitivity range shows the score after removing one decision at a time; it is not a statistical confidence interval or a prediction.

Decisions and alternatives

Require forestry reporting and consider future tree-program funding

Council received the tree-equity program update, required annual forestry metrics and directed consideration of future capital funding tied to canopy targets and federal tree-program obligations.

Outcome: Council adopted the directions unanimously. The motion required consideration of 2027–2030 capital funding; it did not approve that funding or prove that canopy targets were reached.

Reduce Climate and Environment one-time operating spending

A 2026 budget amendment proposed removing $9 million in one-time Climate and Environment operating expenditures from the Planning and Development Services budget.

Outcome: Council adopted the reduction. This amendment changes a specified operating allocation; it does not rescind every climate policy or establish a measured emissions impact.

Statements and reasons for votes

No sourced statements collected

This is a gap in the collected evidence; it does not establish a person’s views.

These are attributed statements, separate from voting scores. Date filters exclude undated sources.

Promises and actions

No sourced commitments collected

A missing commitment is not a finding that someone made no promises.

Commitments and their sourced milestones are shown across their full lifecycle, independently of the vote-date filter.
