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.

Authorize borrowing for affordable housing construction

Council gave final reading to Bylaw 11B2025, the affordable housing construction borrowing authority initially presented with the Calgary Housing financing package.

Outcome: The final reading carried unanimously. Borrowing authority permits financing; it does not show that all authorized funds were drawn or homes completed.

Allocate $10 million for a Ward 4 mixed-income housing acquisition

Council provided a Housing Land Fund contribution toward Calgary Housing's acquisition of a private-sector-built apartment building for up to 176 permanent mixed-income homes in Ward 4.

Outcome: The confirmed minutes record 15 Yes votes. Funding approval does not establish a closed acquisition or completed and occupied homes.
