About

The council’s record

Every roll call the Chico City Council took since November 2008: 3,116 votes from 454 sets of minutes, with the full text of the minutes to search. What was moved, the outcome, and who voted how, as the clerk wrote it, each linked to the City’s own minutes. History, not a scorecard.

The record runs from Nov 18, 2008 to Sep 1, 2026. Nothing newer is read: the City’s meeting portal (chico-ca.granicus.com) asks crawlers not to visit, and we respect that. For later meetings, see the City’s own archive.

The minutes

Read from the City’s minutes, every era of them (scanned ones by OCR), by matching each motion with the “AYES / NOES / ABSENT” lines below it and each name against that meeting’s roll call. A name the parser couldn’t match is left out, not guessed. The consent calendar (one vote adopting many routine items) is its own topic. Read the motion before drawing a conclusion: a “no” can be a vote against an amendment, not the policy.
