MEETINGS WE'VE SEEN
Part of our process in making City Council Meeting has been to see local government meetings in various cities, especially the cities in which we are presenting the project. Even if actual transcriptions from the meeting itself don't make it in, the simple act of being in the room helps us know how to frame what we're doing.

(The conversation about drainage happens about 10 minutes into item 1).
