Council Clarity turns each city meeting into a checkable record: every question captured verbatim, restated in plain language, answered from the city’s own documents, and timestamped back to the tape.
It is the first instrument of a larger machine — a catalog of every public record about this town, a live indicators database, a zoning watch, and a mapping engine — all pointed at the same question: what does the record actually say?
Who publishes it, how current it is, where to get it — and the records that should be public but aren’t, listed in red until they are.
The city’s zoning code is published; the map is not. A live map of what is public — city limits, flood zones — and a layer armed for the day the map is released.
A full-screen map console — limits, flood, utilities, parcels, code cases, historic district. Layers go live one by one as verified sources land.
One open database of the monthly numbers that matter, queryable as JSON or CSV. Every value keeps its source URL and retrieval date; every revision is logged, never erased.
