 "scope": "What the official Altoona City Council minutes document about who else was present, beyond Council members, the mayor, and City officials and staff: how many people the minutes name under \"Audience Present,\" and how many people the minutes record speaking during the public-comment slot. Counts are of names printed, not a headcount, unless the minutes print one (none do, as of this feed's last build).",
 "caveats": "The minutes record attendance inconsistently. A meeting with no \"Audience Present\" line, or whose minutes are not on this site yet, is marked as a gap (`documented: false`, with a `gap_reason`); it is not evidence that no one attended. During the GoToMeeting/Zoom era (April 2020-May 2021) an in-person audience count of zero does not include online participants, who are counted separately if the minutes record them speaking. Anyone the minutes name as an official, consultant, or staff member is excluded from the audience count. Individual audience members' and organizations' names are never published here; only counts are.",

These are allegations as entered in the minutes; the minutes record no response, and no finding on them is known to this site.",
