Does it tell me what was decided, or just what was proposed?

The tool draws a hard line between what was proposed — in agendas and officer reports — and what was actually decided. Nothing counts as a real decision until the meeting's minutes are published.

So for an upcoming or in-progress meeting, it will say the council *will consider* something rather than claiming it already happened. It won't tell you a plan was adopted or a motion carried unless the minutes say so.

This keeps a recommendation on paper from being mistaken for a settled outcome.
