CITY COUNCIL & HOUSING DECISION FILE
Where housing power becomes a record.
This maps formal authority and public access. It does not assign the council sole responsibility for housing supply or infer motive from a vote, meeting, contribution, or lobbying registration.
Advisory and binding stages must remain labeled separately.
Indiana state lobbying records do not automatically describe municipal lobbying. The ledger must verify jurisdiction before displaying a city-level connection.

STATUS IS THE HEADLINE
One matter. Every procedural turn.
A person can be connected to multiple matters. Each matter keeps its own forum, case number, allegations, findings, outcome, and appeal history.

A complaint is an allegation. A charge is an allegation in court. An audit finding is an oversight conclusion. An ethics violation is an administrative outcome. Only a guilty plea or conviction is labeled as a criminal finding—and appeals or vacatur remain visible.
