POWER & OVERSIGHT MAP / STRUCTURE FIRST

Understand the system before the cases.

This first model shows the relationships the ledger will document. It does not imply that an oversight body controls the officials or institutions it reviews.

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.

LEGISLATIVE BODYMacon–Bibb County Commission

The consolidated Commission enacts ordinances, budgets, housing programs, infrastructure priorities, and public-asset decisions. The separate Macon–Bibb Planning and Zoning Commission administers land-development rules and decides defined zoning applications.

PUBLIC DECISION PATHPlanning and Zoning application or policy review → public hearing and agency action → Macon–Bibb Commission when legislation, funding, appointment, or public assets require it → administrative or judicial review.

Advisory and binding stages must remain labeled separately.

LOBBYING ACCESSState disclosure path

Georgia disclosure systems cover state and local candidates and lobbyists, but a state filing alone does not prove advocacy on a Macon–Bibb matter. The specific filer, jurisdiction, subject, and decision must match.

SOURCE READINESS

What this city can support.

An unavailable lens remains visibly unavailable. It never becomes a zero, an exoneration, or proof that no matter exists.

NEXT BUILDABLE SLICE

City ingestion plan.

Create a matter register from public ethics filings and final Commission records, then join Georgia campaign reports and audit follow-through without treating a complaint as a violation.

RAW DOCUMENT → ARCHIVED SNAPSHOT → HUMAN REVIEW → PUBLISHED MATTER TIMELINE

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.

01Public filingComplaint, audit, referral, or charging document
02ReviewJurisdiction, legal sufficiency, probable cause, or investigation
03DecisionDismissal, no violation, settlement, plea, verdict, or final order
04AftermathSanction, sentence, appeal, reversal, corrective action, or closure

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.
