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.
City lobbying rules expressly reach attempts to influence zoning and regulated real-property decisions. A registration is a disclosure record, not evidence that a vote was improper.

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.
