A reading of the abundance shelf.

Every meeting item in this set has been screened for type. Substantive resolutions, ordinances, contracts, and appropriations are then mapped against three frameworks of abundanceEconomic, Civic, and Social—with a primary alignment and, where applicable, a secondary one. Drill down from the headline numbers all the way to the specific action a body took.
