The Richmond Monitor Keeps Watch on City Hall
A civic pamphlet for Richmond, California, assembling unsigned notes on elections, public meetings, commissions, and local records.
Field notes
The publication separates “The Record,” a set of unsigned notes, from “Publius,” an essay series, and gives each record title its own linked leaf. Its notes cite municipal agenda archives and election pages while preserving important limits: for example, a missing Planning Commission packet is not treated as proof of cancellation. One election item records proposed police staffing of at least 187 full-time-equivalent sworn positions and escalating proposed fund allocations of 25%, 40%, and 50%.
