Not yet confirmed against a primary source

  • The deadline stated in the actual resolution text: cbsnews.com and trains.com report 'Jan. 26, 2027,' while atlanta.urbanize.city reports 'end of January 2027' and ajc.com reports 'January 2027' without a date. Confirm which deadline appears in the official resolution.
  • The vote tally: cbsnews.com and atlanta.urbanize.city both report 14-0, but no other outlet provides this specific count in the provided text. Confirm this figure against the official council record.
  • Whether a 'Poll' was actually conducted: atlanta.urbanize.city's headline references a 'Poll,' but the provided body excerpt does not describe polling methodology, sample, or results. Confirm whether this is a news-reporting lapse or whether body text missing from this extraction contains polling information.
