Freddy Puza • exact votes + unresolved actions
A public-safety vote ledger that keeps “Council acted” separate from “Puza voted.”
Individual Puza votes are listed only when an official Culver City or Legistar source identifies the roll call. Consent items, presentations and Council directions without an attributable individual vote are listed separately.
Verified Puza roll calls
The list is chronological and intentionally descriptive. A vote against a procurement is not automatically characterized as opposition to policing, and a vote for a full City budget is not treated as a separate vote for every Police, Fire or Mobile Crisis line item.

2025 deserves its own view
The prior page largely jumped from 2024 to 2026. Official 2025 records show a more active public-safety year: Police and Fire mutual-aid reporting, ALPR restrictions, Police-subcommittee restructuring, Fire risk zoning, Fire-station infrastructure, arrestee medical services and the annual budget.
Exact Puza roll call recovered so far: June 9, 2025 full City budget — Puza Aye, motion passed 3–2. Because it was the full budget, it is not recorded as separate Police or Fire line-item votes.
On July 9, the Council suspended outside-agency sharing of CCPD Flock ALPR data, required recurring public reporting, directed additional Police and Fire mutual-aid reporting, and moved the Police Policies Subcommittee into a standing structure. The official summary describes the Council actions but does not identify the individual votes, so this ledger does not assign those actions to Puza as roll calls.
On June 23, the Council approved updated Fire Hazard Severity Zones after a CCFD recommendation and approved a five-year agreement for arrestee medical clearances and the Police Department's Naloxone/Narcan program. Again, the official summary does not expose the individual roll call for those actions.
Official public-safety actions without an attributable Puza roll call
These belong in the research record because they affected Police, Fire or resident emergency response. They do not belong in a Puza vote tally until an attributable parent consent vote or item-level roll call is recovered.

What still needs exact-vote recovery
The highest-value missing row is File 23-907, the May 8, 2023 Flock contract. The approved-minutes link remains visible on the official meeting page, but the legacy file currently returns unavailable through the public endpoint. The next recovery route is the underlying matter/history/event-item data and, where necessary, the meeting video.
After that: parent consent-calendar votes for Police/Fire facility and equipment actions; annual Police/Fire staffing and budget decisions; 2025 ALPR/mutual-aid/subcommittee votes; Fire apparatus and station infrastructure; and additional MCT appropriations and dispatch decisions.
