An artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of the 130 ordinance bills proposed and passed by council members over the past four years revealed that the main focus of legislative activity was on addressing welfare blind spots and establishing disaster safety nets.

By subject, welfare accounted for 41 bills (31.5%), the highest number, followed by safety with 26 bills (20%).
