Data quality notes

• City Council minutes were read for the regular meetings of 2026-09-01 through 2026-10-27, by headings, titles, motions and votes rather than word by word. Earlier minutes were confirmed approved by the next meeting's minutes. The 2026-10-27 minutes were posted 2026-11-04 and their approval is unconfirmed, so treat them as draft. The 2026-11-03 meeting is summarized from its agenda only.
• Council meetings on 2026-11-10, 11-17, 11-24 and 12-01 are scheduled with no files yet.
• Planning Commission results agendas were read for 2026-09-17 and 2026-10-15 (later items only partly) and the 2026-11-19 agenda; no Planning Commission minutes are posted for September or October. Board of Zoning Adjustment results were read for 2026-09-14 and 2026-10-01 and the agenda for 2026-11-05; the 2026-12-03 agenda is not posted.
• Not read: committee and Pre-Council content (video only), agenda packets, Council outcomes for the de-annexation ordinances, TIF district resolutions and final budget total, and the schedules of the Tree Commission, Architectural Review Board and Mobile Historic Development Commission.
• The roster's Council officer and committee titles come from a city page that looks out of date; treat them as uncertain.
• Meeting pages begin with 2026-09-01. Video dates are taken from video titles.
