Where the data comes from

Governing body

  • Council-manager government: Mayor Becky Daggett, Vice Mayor Miranda Sweet and Councilmembers Austin Aslan, Khara House, Lori Matthews, David Spence and Moses Milazzo. Councilmember Anthony Garcia is on the September 8 roll call but not on the September 28 roster; the documents read do not state why, or how the seat was filled.
  • City Manager Joanne Keene; City Attorney Sterling Solomon; Assistant City Manager Shannon Anderson; Deputy City Manager Mary Goodman. Department directors have pages under People.
  • Planning and Zoning Commission (second and fourth Wednesdays, 4 PM): Chair Carole Mandino, Vice Chair Mary Norton, Joshua Maher, Christine Sheehy, CJ Lucke and Rebecca Coppa. The web page says seven members; only six appear on roll calls.
  • Other bodies with meeting pages: Heritage Preservation, Housing, Water, Parks and Recreation, Open Spaces, Beautification and Public Art, Sustainability, Inclusion and Adaptive Living, Tourism, Indigenous, Airport, Library, Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory, the Flagstaff Housing Authority Board and the PSPRS Fire local board.

Data quality notes

  • Agendas were read as item lists; staff reports and the packet PDFs were not opened. Minutes were read for roughly thirty meetings (motions, votes, attendance); they are posted unsigned and the portal shows no approval status, so they are treated as drafts.
  • Council minutes are mostly not posted (only executive session minutes and the September 8 work session), so Council votes are largely unknown. The October 28 Planning and Zoning minutes record no motions or votes, and the September 23 4-1 vote does not name the dissenter.
  • A Council member change is visible in the rosters but the reason is not stated, and the swearing-in item on October 20 does not name the person; nothing is asserted beyond the rosters.
  • Some vote counts exceed the members shown present (Beautification and Public Art September 14, Inclusion and Adaptive Living September 23); these are flagged on the pages.
  • The Board of Adjustment, Transportation Commission regular meetings, Floodplain Board and Personnel Board have no portal entries for September to December; a Transportation Commission special meeting on November 4 has video only.
  • The Airport, Library and Transportation rosters and the PSPRS local board roster were not captured; the City's board roster dashboard could not be read.
  • Meeting pages cover 2026-09-01 through 2026-11-26; none is posted for December 1 to 3. Executive sessions appear as process-level pages only.
