Where the data comes from
- City website: https://bouldercolorado.gov/
- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://bouldercolorado.primegov.com/public/portal
- Meeting video: https://www.youtube.com/user/bouldercoloradogov (city YouTube; also Comcast channels 8/880)
- Officials, agendas and video lists were collected from these official sources on 2026-10-22; meeting content comes from the transcripts as they are processed.
Data quality notes
- No City Council videos found on the YouTube channel for Sep 22-Oct 22 2026 (latest council videos listed were from March-April 2026), so only Planning Board / advisory board videos are listed.
- Planning Board, BZA and other boards' agendas are not on OneMeeting (PrimeGov) listing, so no meetings for them are included.
- Sep 24 study session topics not read.
- Nov 12/19 agendas not yet posted.
- Meeting links use PrimeGov meetingTemplateId pages.
- Rebuilt 2026-10-24 from the full text of the City Council minutes for May 21, June 4 (special, joint with Planning Board) and June 18, 2026. Minutes archive: https://documents.bouldercolorado.gov/WebLink/Browse.aspx?id=10888&dbid=0&repo=LF8PROD2.
- The newest posted minutes are June 18, 2026. Council meetings from July to October 2026 (including October 1 and 15) have agendas only, and study session minutes are not posted in the Signed Minutes folder; those pages are agenda-based.
- Minutes list public speakers by topic only, so positions are not recorded. The May 21 minutes record both "APPROVED 9:0" and a nay by Wallach on Ordinance 8745.
