Where the data comes from
- City website: https://coloradosprings.gov
- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://coloradosprings.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx
- Meeting video: Granicus archive only (https://coloradosprings.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=1), also linked from Legistar; no official YouTube channel found at the tried handle (SpringsTV/Facebook per the council page).
- 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 official YouTube channel found; video only via Granicus.
- Mayor's name not verified on a fetched official page and omitted.
- Council members listed only where named on agendas (page photo caption lists 9 names without roles).
- Legistar calendar page 1 only; no meetings after 10/29 listed.
- Oct 8, 12, 15 agenda items not reviewed.
- Minutes from Legistar added for 2026-09-21, 2026-09-22 and the 2026-10-16 liquor hearings; council members' districts are stated only where the minutes give them. Later 2026 council minutes were still draft when collected. Minutes added for the 2026-09-08 and 2026-09-21 City Council work sessions (the 09-21 one carries Legistar status Revised) and the 2026-09-18 liquor hearings; the council minutes name some presenters by surname or title only, so first names appear only where the record gives them.
- City main site redirected (301) but loaded via coloradosprings.gov/city-council.
- Minutes added for the 2026-08-24 (special), 2026-08-25 (Legistar status Revised) and 2026-09-08 City Council meetings. The September 8 minutes list the Buckingham Drive rezoning as 8-2-0-0 with seven ayes named, and show it at second reading although the August 25 minutes already record final passage; the Old Colorado City DDA chair is spelled Stepan in these minutes and Stephan in the September 22 minutes.
- Minutes added for the 2026-08-24 City Council Work Session, the 2026-08-21 liquor hearings and the 2026-08-12 City Planning Commission meeting (all Legistar status Final). The Planning Commission minutes spell Mike Maylin as Malin, Commissioner Egbert as Egberht in one place and the coffee shop owner as Harrison in one place, and give the density as 13.33 in the request and 13.34 in the motion; commissioners have surname-only People pages.
- Minutes added for the 2026-08-11 City Council meeting, the 2026-08-10 City Council Work Session and the 2026-08-06 City Planning Commission Work Session (all Legistar status Final). The August 10 minutes title the July 27 work session minutes as July 27, 2027; the work session names some presenters and speakers by surname or title only, and Homeward Pikes Peak's representative has no title in the record.
- Minutes added for the 2026-06-08 City Council Work Session, the 2026-06-04 City Planning Commission Work Session and the 2026-06-01 Historic Preservation Board meeting (all Legistar status Final). The Historic Preservation Board minutes give no separate result for the two Wood Avenue cases beyond the Consent Calendar vote, and the cemetery fee resolution cites different prior resolution numbers in its title and in the minutes text.
- Minutes added for the 2026-04-27 City Council Work Session (Legistar status Final). The Chamber and EDC's Chief Operations Officer is recorded as Dani Bolling here but the September 2026 work session names its Chief Operating Officer as Dani Barger, so the two have separate People pages; the JustServe presenters have no People pages; the executive session items record only consensus polls, no closed-session content.
- Minutes added for the 2026-04-28 City Council meeting, the 2026-05-05 Historic Preservation Board meeting and the 2026-05-07 City Planning Commission Work Session (all Legistar status Final). The work session minutes record no roll call or votes and give the Austin Bluffs pump station address two ways (Marconi Heights and Stanton Road); the April 28 minutes list the April 13 work session minutes inside the April 6 special meeting item, and one citizen comment names a person and an unsupported claim that the page does not repeat; the Historic Preservation Board minutes spell one neighbor's surname two ways (McGill and McGuill).
