Where the data comes from

Governing body

  • Council-manager government: Mayor Emily Francis, Mayor Pro Tem Julie Pignataro (District 2) and Councilmembers Chris Conway (District 1), Josh Fudge (District 3), Melanie Potyondy (District 4), Amy Hoeven (District 5) and Anne Nelsen (District 6). City Manager Kelly DiMartino, Deputy City Manager Dean Klingner, City Attorney Carrie Daggett and City Clerk Delynn Coldiron.
  • Council holds regular meetings on the first and third Tuesdays at 6:00 PM and work sessions on the second and fourth Tuesdays. Council also sits as the board of the Water Utility Enterprise Board, Urban Renewal Authority and the General Improvement Districts.
  • Quasi-judicial boards covered: the Planning and Zoning Commission, Historic Preservation Commission, Land Use Review Commission, Building Review Commission, Human Relations Commission and Water Commission. The Zoning Board of Appeals no longer exists; the Land Use Review Commission now hears variances.
  • Department heads named on People pages come from 2026 Council packets and are only partly verified.

Data quality notes

  • Council minutes (September 1, September 15, October 6) are scanned documents with minor text-recognition errors. Other Council meetings have action agendas only; the minutes of October 20 were approved November 3 but were not found posted.
  • Planning and Zoning votes for September 17 and October 15 come from unapproved draft minutes in the November 19 packet and are provisional. Historic Preservation, Building Review and most Land Use Review and Water Commission outcomes are unknown because minutes are not posted.
  • Some records are mislabeled: the CivicClerk Minutes entries for the September 8 and October 27 work sessions are staff memos, a Land Use Review Commission document titled 09/13/2026 is the August 13 minutes, and the Minutes entries for cancelled meetings (Historic Preservation 11/11, Building Review 10/29, Water Commission 10/1) are copies of cancellation notices.
  • A Planning and Zoning commissioner appearing only by surname is not given a page.
  • Meeting pages cover 2026-09-01 through 2026-12-03; pages after 2026-11-12 are scheduled placeholders. Only Council-level meetings and the Planning and Zoning, Historic Preservation, Land Use Review, Building Review, Human Relations and Water commissions are covered.
