• Town Council schedule: https://www.killinglyct.gov/town_council/meeting_dates_and_information.php
• Agendas and minutes portal: http://killinglytownct.documents-on-demand.com/ (every board page links here; it could not be opened, so official agendas and minutes have not been read)
• Planning and Zoning Commission applicant packets: a public Dropbox folder linked from the Planning and Zoning Commission page (currently the Ryan Companies "Husky" materials)
• Board of Education: https://www.killinglyschools.org/about-us/board-of-education-2 (agendas and minutes are PDFs; the Board has its own site and calendar)
• Meeting video: the Town of Killingly YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUT8mByfPfMQAqR9Q8-PiSg. Meetings from mid-2026 are on the channel's Streams tab, not under Videos. Titles follow "Special Town Council 09-01-26" or "Planning & Zoning 9/21/2026".

Data quality notes

• Almost every summary comes from YouTube auto-generated captions, not official minutes. Names, numbers and tallies are approximate; voice votes are not tallied.
• The agendas and minutes portal could not be opened, so no official agenda or minutes has been read for any town board. The October and November agendas for the Town Council, Zoning Board of Appeals, Planning and Zoning Commission and Council special meeting are not read.
• The Board of Education roster and video were not found; its 2026-10-14 agenda was read and the linked minutes were not.
• Meetings from 2026-09-01 have pages. Earlier uploads exist back to April 2026 and have not been built.
• No video or confirmed meeting was found for the Zoning Board of Appeals (2026-10-08), Water Pollution Control Authority (2026-10-21), Conservation Commission (2026-10-21), Public Safety Commission (2026-10-27) or Board of Recreation in October, so they have no pages.
