Data quality notes

• Minutes rebuild (2026-10-27): official minutes are on a documents-on-demand portal behind a bot check and could not be retrieved; no other official verbatim source found.

• The documents portal is not currently readable, so Town Council, Board of Education and Board of Finance agendas and minutes are missing. Those agenda pages say so.

• Council items reported only by a third-party summary of the 2026-10-13 meeting (a federal firefighter staffing grant vote, a West Street sewer main arrangement, the Marion Avenue bridge bid) are not confirmed and have no Issue pages yet; they will be built from the Council video.

• Superintendent of schools not found; no Water Pollution Control Authority board found (nearest: Sewer Committee).

• No videos found for the Zoning Board of Appeals, Library Board or sewer bodies.

• Party labels are intentionally not recorded.
