Where the data comes from
- City website: https://dccouncil.gov
- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://lims.dccouncil.gov/hearings/
- Meeting video: Granicus archive only for meeting video: https://dc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2 (shows past 15 days). Council YouTube channel (UCXTTGvPOwbn3QSov4FaQU-w) holds interview/feature videos, not meeting recordings, and is also live-streamed.
- 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
- LIMS (lims.dccouncil.gov) returned a 525 error on automated requests, so no agendas/calendar for Oct 8-Nov 22 committee hearings or future meetings (Oct 27+, Nov); the dccouncil.gov events calendar lists none.
- Meeting entries are only those with official posts; committee hearing agendas not retrieved (videos exist for Oct 8-20 but no agenda links).
- Granicus archive shows only the last 15 days, so videos Sep 22-Oct 7 missing.
- Oct 6 date is the Legislative Requests post; item lists are from that page.
- No separate planning commission applies (Zoning Commission is not part of the Council).
- Full-council date of the 2026-10-09 outcomes post not independently matched to a video.
