Where the data comes from

• City website: https://www.atlantaga.gov/
• Agendas and meeting calendar: https://atlantacityga.iqm2.com/Citizens/Calendar.aspx
• Official Council minutes: https://citycouncil.atlantaga.gov/legislation/city-council-meeting-minutes (action minutes are also posted as documents on the iQM2 portal)
• Meeting video: Channel 26 council meeting page, https://www.atlantaga.gov/government/channel-26/council-meetings; the minutes point there for statements by elected officials, public remarks and general remarks.
• Issues, meeting pages and people were rebuilt on 2026-10-24 from the full action minutes of the City Council regular meetings of September 21, October 5 and October 19, 2026 (the October 19 minutes are marked DRAFT).

Data quality notes

• The minutes are action minutes: motions, movers, seconders and roll call votes, but no summary of debate, no public comment and no speaker positions. Debate and public remarks are available only on the Channel 26 video, which has not been transcribed.
• Several vote tallies in the minutes disagree with their own narrative (for example the detention center sale heading and a short-term rental amendment recorded both as "failed" and "adopted 7 to 6"); the issue pages follow the narrative and flag the conflict.
• Committee meetings (Public Safety and Legal Administration, Zoning, City Utilities, Community Development/Human Services, Transportation, Finance/Executive, Committee on Council) have no posted minutes in this record; their activity appears only through the Council minutes.
• The existing committee pages for October 12 were built from posted agendas; the Council minutes show the rezonings listed there (Z-26-53, Z-26-55, Z-26-56) were first read on October 19 and sent to the Zoning Committee for October 26, so those agenda dates should be rechecked.
• Mayor: Andre Dickens (named in the minutes as the appointing authority). Council President: Marci Collier Overstreet (absent October 19, when Andrea L. Boone presided as Pro Tem).
• Individual claimants, rezoning owners and applicants, and retired employees named in legislation are deliberately not named on these pages.
