Where the data comes from

• City website: https://www.augustamaine.gov
• Agendas and meeting calendar: https://www.augustamaine.gov/agendacenter
• Meeting video: https://www.youtube.com/@CityofAugusta-ME (linked from city site; newest council meeting video found was 03/12/2026, none in window)
• Officials, agendas and video lists were collected from these official sources on 2026-10-22; meeting content comes from the official minutes (rebuilt 2026-10-24) and transcripts as they are processed.
• Council minutes: https://www.augustamaine.gov/agendacenter (Minutes column).

Data quality notes

• Council issues now come from the full official minutes of the City Council business meetings of July 16, August 6 and August 20, 2026 (links on each Issue page). Work sessions, informational meetings and committee minutes were not available, and the September and October 2026 council minutes were not yet read.
• Planning Board minutes were not obtained, so the two September 22 Planning Board hearings have agenda-level detail only.
• Minutes record motions and votes but little or no debate; discussion positions are therefore thin. Where a vote count was recorded without names, the page says so.
• Routine items not given their own page: roll of accounts approvals, minutes approvals, a liquor license for a downtown restaurant, a $350 pool donation, a police forfeiture-fund share, and a city-land conveyance for road frontage.
• No council videos were found on the official YouTube channel; no meetings after October 22 are posted yet.
