• Planning Board agendas and minutes: the City's Planning Board page, https://www.cityofbathmaine.gov/Government/Boards-Committees/Planning-Board
• Meeting video: BCTV Channel 14 on demand, https://cloud.castus.tv/vod/bath/?page=HOME; the City page https://www.cityofbathmaine.gov/Government/Stream-Meetings embeds the "Bath City Council 2026" and "Bath Planning Board 2026" playlists
• Collected 2026-11-12 (added at Dewey's request).

Data quality notes

• Agendas and minutes are on TownCloud and the City site; the minutes of 2026-11-04 and later are not yet posted, and the Planning Board minutes of 2026-10-06 are drafts.
• The YouTube channel @CityofBathMaineBCTV has no videos since 2026-09-01. Meeting video is on the City's Castus video-on-demand service; meeting pages link its home page and name the video title. Direct video links and captions were not checked, so no transcripts exist.
• The City's staff and board rosters are partly stale or inconsistent (for example, the Planning Board web roster differs from the minutes, and the Codes Enforcement Officer differs between the Zoning Board page and a Council agenda). Only clearly stated officials are named.
• The Planning Director is not named on the City's page. The RSU 1 School Board is a separate body and is not covered.
• Only page 1 of the meeting calendar was read. The Council's regular and special meetings on 2026-12-02 and the Planning Board's on 2026-12-01 are calendar listings with no agenda yet.
• Some agenda item numbers in the source contain typos; figures that were unclear are left out.
