Where the data comes from

• Town website: https://www.kitteryme.gov (Town of Kittery, York County, Maine; CivicEngage site). Agenda Center: https://www.kitteryme.gov/AgendaCenter (agendas, packets and minutes for all boards; pre-2025 records are in the Document Center). Calendar: https://www.kitteryme.gov/calendar.aspx?CID=14. Town code: https://ecode360.com/KI3028.
• Meeting video: Kittery Channel 22 (Comcast channel 22, live stream on the Town's Channel 22 page), the Town Hall Streams archive https://townhallstreams.com/towns/kittery_maine, and the Facebook page "Kittery Channel 22". There is no official Town YouTube channel, so meeting pages carry captions: not-on-youtube where a streaming archive link is given and no YouTube transcripts exist.
• Collected 2026-11-12.

Governing body

• Seven-member Town Council, meeting Mondays and some Wednesdays at 6 PM in Council Chambers and on Zoom. Public comment email: [email protected].

Data quality notes

• The Council roster is partial and possibly out of date after the 11/3 election: only clearly stated officials are named, other councilors appear in older minutes by surname only and are not listed, and the current Chair and Vice Chair are unknown (election on the 11/9 agenda; 11/9 minutes not posted).
• The Planning Director, DPW Director and Town Attorney were not found, and board member rosters were not collected.
• Few minutes are posted: Port Authority 9/3 and 10/1 only; Planning Board minutes for 9/24 and 10/8 are attachments to the 11/12 packet. No votes or outcomes are recorded for most meetings.
• Council, Planning Board, Port Authority and Appeals agendas were read at item or document-title level only; the other boards' agendas are posted for some dates but not read.
• Video is not on YouTube; recordings were not watched or transcribed. The Town Hall Streams archive lists the Council 9/28 and 10/26 (regular and special) and Board of Assessment Review 9/30 meetings; other meetings were not checked.
• The Planning Board meeting of 9/10 and the Board of Appeals meeting of 11/10 were cancelled and have no page. The 12/28 Council meeting is on the calendar but proposed for cancellation on 11/9; it has no page.
• Meeting pages begin with 2026-09-01.
