Data quality notes

• Agenda PDFs are scanned images read by optical character recognition; item numbers and spellings (especially Nov 5 items 26-105 to 26-110) should be checked against the PDFs.
• Minutes of the 2026-11-05 Select Board meeting are not yet posted, so its outcomes are unknown. The 2026-08-06 minutes have no link on the town's listing.
• The Nov 3 election results were not found. Ryan Holmes's re-election and Gilbert Rogers's result are unconfirmed, and the posted Select Board roster may be partly updated.
• Only Select Board and Planning Board meeting dates were verified in detail; other boards' dates come from their stated schedules.
• Meeting pages begin with 2026-09-01.
