Where the data comes from

• City website: https://www.rockvillemd.gov/ (City of Rockville, Montgomery County, Maryland)
• Agendas, minutes and video hub: https://www.rockvillemd.gov/services/meeting-agendas-minutes-and-videos/, which embeds the city's Legistar calendar (https://rockvillemd.legistar.com/). The HTML calendar is the primary record; the Legistar data feed omits some meetings the calendar shows.
• Meeting video: Granicus clips (https://rockvillemd.granicus.com/) for the Mayor and Council, Planning Commission, Board of Appeals, Historic District Commission and Youth Commission, and three Webex recordings (Board of Supervisors of Elections twice, Leadership Planning once). The city's YouTube channel has no full meeting videos, so all videos are marked as not on YouTube.
• Collected 2026-11-04 (added at Dewey's request).
