Where the data comes from
- City website: https://www.nantucket-ma.gov/
- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://nantucketma.portal.civicclerk.com/
- Meeting video: https://www.youtube.com/@townofnantucket (official Town of Nantucket YouTube channel)
- Officials, agendas and video lists were collected from these official sources on 2026-10-22; meeting content comes from the transcripts as they are processed.
Data quality notes
- Agenda text read only for Oct 7 Select Board; other meetings list portal links without item summaries.
- Portal (CivicClerk API) lists few meetings after Oct 21, so Oct 22-Nov 21 coverage is thin (e.g.
- Planning & Economic Development Commission Oct 26 not included; Town Meeting not scheduled in window).
- Meeting times taken from portal API, assumed local.
- Select Board 'Oct 28' stream exists in titles but is after today so omitted.
- Town Select Board page didn't mention Erika Mooney (signs agendas); omitted.
- Zoning/Planning Oct dates beyond Oct 19 not found.
- Refresh of 2026-11-09: agendas read for meetings through November 10; no minutes posted for any recent meeting; YouTube ids missing for most meetings; agendas for the Board of Registrars (Nov 6) and Affordable Housing Trust (Nov 9) could not be read. Historic District Commission and Land Bank Commission (Nov 10), Water Commissioners (Nov 12) and Conservation Commission (Nov 19) are on the town calendar without posted agendas. Nothing posted yet for Nov 20 to Dec 9.
