Data quality notes
- The September 28 meeting has an agenda but no minutes posted yet; the October 26 agenda is posted for an upcoming meeting. Oct 12/13 meeting not listed.
- No separate committee or work session minutes appear on the Select Board minutes list. No Planning Board/ZBA/other committee agendas fetched.
- No meeting videos found, so there are no transcripts or timing data.
- Minutes contain apparent typos (for example a 1:15 AM footer on the September 1 special meeting, "Troy" for Truro, an 1,617 versus 1,607 gallon discrepancy); each is noted on the Meeting page. The Select Board has not yet approved the August 24 minutes, which the Clerk asked to expand.
- Times/location from agendas; Oct 26 room name blank in PDF text.
