Where the data comes from
- City website: https://www.city.waltham.ma.us
- Agendas and minutes: https://www.city.waltham.ma.us/agendacenter (Agenda Center)
- City Council page: https://www.city.waltham.ma.us/1341/City-Council; Mayor's Office: https://www.city.waltham.ma.us/1714/Mayors-Office
- Meeting video: the City Council page says meetings are live-streamed on MAC-TV; no current video source has been found. The city's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@thecityofwalthamma5775) has no uploads after February 2026, so no meetings have transcripts.
Data quality notes
- No current meeting video or transcript source was found.
- The School Committee roster and the chairs of the Board of Survey and Planning and the Zoning Board of Appeals have not been found.
- Only the Agenda Center listing was read; the docket contents have not.
- Historical Commission agenda (November 9) is an image-only PDF and has not been read; the Disability Services Commission agenda (November 6) is a legacy Word document that has not been read, and its posting appears mislabeled.
- The calendar was not paged into December.
