Data quality notes

• Refresh 2026-11-11: the November 9 City Council and November 4 Alcohol, Gambling and Tobacco Commission pages now use their final minutes. Meeting video is not on YouTube; the city links a separate meeting-video service and a live-meeting page (https://duluthmn.gov/live-meeting/), which were not checked, so no video links are recorded. Other November agendas were not read; agenda sessions on 2026-11-19, 2026-12-03 and 2026-12-10 are on the city schedule.
• Only the four City Council minutes (2026-09-14, 2026-09-28, 2026-10-13 and 2026-10-26) were read. All other meetings are listed from the City's portal only: their agendas and minutes were not read and outcomes are unknown.
• The Council met on a Tuesday on 2026-10-13 and the Planning Commission on a Thursday on 2026-10-15; the reasons are not known.
• No Council or Planning Commission video was found on the City's YouTube channel.
• Meeting pages begin with 2026-09-01. No meetings dated 2026-11-11 through 2026-12-03 were listed yet.
