- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://jacksonms.gov/government/city-council/council-agendas-and-minutes/
- Meeting video: City Council Videos page https://jacksonms.gov/government/city-council/city-council-videos/ loaded but no video links or YouTube channel were visible to automated requests.
- Official City Council minutes for December 2, December 19 (special) and December 30, 2025 (PDFs on jacksonms.gov); the Issue and Meeting pages for those dates are built from them.

Data quality notes
- No meeting schedule data for Nov 2026 or planning commission/zoning board retrieved (schedule page content not rendered to automated requests).
- Oct 22 committee agenda not read.
- Time 6:00 PM from the agendas page; no council videos found.
- Oct 6 meeting is before the window.
- Minutes for the December 15 (zoning) and December 16, 2025 meetings were not available; only their approval is recorded.
- Minutes records contain OCR and vote-list inconsistencies (December 2 consent amendment, December 19 roll against the vote list, December 30 tennis agreement); these are noted on the pages rather than corrected.
- The COVID-19 local emergency discussion has no news check.
- Council member for Ward 2 appears as Tina Clay on the city website and Montyne Clay in the minutes; verify.
