Where the data comes from
- City website: https://www.kcmo.gov
- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://kansascity.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx
- Official minutes (Legistar), read in full 2026-10-24: City Council October 22, October 8 and October 1, 2026, and Finance, Governance and Public Safety Committee September 8, 2026. Links are on each Issue page.
- Meeting video: Not obtained. Legistar lists EventVideoPath as empty for the 2026 events; the official YouTube channel could not be verified.
Data quality notes
- The minutes record motions, votes by member and amounts, but not debate or member statements, and public testimony is listed only as attachments. Issue pages therefore show actions, not arguments.
- Ordinance 260889 (stadium bonds): the minutes print the Section 17 amendment as "carried" although the recorded vote was 1 aye and 11 nay; outcome unclear.
- Minutes for the Transportation, Infrastructure and Operations, Neighborhood Planning and Development, and Finance committees for October 6 and October 20, and Council minutes for September 10 and 24, were not in the set read. Items first read on October 1, 8 and 22 may have later outcomes not recorded here (for example Aviation Worker Screening Contract, Housing Development Corporation Parcel Transfers, Tax Increment Financing Plan Terminations).
- Routine consent items (plats, small grants, ceremonial resolutions) are not given Issue pages.
- Clerk and City Manager names are not captured; officials come from roll calls and docket sponsors.
- Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Adjustment minutes were not read.
