Data quality notes
- Full board minutes for October 2, 9 and 16, 2026 are read in full; they are marked preliminary and may change until the board approves them. The October 23 meeting has only an agenda so far.
- Committee minutes were not collected; committee meetings rest on video captions, which misspell names (the minutes show, for example, Sonnier, Devoti, Aldridge, Ware, Tyanna Broadway). Pages built from captions have been corrected where the minutes settle the spelling.
- The minutes give motions and votes but not the substance of debate; debate detail comes from the video captions where processed.
- The clerk's attendance counts do not always match the names listed (October 9: 11 in person and 2 by Zoom, then 14 present, while 12 names are listed and Oldenburg, who is not listed, voted). Votes are taken from the recorded roll calls.
- The October 2 and 9 minutes were approved by voice vote at the following meeting (October 9 and 16); approval of the October 16 minutes falls on October 23.
- The committee captions placed the Board Bill 64 street closure in the 2600 block of Oregon Avenue; the minutes say the 2800 block. The minutes govern.
- Where video captions and minutes differ on outcomes (for example the Homer G. Phillips lease bill, sent to the Informal Calendar per the minutes), the minutes govern.
- Bill numbers differ between sources in one case: the minutes record the 2027 HUD Annual Action Plan as BB 86 (October 2), the October 23 agenda as BB 104.
- Planning Commission Nov 18 5:30 PM listed on all-public-meetings page but no event URL/agenda retrieved, so omitted.
- Agenda packets are on CivicClerk (JS portal), not read.
- Video titles carry meeting dates.
