Where the data comes from

• City of Missoula, Montana (Missoula County). City Clerk meetings page: https://www.ci.missoula.mt.us/1149/AgendasWebcastsMinutes (records from July 19, 2019)
• Official agendas, minutes and recordings: the City's meeting portal, https://pub-missoula.escribemeetings.com/
• City Council page: https://www.ci.missoula.mt.us/314/City-Council. Council meets the first four Mondays at 6 PM at 140 W Pine St and on Microsoft Teams; packets are usually posted the Friday afternoon before.
• Meeting video: the MCAT (Missoula Community Access Television) YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqjpv7zEieDOmoBdpiVoMPQ, carries Council meetings and the Parking Commission. Committees and the City Planning Commission have no YouTube video.
• Collected 2026-11-12 (added at Dewey's request).

Data quality notes

• Council minutes are not posted as separate items; they are approved through a post-meeting minutes attachment on the next Council agenda. Council pages are built from agendas, so outcomes and votes are not recorded.
• Some committee minutes pages on the portal are copies of the agenda or are empty (Committee of the Whole 2026-10-21 and 2026-10-28, City Planning Commission 2026-10-21, Budget and Finance 2026-11-04). They are treated as unread.
• The portal's PDF downloads were unavailable, so the HTML versions of agendas and minutes were used. Motions and votes were extracted in part and may be mis-split.
• Many bodies were not read at all (Housing, Redevelopment and Community Programs, Climate, Conservation and Parks, Parks and Recreation, Redevelopment Agency, Parking Commission, Historic Preservation, Police Commission and the advisory bodies); their pages list only the posted agenda and minutes links.
• Council meetings for mid and late November and December are not yet on the calendar (the committee schedule is draft until Council finalizes it). Council has no meeting scheduled on 2026-09-07, 2026-10-12, 2026-11-09, 2026-11-23, 2026-12-21 or 2026-12-28.
• The mayor's full name, and department heads other than the Chief of Police, were not confirmed in the sources read.
