Data quality notes
- cityofomaha.org, citycouncil.cityofomaha.org 403; Omaha Legistar returns 'Invalid parameters' to automated requests Omaha Legistar has no usable data.
- No council committee or planning board meetings found (Planning Board meetings not located).
- No November agendas posted.
- Full seven-member council roster now confirmed from the journals; Mayor Ewing appears only as the appointing authority.
- The journals record motions, movers, votes and speaker positions but not what speakers said or council discussion, so detail on contested items is thin. Sept 22 minutes (and earlier) are posted but not yet processed.
- Video exists on the Clerk's site but no transcripts; meeting pages are built from the journals only.
- Council did not meet October 13 and will not meet November 17, 2026.
- Video platform and IDs unidentified.
- Meeting times from agenda PDFs.
