Where the data comes from

Data quality notes

  • Only 2 meetings in the window are posted in Legistar (an upcoming Nov schedule not yet posted; 10/19 'President' event has no agenda).
  • No Environmental Planning Commission/zoning board data from an official source reached.
  • Council video: a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEqpcP42AmnpJPyuOy1jASQ) lists the October 19 council meeting (video 5744WNNCk4w), and it is used for that page. A separate search on the same day, which tried only a few channel names, did not find a council channel, and this channel has not been tied to an official city page, so treat it as unconfirmed.
  • Legistar shows meetings only through October 26, so agendas for the full Council on November 2 and November 16 (listed on the council's schedule page) are not posted yet; this is not a cancellation.
  • Only 4 officials verified on cabq.gov (page lists other councilors by surname only).
  • Minutes (Legistar action summaries, Final) for October 14 (Land Use, Planning, and Zoning Committee), October 19 (City Council) and October 19 (President agenda review) were merged onto the meeting pages on 2026-10-24. The action summaries record motions and votes only, not discussion. The appointee to the Accountability in Government Oversight Committee is Lucas Abel Pedraza in the minutes; the video captions render the surname as Terrazas. Councilors' full names now come from the Council roster in the minutes; their People pages keep surname-based file names.
  • Minutes documents for September 9 (President, Letter of Introduction), September 14 (Finance and Government Operations Committee action summary) and September 21 (President, Letter of Introduction) were added as meeting pages on 2026-10-26. The President letters list referrals only; the committee action summary records motions and votes only. The committee attendance block lists five present and one excused, while every vote shows four for and one excused.
  • Minutes documents for August 17 (President, Letter of Introduction), August 24 (Finance and Government Operations Committee action summary) and September 9 (City Council action summary) were added as meeting pages on 2026-10-26. The September 9 Council summary records motions and votes only; it does not name the project or amount for the affordable housing item (R-26-51) or the street outreach award (EC-26-192). The outcome of the veto of R-26-30 (charter amendment proposition) is not in the minutes collected.
  • Minutes documents for August 17 (City Council action summary), August 12 (Land Use, Planning, and Zoning Committee) and August 10 (Finance and Government Operations Committee) were added as meeting pages on 2026-10-26. The August 17 summary resolves the R-26-30 veto: the override attempt failed 4-5. It records Council President Peña as excused on the Securin vote and from the Yale Boulevard appeal onward, yet shows her voting on the Quantinuum and BlackVe items (9-0), so the order of items and attendance may not be strictly sequential. Appointee names for the Youth Advisory Council are not repeated on the pages. The August 10 committee attendance block lists four present, one excused and one alternate, while every vote shows five for.
  • Minutes documents for June 15 (President, Letter of Introduction), August 3 (President, Letter of Introduction) and August 3 (City Council action summary) were added as meeting pages on 2026-10-26. The President letters list routing only; the action summary records motions and votes only. No Council meeting page existed for June 15 at that time.
  • Minutes documents for June 15 (City Council action summary), June 10 (Land Use, Planning, and Zoning Committee) and June 8 (Finance and Government Operations Committee) were added as meeting pages on 2026-10-26. All three record motions and votes only. The June 15 summary shows Councilor Lewis as excused on some amendment votes yet voting on others, and does not give the content of amendments or the amounts for most items. The Council's action on R-26-27 (Encuentro training center agreement) is not in the June 15 summary.
  • Minutes documents for June 1 (City Council action summary and President letter of introduction) and May 27 (President letter of introduction) were added as meeting pages on 2026-10-26. The action summary records motions and votes only; it does not give the new minimum wage rate, the content of amendments, or most dollar amounts. The Council's actions on R-26-39 (FY2027 appropriation adjustments) and on some June 1 consent items are not separately recorded. Appointees to youth advisory bodies are not named on the pages. The June 1 letter names the company in O-26-36 as Eden Pharmacy, LLC, while later pages use Eden Pharmaceuticals.
  • Minutes documents for May 14 (Committee of the Whole), May 11 (Finance and Government Operations Committee) and May 7 (Committee of the Whole) were added as meeting pages on 2026-10-26. All three are action summaries that record motions and votes only. The May 7 summary shows only the extension vote and the postponement of the FY2027 budget (R-26-17), with no reason given. The May 11 summary records an Immediate Action motion on R-26-25 as failing on a 4-1 vote, without stating the threshold required. Amendment text and the budget total are not in the records.
  • Minutes documents for May 4 (City Council action summary and President letter of introduction) and April 30 (Committee of the Whole action summary) were added as meeting pages on 2026-10-26. All record motions and votes only. Councilor Baca is shown as excused on the O-26-23 and R-26-6 votes yet present for votes before and after them, and the April 30 attendance block lists all nine present while every vote shows him excused. The record gives no amounts for the Fire Station 11 bunk room transfer or the HUD action plan, and no reasons for the vetoes of R-26-12 and O-26-22.
