Where the data comes from
- County website: https://www.alamancecountync.gov (Board of Commissioners page readable 10/23; commissioners.alamancecountync.gov was down when last checked)
- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://pub-alamance-nc.escribemeetings.com (eSCRIBE; blocks automated access). 2026 schedule: https://commissioners.alamancecountync.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2025/12/2026-Regular-Meeting-Schedule.pdf
- Meeting video: Alamance County on YouTube (channel "AlamanceCountyNC"). About seven meetings from the last 90 days are listed; most have captions processed.

Data quality notes
- The commissioners meeting site returned server errors (500/502) earlier in the week. The county's Board of Commissioners page now lists the five commissioners (Chair Kelly Allen, Vice Chair Steve Carter, Thompson, Priola, Powell); the committee list is still missing, and the 2026 schedule PDF could not be opened (dates come from search results).
- The eSCRIBE agenda portal blocks automated access, so agendas and minutes could not be read.
- The Oct 19 Commissioners video has captions disabled, and the County Attorney and Clerk are not confirmed by an official source. The Board of Adjustment calendar has not been checked. Meeting transcripts are auto-generated captions, so names and some terms may be misspelled or misheard.
