Where the data comes from

• City/town website: https://forsyth.cc/commissioners
• Agendas and meeting calendar: https://forsyth.cc/commissioners (Board of Commissioners meetings; volunteer boards at https://forsyth.cc/Commissioners/volunteer_boards.aspx)
• Meeting video: Forsyth County Government on YouTube (livestream tab). The City-County Planning Board is on the City of Winston-Salem channel. A few meetings have captions processed; the rest are pending.

Data quality notes

• The Clerk to the Board is Ashleigh B. Matthews per the official minutes. Don Martin resigned effective July 31, 2026 and Chris Parker was appointed August 10, so the seven-member roster is confirmed.
• Official minutes for July 30, August 27 and September 17, 2026 are on the county's CivicWeb site (documents 253343, 253510, 253511).
• The Planning Board and Board of Adjustment chairs are missing, Planning Board videos beyond 8/13 were not located, and the Board of Education video source was not found.
• The county's schedule page says briefings are on Mondays and meetings on Thursdays (its commissioners page text is out of date); the 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM times and the October 26 to November 12 dates come from that schedule, and agendas are not posted yet. The portal calendar needs JavaScript. No new videos were found in the 2026-10-23 check; the October 12 briefing and October 15 meeting are not yet on the video channel.
• Some meetings were uploaded twice; only one copy is used. Meeting transcripts are auto-generated captions, so names and some terms may be misspelled or misheard.
