Where the data comes from

• County website: https://www.guilfordcountync.gov/government/board-commissioners
• Agendas and meeting calendar: https://guilford.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx (Board of Commissioners and work sessions)
• Meeting video: the County's Granicus site, https://guilford.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2 (not YouTube). Also shown on Greensboro Channel 13 and High Point Channel 8.

Governing body

• Board of County Commissioners (nine members; regular meetings on the first and third Thursday at 5:30 PM in the Old County Courthouse, 301 W. Market St, Greensboro, with a work session before them, usually 3:30 to 4:00 PM): Chairman Skip Alston; Vice Chairwoman J. Carlvena Foster; Commissioners Kay Cashion, Frankie T. Jones Jr, Pat Tillman, Brandon Gray, Alan Perdue, Mary Beth Murphy and Carly Cooke. Their district or at-large seats were not read.
• Clerk to the Board: Robin Keller.
• The County Manager and County Attorney are not named in the agendas read and are not listed.

Data quality notes

• No minutes are posted for any meeting in the window (September 1 to December 3, 2026), so every meeting page is built from the agenda item list as posted. Outcomes and votes are not recorded. Approval of earlier minutes appears as an agenda item on September 3, October 1 and November 5.
• The five work sessions (September 3 and 17, October 1 and 15, November 5) have agendas posted, but the items were not read, so those pages are placeholders.
• Several agenda titles were cut off in the source (the October 15 development approvals moratorium and the November 5 data center moratorium); their scope is not recorded.
• Video is on the County's Granicus site for September 3, October 1, October 15 and November 5 and has not been transcribed. No recording is listed for September 17 and none for the work sessions. There is no YouTube channel for County meetings.
• The Planning Board and Board of Adjustment have no events in the window, and the county school board (Guilford County Schools) is a separate body that was not checked.
• The November 18 meeting has not yet been held; no December meeting is on the calendar yet (December 3 or 17 would be the usual dates).
• Some agenda items concern the Cities of High Point and Greensboro (library, animal shelter, fire protection and property agreements); see the Issue pages.
