• City Council agendas and minutes: https://www.jacksonvillenc.gov/983/City-Council-Meeting-Agendas-Minutes. Only the October 6, 2026 agenda packet was found for the fall; it contains the draft minutes of the September 22 meeting.
• Meeting calendar: https://www.jacksonvillenc.gov/Calendar.aspx?view=list&month=11&year=2026 (change month and year)
• Council meeting schedule: https://www.jacksonvillenc.gov/369/City-Council-Meetings; boards and committees: https://www.jacksonvillenc.gov/264/City-Boards-Committees
• Public notices: https://www.jacksonvillenc.gov/m/newsflash/home/detail/1656

Data quality notes

• Coverage is thin. Only the October 6 agenda packet was read; the attachments behind its items were not read. It contains the draft minutes of the September 22 regular meeting (about 35 pages, mostly read); whether Council adopted them on October 6 has not been verified.
• Every other meeting is known from the calendar alone. No agendas or minutes for any board other than City Council were found.
• Board meeting patterns (for example, Planning Advisory Board roughly the second Monday) are inferred from calendar dates, not stated by the City. The Board of Adjustment appears to meet as needed.
• Video dates come from video titles. Videos exist for four Council meetings and the Planning Advisory Board, Water and Sewer, Recreation and Parks, Environmental and Appearance, and Neighborhood Improvement Services committees, plus the Youth Council and a separate ONWASA board meeting. No video was seen for the Board of Adjustment, Tourism Development Authority or Civic Affairs Committee.
• Meeting pages begin with 2026-09-01. As of 2026-11-11 no agenda or minutes were posted for the November 4 workshop, the November 5 Civic Affairs Committee or the November 9 Planning Advisory Board; the 2026 council packets on the City page stop at June 16. A recording of the November 4 workshop is linked (transcript pending).
