Sources
Where the data comes from
- City/town website: https://cityofmebanenc.gov (council page, meeting calendar PDF and news were readable on 2026-10-23)
- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://cityofmebanenc.gov/council-meetings/ and the 2026 meeting calendar PDF (revised 9/8/26); the November 2 agenda and packet are posted (read 2026-11-07); the next council meeting is December 7 (agenda not yet posted)
- Meeting video: City of Mebane on YouTube. Three council meetings (August, September and October) have captions processed.
Data quality notes
- The October 20 packet is a very large file and was not read. The November 9 Planning Board meeting was canceled by the city. The Board of Adjustment meets with council on the first Monday; no listing for November 2 was found. The November 2 minutes are not posted (probably approved December 7).
- The City Manager is unconfirmed (the captions say "Richard White", which is not on the council roster the city lists and may be a mix-up with council member Jonathan White). The council roster (Mayor Ed Hooks, Mayor Pro Tem Tim Bradley, Katie Burkholder, Sean Ewing, Montrena W. Hadley, Jonathan White) and the City Clerk (Stephanie W. Shaw) come from the city's website; board chairs are missing.
- The city's council page and the video channel list did not yet show the October 20 meeting video on 2026-10-23, but an earlier listing showed it (uploaded 10-21) and it is used here.
- The August and September council video dates are inferred from captions. Meeting transcripts are auto-generated captions, so names and some terms may be misspelled or misheard.
