Data quality notes
- Meeting pages begin with the regular Council meeting of 2026-08-17, the first for which agenda text was read. Earlier videos (November 2025 to July 2026) are not built.
- Agendas were read for the regular Council meetings of 2026-08-17, 2026-09-08, 2026-09-21, 2026-10-05, 2026-10-19 and 2026-11-02, and the upcoming 2026-11-16 meeting. The special meetings, budget sessions and the joint meeting with Ward County have titles only.
- Posted minutes (through 2026-10-05) and agenda packets were not read, so outcomes and votes are mostly not recorded. Minutes for the two most recent meetings were not yet posted.
- Planning Commission meeting dates for September to November are not in the source, so no Planning Commission pages are built. Its cases appear in the Council agenda items.
- No staff names (City Manager, department directors) were captured, so there are no People pages for staff.
