Where the data comes from
- City website: https://www.cityofpierre.org
- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://www.cityofpierre.org/AgendaCenter
- Meeting video: Commission meetings are broadcast on OaheTV Channel 8 / HD 608 (per agenda); no official YouTube or on-demand archive found
- Official minutes: City Commission minutes for September 29, October 6 and October 13, 2026 (https://www.cityofpierre.org/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Minutes/_09292026-2677, https://www.cityofpierre.org/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Minutes/_10062026-2679, https://www.cityofpierre.org/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Minutes/_10132026-2680)

Data quality notes
- Issues are built from the three sets of minutes above. Routine items (claims, payroll, raffle permits, a Discovery Center alcohol permit, new hires) are not tracked as Issues.
- The October 20 and later meetings have agendas only; their minutes were not yet posted or read, so the utility rate second reading, the e-bike ordinance and the slurry seal closeout have no outcome recorded.
- The minutes do not explain why two electric transformer awards fall below the quoted bid ranges; verify against the bid tabulation.
- A City Planning Commission meeting (Oct 26) appears on the city calendar but no agenda was found in the Agenda Center listing, so it is not in meetings.
- Details of several agendas not extracted.
- No on-demand video found; only OaheTV cable broadcast.
