2026-10-26 update (slice 11): Meeting pages for May 19 (City Council and Informational Meeting) and the May 26 joint meeting with the Minnehaha County Commission built from the full approved minutes, with new Issue pages for the joint zoning ordinance amendments, the section line right-of-way vacations, the Sunset Creek annexation correction and the Arts Plan adoption, and first-reading entries added to the rezoning Issue pages. The minutes do not describe what Ordinances 36-26 and 37-26 change, record the county vote counts, or give the reason for deferring the Costco rezoning.

2026-10-26 update (3): Meeting pages for June 9 (City Council) and June 16 (City Council and Informational Meeting) built from the full approved minutes, with new Issue pages for the West 26th Street rezoning, the Post-Hall Addition lease, the City property purchase offer, the Charter amendments and the Great Bear Ski Valley update. The minutes do not describe the Charter amendments, the property in Ordinance 46-26, the finance presentation figures, or the Great Bear figures; Council Member Barranco's audio was not heard for several June 16 votes.

2026-10-26 update (2): Meeting pages for September 1 (City Council), September 2 (Planning Commission) and September 8 (Informational Meeting) rebuilt from the full approved minutes, with new Issue pages for the September 1 rezonings, Sunset Creek Addition, the Eckert Addition tier change, the BID budget and assessment, the street front foot assessment, two Planning Commission sign and alcohol permits, the Urban Forest Update and The Link Project. The minutes do not record discussion content for the Planning Commission permits or the September 8 presentations, and Erica Mullaly appears in no recorded Planning Commission vote on September 2.

2026-10-26 update: Meeting pages for October 6 (City Council and Informational Meeting) and September 29 (Informational Meeting) rebuilt from the full approved minutes. The minutes do not record the result of the October 6 reconsideration of the consent agenda (Item 4), the content of the parking presentation, or the speakers at public input.

2026-10-25 update: Minutes from October 6 and October 14 City Council meetings processed. Created 7 new pages (Taxation Code Amendment, City Real Property Lease, Shared Use Path Connections on South Veterans Parkway, Willow Ridge Addition, Rezoning North of E. 57th St, Appointment of Thomas Greco, and updated Parking Fees ordinance). All links verified.
