• Agendas, packets and minutes: the city's CivicClerk portal, https://amarillotx.portal.civicclerk.com/ (council category 26).

Data quality notes

• Council agendas were read in full text. Council minutes are posted only through the August 25 regular meeting and some August work sessions, so every September to November Council page is built from the agenda alone and states no outcomes.
• The sources conflict on the property tax rate (see FY2026-27 Budget and Tax Rate); the adopted rate is not known.
• Planning and Zoning and Parks and Recreation pages exist only for meetings with a posted video; their agendas and minutes were not read. Other board meetings were not built.
• Video dates are taken from the meeting date in each video title, not the upload date, which can be a day or two later. A possible duplicate stream exists for October 27. Video captions have not been pulled yet.
• Meeting pages cover 2026-08-03 through 2026-11-24.
