Data quality notes
- The agenda, packet and minutes PDFs on the records portal are scanned images with no text, so none could be read.
- Issues come from skimmed YouTube auto-generated captions of the 2026-10-20, 2026-11-03 and 2026-11-10 videos, so they are thin and may contain misheard names and figures.
- Minutes for 2026-11-03 and 2026-11-10 are not yet posted.
- The police chief, fire chief, finance director, public works director and planning director were not retrieved and are omitted.
- Meeting pages begin with 2026-09-01.
