Where the data comes from

  • City website: https://www.corpuschristitx.gov/
  • Agendas and meeting calendar: https://corpuschristi.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx
  • Meeting video: Official YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/CCTVCorpusChristi (CCTV); Legistar also shows Video links on some meetings. No council/commission meeting videos dated 2026-09-22 onward found in the channel's latest 15 uploads.
  • Official City Council minutes (Legistar) for September 1, 8 and 15, 2026 and the August 27, 2026 budget workshop were read in full on 2026-10-24; Issue and Meeting pages for those meetings are built from them. Written public comments attached to the minutes were also read.
  • Officials, agendas and video lists were collected from these official sources on 2026-10-22; meeting content comes from the transcripts as they are processed.

Data quality notes

  • Mayor Paulette Guajardo confirmed from the minutes (Mayor Pro Tem Kaylynn Paxson presided September 1 and August 27).
  • Minutes record votes and speakers' names but usually not speakers' positions or the reasons for abstentions; the Mayor abstained on most September 8 votes with no reason stated.
  • Minutes for the Planning Commission and for meetings after September 15 were not read; October pages remain agenda-only.
  • The Mayor Pro Tem is listed in some minutes as Mayor Pro Tem Paxson; Council Member Gil Hernandez appears as Gilbert Hernandez in the minutes.
  • Nov 2026 meetings not yet on Legistar calendar page fetched (only through 10/28).
  • Agenda item summaries taken from first ~13 items of each Legistar detail page.
  • Oct 13 water wastewater-reuse YouTube video (7NA7pa5YRW0) is a briefing, not a meeting, so excluded.
