Where the data comes from

• City website: https://dallascityhall.com
• Agendas and meeting calendar: https://citysecretary2.dallascityhall.com
• Official minutes: https://dallascityhall.com/government/citysecretary/Pages/CCMeeting_2026.aspx (PDFs at https://citysecretary2.dallascityhall.com/pdf/CC2026/).
• Officials, agendas and video lists were collected from these official sources on 2026-10-22.
• Issue and meeting pages were rebuilt on 2026-10-24 from the full text of the City Council minutes of August 25, September 9 and September 23, 2026, the September 2 briefing minutes and the August 26 budget workshop minutes.
• On 2026-11-08 they were extended with the full text of the October 14 voting agenda minutes, the September 23 minutes (re-checked) and the September 16 briefing minutes.

Data quality notes

• No video found; issue detail comes from posted minutes, so discussion minutes are not recorded.
• Posted but not yet processed: briefing minutes of August 19, budget workshop minutes of August 11, Council minutes of August 12 and briefing minutes of August 5. October 21 and October 28 have agendas only.
• The minutes record each council member by surname. First names on the People pages for West, Cadena, Willis and Ridley come from the city website roster, not the minutes. The city manager, city secretary and city attorney are not named in the minutes read.
• The September 2 Committee of the Whole minutes list amendments but the text of each revision is blank in the printed record, so only the movers, seconders and seal counts are captured.
• On August 25 the minutes list West on both sides of the vote to defer the Living Wage Policy item, and on September 23 the yes list for the Walnut Hill subsidiary motion names 13 members against a printed count of 14.
• September 16 briefing: Items 6 through 10 print "moved to adopt the minutes as presented" for the motion, apparently boilerplate from Item 1, and are read as motions to adopt each item. The Item 4 heading shows $5,972,586,745 while the amended motion was $5,974,342,745. For the Item 8 reorganization ordinance, which failed for lack of 12 votes, the printed yes list names 11 members against a count of 10, and one member appears in both lists. The text of each budget amendment is blank in the printed record.
• October 14: the September 23 consent items deleted that day (highway traffic program and jail payments) returned as Items 3 and 4. The minutes do not mention the election date in the 2027 City Calendar. Names of students appointed to the Youth Commission and of speakers' home addresses are not recorded on these pages.
