Where the data comes from
Data quality notes
- Official minutes: City Clerk Municipal Archive Search, https://webapp9.sanantonio.gov/ArchSearch_mod/Default.aspx (PDFs with a text layer). Issue, Meeting and People pages were rebuilt on 2026-10-24 from the full minutes of the City Council A Sessions (September 3, 10 and 17, 2026), the zoning sessions (September 3 and 17), the budget work sessions (September 15 and 16), the September 16 public comment session, the Audit Committee (September 2) and the Economic and Workforce Development Committee (August 31).
- Minutes for later sessions (September 30, October 1, 7, 8, 14, 15 and 21) were not yet posted; their agendas are on the PrimeGov portal, https://sanantonio.primegov.com. The Planning Commission pages for October 28 and November 18 still come from agendas only.
- No video found, so discussion minutes are not recorded. Slide decks attached to the committee minutes were read for figures; some charts did not extract cleanly, so figures not stated in the minutes text are left out.
- Council agendas and committee dates beyond the minutes above remain unavailable (SASpeakUp is JavaScript-rendered).
- City manager name is confirmed by the minutes (Erik Walsh). Public speakers other than officials are described by count and position rather than by name; one high school student who spoke is not named.
- Second pass, 2026-11-08: the City Council A Session minutes of September 3, 10 and 17, 2026 were re-read in full and the Meeting, Issue and People pages extended (consent items, public comment counts, presenters). The minutes are PDFs with an OCR text layer, so some names and figures are uncertain and marked [?] on the pages: the Workforce Solutions Alamo executive director appears as Adrian Lopez on September 10, the State Rainy Day Fund is quoted as both $26 billion and $24 billion on September 17, and the first name of some presenters follows the printed spelling (for example Shanon Miller).
- The September 3 minutes record the vote on postponing the Esperanza Community Land Trust item as having 'prevailed' although the roll shows 3 Aye and 7 No; the pages treat it as failed, consistent with the narrative and the 7-3 approval. The roll for approving the August 13 and 18 minutes also lists two members absent who were present for the rest of the meeting.
- Youth Commission appointees and students who spoke are not named; public speakers are described by count and position except where a speaker already has a People page.
