Where the data comes from
- City website: https://www.hanovercounty.gov/
- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://hanovercova.portal.civicclerk.com/?category_id=26
- Meeting video: https://hanovercova.portal.civicclerk.com/?category_id=26 (CivicClerk; the county YouTube channel @HanoverCountyVA carries news, not meeting videos in recent uploads)
- 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
- Clerk to the Board not verified on a fetched official page, so omitted.
- Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission agendas/videos come from the county CivicClerk portal (read via its public API, plain GET).
- Meeting videos are hosted on CivicClerk, not YouTube, so no video_id.
- School Board agendas are on BoardDocs (not fetched); School Board vice chair and members only partly verified, so only the chair is listed.
- Oct 28 BOS agenda unposted; no November BOS or Planning Commission meetings were listed yet.
- Planning Commission 9/17 falls before the window.
