Data quality notes
- vbgov.com unreachable (000/502); used virginiabeach.gov.
- Only the Oct 27 brief agenda PDF was readable; full agendas on eDocs not fetched, so Oct 6/20 and Planning Commission item detail missing.
- November meetings not on calendar page; Oct 6 event page not fetched.
- Brief-Agenda.pdf URL is a rolling link (content read 2026-10-22 showed Oct 27).
- Planning Commission time/agenda_url are event-page only.
- September 1, 8 and 15, 2026 City Council meeting pages were rebuilt from the official minutes; no video recordings are posted for them, so they carry no transcript.
