Data quality notes
- Only agenda outlines were read: no agenda packets and no minutes. Summaries list agenda items and say nothing about votes or outcomes.
- Videos for 2026-10-20, 2026-10-27 and 2026-11-03 are queued for caption processing. The 2026-09-22 workshop date is inferred from its upload date. Other City Council meetings in September (the regular meetings of September 1 and 15) were not found on the video list and their agendas were not read.
- No video was found for the Hearing Examiner, Utility Advisory Committee, Library Board or Parks and Recreation Commission meetings.
- Meeting pages begin with 2026-09-22. Meetings of the other boards in CivicClerk have not been read yet.
