What this covers
- 33 votes at 13 meetings, 7 November 2017 to 6 July 2026 (FY2018-FY2027).
- 29 from the board's own minutes (13 of the 13 sets the town posted have been read), 2 of them matched to the recording; 4 from our minutes of a recording only.
- A meeting with neither minutes read nor a recording we have written up has no votes here, which is not the same as no votes taken. Each fiscal year says how many such meetings the register knows of.
Where each result comes from
- The town’s minutes, matched to the video (2): the board's own minutes, matched to the same vote in the video.
- The town’s minutes (27): the board's own minutes, as the town posted them — the official record.
- From our reading of the meeting video (4): our reading of the meeting video, from a machine transcript — not an official record, and may be unreliable.
Fiscal years run 1 July to 30 June; a meeting is filed under the fiscal year it was held in.
A quote is the minutes' own words, checked verbatim when they were read. A vote from the recording only is a motion as heard by a language model from captions, never a quote.
One row per motion voted. Procedural votes (minutes, adjournment) are hidden unless asked for.
Every row, as data: /data/votes/finance-committee-appointing-committee.json. What the record cannot answer is on what we cannot answer.
As of 2026-10-24. All boards.
