What this page is, and is not
An announcement, not a measurement: what our watchers could see on the town’s website and YouTube channel on 2026-10-24. The day our crawler first saw a document. The town publishes no posting timestamp, so a gap between a meeting and its minutes appearing is an UPPER BOUND on how long the town took, never a measurement of it. Documents adopted when the watch was seeded have no first_seen and are excluded from every lag figure. The date of the last live crawl, not today. This feed goes visibly out of date rather than silently.
Last crawl 2026-09-08: 51 boards listed, 6 new agendas and 0 new minutes seen.
