Upcoming meetings
Nothing on the calendar for a future date. The site was last updated 2026-10-10; a meeting noticed since then appears when it is next built, and one that has already happened moves to recent meetings by itself.

The town’s minutes are the record: a vote from them carries the minutes’ own words, checked verbatim. A vote from the recording only was written by a language model from machine captions — a motion as heard, and “not audible” a finding about the recording — and links to the second in the video. Both records are read as they arrive and joined here, whichever came first.
