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 last 15 dates this board met, by today’s date rather than the day the site was built — so a meeting moves here on its own. For a program, every agenda and set of minutes as one text file: /minutes/green-community-task-force.txt.

Votes, newest first

From the town’s minutes (0 of 0 sets read) and our minutes of the recordings (17), joined per meeting: 2 substantive, 27 procedural (accepting minutes, adjourning). Where both records have a vote the town’s wording stands; none disagree on the outcome.

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.
