What CouncilNotes is

CouncilNotes is a tool that collects, organizes, and summarizes public records from local government — meeting minutes, ordinances, recorded votes, and campaign-finance filings — to make them easier to read.

Accuracy and source documents

The information here is drawn from public records. Automated summaries and chat answers are generated by software and may contain errors or omissions. Always verify anything important against the linked source document, which is the authoritative record. CouncilNotes is not an official government record and is not a substitute for one.

Not professional advice

Nothing on this site is legal, financial, electoral, or other professional advice. Don't rely on it as such.

Please don't misuse the site: don't attempt to disrupt or overload it, don't scrape or harvest it in a way that violates these terms or applicable law, and don't misrepresent its content.

Intellectual property

The underlying public records are public. The CouncilNotes name, design, and the way we organize and present the records belong to SlabTech LLC. Other names and marks are the property of their respective owners.

Third-party links and services

The site links to external sources and relies on third-party providers. We are not responsible for the content or practices of sites and services we don't control.
