Welcome aboard! This is a list of public meetings and agendas to help you follow the work of officials you’ve elected.

Sorting out 1,500 meetings

This public meetings list started as an internal project at The Current: to help us set our schedules and read meeting agendas to get an idea what we should cover.

Public meetings are one way that reporters monitor what public officials are up to — like redrawing school zones, building a new fire station or covering a developer’s late payment on a land deal.

Then we decided to take the list public. Because these aren’t just meetings for insiders or reporters or regulars — this is where decisions get made for all of us, about our schools, our money, our safety, our communities. 

In 2024, The Current found and listed almost 1,500 meetings from about 50 agencies and boards. Not all of them are going to attract the crowds who came to hear about drilling new industrial-size aquifer wells. But even down to the level of basic zoning questions, you have the right to know that meetings happen, to get educated about the agenda points and to contact your elected officials and your appointed board members, some of whom might be your own neighbors.  We’re all in the same community here.

And please contact us, too, with any comments and ideas for Coastal Navigator.

This list starts with an automated collection and is checked and edited by a human. But agencies may announce new meetings, change meeting times or cancel them, sometimes without any online notice. Some publish calendars in more than one place with different information.  Some rely on Facebook posts which may require a login to read and cannot be collected automatically. 

You may want to call ahead and verify the meeting time and place, especially for smaller agencies.

We want to meet your friends! If you like this newsletter be sure to share it.
