Columbus agenda changes

What this page is11,811 rows held · newest sealed read 2026-08-29

• We caught 19 changes to Columbus meeting records. We read Columbus 68 times and its meeting list had meetings on it 42 of those times; these counts come from those 42 reads.
• We hold 12 meetings across 2 bodies, and 1,300 agenda items across 40 bodies, for the City of Columbus, Ohio.
• The meeting list and the item list are not the same Columbus file. The meeting list we hold covers Columbus City Council and Zoning Committee. Of the 1,300 items we hold, 143 sit with a body on that meeting list and 1,157 sit with one of 38 other bodies. The biggest of those are Public Utilities & Sustainability Committee (200), Finance & Governance Committee (173) and City Bulletin (117).
• 798 items moved from one stage to another, in the words Columbus uses itself. We do not translate them.
• 12 items had the wording rewritten after already being on a published agenda.
• 1 is the agenda being stamped published again at the same web address. Whatever was at that address before is not there now, and nothing on the public site marks it.

Real rows out of our sealed copies

These are rows we read out of dated copies we keep ourselves. The live source shows today only, so once a row moves, what it said before is gone from the place you would go to look.
Source: the meeting records of the City of Columbus, Ohio, read through Legistar, the council-records system run by Granicus. The records are theirs; the dated copies and the comparison between them are ours.

What this page cannot tell you

• The meeting list and the item list come from two different Columbus files and they do not line up. 1,157 of the 1,300 items we hold sit with a body that never appears on the meeting list we hold, so do not read the item count as the docket of any one body.
• On 26 of our 68 reads, Columbus returned a meeting list with nothing on it. We ask for the meetings dated in the last 14 days and ahead, and on those days Columbus had none. That is a short agenda, not a failed read: the read worked every time and the answer was an empty list, not an error. The newest read did have meetings in it.
• We can only show you a change that happened between two of our reads. If a council put an agenda up and took it down again inside one day, we did not see it and we will not pretend we did. We missed 12 days: 19 Jun 2026, 4 Jul 2026, 8 Jul 2026, 15 Jul 2026 and 8 Aug 2026, plus a 7-day stretch from 11 Aug 2026 to 17 Aug 2026. Anything that moved and moved back inside one of those gaps is not in this feed, and we will not claim it is.
• We hold six governments and no others: Chicago, Seattle, Austin, Phoenix, Columbus, and Los Angeles County.
• We ask Columbus for the meetings dated in the last 14 days and ahead, and for the items Columbus edited in the last 7 days. That window is what we hold, not the whole docket. So a row leaving one of these lists means it left this file: it does not mean the meeting was cancelled, the item was killed, or that anyone named on it went away.
• A meeting dropping off the list is usually the list rolling forward past the meeting date, not a withdrawal. That happened 6 times here and is kept out of the table above on purpose.
