Council meeting minutes - archival

This dataset contains City Council meeting minutes and the reports filed with them for all of the Regular, Special and Inaugural Council meetings held in the 1970s. They are presented in the order in which they were originally paginated, which may not always coincide with date order. Typographical errors in the official record have been left in and will not be corrected. The data is formatted as a single text (TXT) file concatenated from 554 individual meeting files: a double-line separator (=======) has been inserted between each set of minutes. It does not contain any images present in the minutes.
