Public meetings are important spaces for democracy where any resident can participate and hold public figures accountable. But how does the public know when meetings are happening? It isn’t easy! These events are spread across dozens of websites, rarely in useful data formats.
The mission of the City Scrapers project is to increase access and transparency around public meetings across the St. Louis County by making it easier for everyone to know when and where public meetings are held.
We welcome both coders and non-coders to help out with our project! Read about how we collaborate for more details.
This project is based off of a template repo provided by City Bureau. You can read more about what they do at citybureau.org
