Meetings
Boards that publish a meeting schedule
When each board meets, as the town's own pages state it. Read from durhammaine.gov when this site was built and not verified against it; the town's page, linked on every row, is the one to trust. 4 of the 23 departments and committees the town lists publish a schedule at all.

The recordings
Every meeting the town has filmed since 2015, summarised with a timestamp on every claim.
The town has recorded 354 meetings since 2015. 349 of them are here, 626.3 hours, with a summary of what was discussed and decided; every item links to the second it happened, so nothing has to be taken on trust. The other 5 produced no usable transcript (mostly audio too poor to read, in one case a recording that runs for seconds) and are listed at the foot of this page with links to the video.

Recordings on the town's YouTube channel that produced a transcript, not meetings held; a blank month is a gap in filming, not an empty calendar, and the minutes remain the record. 1 recording has no date and is excluded. 2026 is partial.

Table view: recordings and decisions by board
Recordings counts every recording with a transcript, including the 1 without a date that the month table leaves out; the 5 filmed but unreadable recordings have no transcript and so no hours or decisions here.

Town of Durham meeting recordings, YouTube auto-captions, and the town's written minutes
Captions cleaned into timestamped transcripts; topics and motions found by pattern matching; summaries written by a language model and required to cite the second each item begins. Every name attached to speech is checked against the attendance list in the minutes, and marked (?) where no record confirms it
https://www.youtube.com/@durhammaine/videos
Data as of 25 August 2026 (the date of the newest recorded meeting in the index); retrieved 2 September 2026.
The town did not film for 4 stretches. There are no recordings at all between April 7, 2015 and January 2, 2016 (270 days), between December 28, 2017 and January 15, 2019 (383 days), between January 22, 2019 and April 8, 2020 (442 days) and between May 19, 2021 and March 15, 2022 (300 days). Those meetings still happened; they were simply not recorded, so nothing on this site can say what was discussed at them. The written minutes on the town's own site remain the record for those stretches.
These are machine transcripts, and the summaries are written from them. YouTube's speech recognition mishears local names, garbles figures, and drops short words, including the "not" in "the motion does not carry". So every line carries the timestamp it came from: if a summary looks wrong, click it and hear what was actually said. Where a summary names who was speaking but no written record confirms it, the name is followed by (?). 3,828 statements carry that marker. 186 of 349 meetings could be matched to minutes naming who attended; in the rest, nobody can say who was speaking.
What comes up, meeting after meeting
Each panel is the share of that year's meetings with a transcript in which a topic's terms appear, a passing mention counting the same as an hour of argument. Panels run from the topic found in the most transcript segments to the fewest. The 19 topics found in 30 or more meetings have a panel; the table lists all 20.

A meeting counts once if the topic's terms appear in any transcript window, so a passing mention and an hour of argument count the same; pattern matching, no model. 2018 and 2019 have too few recordings to show and sit outside the table's period columns. Library (22 meetings) is under the 30-meeting bar for a panel and appears in the table only. 2026 is partial.

Recorded, but not readable
These 5 meetings were filmed and are still on the town's channel, but produced no usable transcript, so there is no summary of them here and nothing on this site says what was discussed. They are listed because a meeting missing from an archive is easy to mistake for a meeting that never happened. The audio was measured before this conclusion was reached; the reason given is what that measurement found.
| Date | Board | Why there is no transcript | Length | Video |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-11-06 | Planning Board | speech-shaped but too faint to recognise; voice detection finds almost no speech and whisper hallucinates | 1:34:46 | watch → |
| 2017-09-19 | Select Board | digital silence: no signal to transcribe | 6:11 | watch → |
| 2017-01-09 | Select Board | digital silence: no signal to transcribe | 4:09 | watch → |
| 2016-09-20 | Select Board | 9 words of speech recognised across 24 seconds of recording, too little to say what was discussed. | 0:24 | watch → |
| 2016-04-19 | Select Board | speech-shaped but too faint to recognise; voice detection finds almost no speech and whisper hallucinates | 51:29 | watch → |
Anyone holding another recording of these meetings (a phone, a laptop, a clerk's copy) has the only version that can still be read.

Town of Durham meeting recordings, YouTube auto-captions, and the town's written minutes
Captions cleaned into timestamped transcripts; topics and motions found by pattern matching; summaries written by a language model and required to cite the second each item begins. Every name attached to speech is checked against the attendance list in the minutes, and marked (?) where no record confirms it
