This report collects every mention of surveillance technology found in Granby's recorded public meetings -- automatically transcribed, then keyword-scanned. Each mention below links straight to the moment in the source video, so anything here can be checked against the recording itself.

Start with Timeline to read the discussion in order, or Findings by topic to jump to one technology.

Mentions are found by keyword and are not individually verified. A mention means the words were spoken at a public meeting -- not that the town uses, bought, or approved the technology. Read the quote and watch the clip before drawing a conclusion.

2026-08-27 13:59:58.631162 agenda_platform_confirmed granby-ct.gov's Boards & Commissions page links directly to /AgendaCenter -- confirmed CivicPlus AgendaCenter, same vendor as Milford (this project's one already-fetchable agenda platform). WebFetch of granby-ct.gov/27/Boards-Commissions, 2026-08-27 claude
2026-08-27 13:59:58.631162 channel_found gctv16 (GCTV16) -- already registered under East Granby's name in the previous batch (a seed script), whose own notes already documented it as shared with Granby. Verified directly this session by re-crawling the full corpus rather than trusting that note alone: 777 /videos + 1 /streams titles, 310 prefixed "Granby" (not "East Granby"). re-crawl of youtube.com/channel/UCZnbatLuVPJEM91xypyJ-uQ (/videos + /streams), 2026-08-27 claude
2026-08-27 13:59:58.631162 leak_check_both_directions Confirmed zero leaks in both directions: Granby's 10 anchored patterns match none of East Granby's 258 anchored titles; East Granby's 12 existing anchored patterns match none of Granby's 310 anchored titles. Python leak-check script against full corpus, 2026-08-27 claude
2026-08-27 13:59:58.631162 patterns_validated_from_real_titles 273/310 Granby-anchored titles matched at least one body (88.1%) -- the 37 unmatched are ceremonial/PR/community content (Memorial Day Parade, Volunteer Fair, Poll Workers Appreciation, Youth/Senior Services PSA series, library events), correctly not government oversight meetings. Python pattern validation against the anchored subset, 2026-08-27 claude
2026-08-27 13:59:58.631162 shared_channel_link_added Added town_channels row linking Granby to the existing gctv16 channel (not a new channel registration). All Granby patterns anchored ^granby\b -- since East Granby titles always start with "East" not the bare word "Granby", this anchor cleanly separates the two towns. Python two-way leak check against the full 778-title corpus using both towns' exact shipped patterns, 2026-08-27 claude

Every finding in this report is a keyword match against exactly these files. Download them to check a quote in its full context, or to search for something this report's keyword list does not cover.

What's inside: one plain-text .txt file per meeting, named <date>_<video-id>_<meeting-title>.txt, plus a MANIFEST.txt giving the date range and how much of the town's video archive is transcribed.

How to use it

unzip granby-meeting-transcripts.zip -d granby
cd granby

# every meeting that mentions a term, with the surrounding line
grep -rin "license plate" .

# just the meeting dates, from the filenames
grep -ril "flock" . | sort

The filename's leading date is the meeting date, so a hit tells you which meeting to watch. Find that meeting in the Timeline below for a direct, timestamped link to that moment in the video.

These are machine-generated captions, not certified minutes. Expect mis-heard names and technical terms, and quote the video rather than the transcript when accuracy matters.

Generated 2026-09-27T15:22:49 from Granby's meeting transcripts and agenda documents. Home addresses spoken during public comment are redacted; see the archive MANIFEST for what that means.
