A citizen-activist channel (owner is a Pomfret BOE candidate), NOT an official archive -- but the only Pomfret video source that exists, carrying ~17 genuine Board of Selectmen / Special Town Meeting / P&Z / BOE recordings among 26 commentary videos. | yt-dlp --skip-download probe + full /videos crawl, 2026-08-27 | claude |
| 2026-08-27 16:02:03.803689 | no_official_channel_found | Pomfret has NO official town video channel. pomfretct.gov publishes Board of Selectmen agendas/minutes and a general /minutes-and-agendas index but names no video source. Four separate ytsearch queries returned no town channel -- the top hits were Plainfield's two channels surfacing as generic "Board of Selectmen" ranking noise, the exact failure mode docs/onboarding_hartford.md warns about. | yt-dlp ytsearch12 x4 ("Pomfret Connecticut Board of Selectmen meeting", "Town of Pomfret Connecticut meeting", "Pomfret CT Planning and Zoning Commission Connecticut", "Town of Pomfret CT meetings") + curl of pomfretct.gov, 2026-08-27 | claude |

Confirmed Connecticut from local markers in the title corpus: NECCOG (Northeastern Connecticut Council of Governments), WINY Radio (Putnam CT), the Woodstock Villager and The Pomfret Times (northeastern CT weeklies), the hashtag #pomfretct, and CT body vocabulary (Board of Selectmen, First Selectman, Board of Finance, Town Meeting). | Full 43-title corpus inspection, 2026-08-27 | claude |

The low rate is correct: 26 of 43 titles are opinion/reaction videos naming no meeting body. Body split: Board of Selectmen 9, Board of Education 5, Planning & Zoning 1, Board of Finance 1, Town Meeting 1. | yt-dlp --flat-playlist crawl + Python pattern validation, 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 pomfret-meeting-transcripts.zip -d pomfret
cd pomfret
# 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 2026-09-27T15:43:20 from Pomfret's meeting transcripts and agenda documents. Home addresses spoken during public comment are redacted; see the archive MANIFEST for what that means.
