Town of Princeton · Independent reader

Council meetings, in plain English

Princeton Town Briefs turns public agendas and minutes into short, readable notes so neighbours can see what was decided, what’s coming up, and why it might matter — without wading through the full package.

Summaries are drafted with AI on a local computer using an open-source model (llama3.1) — not a remote data-centre service. Facts stay tied to the official CivicWeb record; analysis is always labeled as context.

How to read a brief

FACT

Taken from agendas, minutes, linked reports, and (when labeled) meeting-recording captions — votes, recommendations, and next steps. Captions are not adopted minutes.

CONTEXT

Who may be affected by the items. This is interpretation, not a recorded fact, and it never claims anyone’s private motives.
