The Civic Calendar

Every public meeting in Dogtown · Agendas before, recaps after

Four public bodies decide most of what changes in North Little Rock — the City Council, the School Board, the Parks & Recreation Commission, and the Library Board. Their meetings are open to everyone, but the agendas are scattered across four websites and the minutes land weeks later. This page gathers it all: when each body meets, what's on the docket, and what actually happened.

How we cover it

Before each meeting we post the agenda in plain English — what's up for a vote and why it matters. After, a recap: what passed, what stalled, who said what, sourced to the official record and local coverage. See something we missed? Send a tip — no name required.
