What happens at City-County Council meetings? What about your local neighborhood meeting? Indy Documenters are people like you who also want to know what’s happening at local meetings where decisions are being made. Here's what they're covering this week.

This week, City-County Council will vote on the proposed 2027 budget for Indianapolis and Marion County. But that’s not all — our Documenters have a full slate of meetings they’re attending so they can take notes and share them with citizens like you. Here's where they're heading this week.

Decisions are made every week that affect everyone in this city. Indy Documenters are people like you who we train and pay to attend public meetings and take notes so people can be more involved in the community. It’s also a way to hold government officials accountable.

As a mom to three kids, Shanti knows the importance of paying attention to what’s going on in our community. From local government resolutions to neighborhood-specific conversations, little decisions can have a big impact on her family. That’s why she became an Indy Documenter.

It takes a village to keep citizens informed, lawmakers accountable and the outcome of civic meetings available to all. That’s why we have Indy Documenters, people like you who we train and pay to attend public meetings and take notes about the decisions being made.

Documenters play an important role in our mission at Mirror Indy, and in the city at large. They’re normal citizens who, through attending public meetings and taking notes, help to keep lawmakers accountable and our communities informed. Here are the meetings they’re attending this week.

Keeping public officials accountable is part of the Documenters mission. Documenters are people like you who we train and pay to attend public meetings to take notes and share them with the community. They’re helping us create a new public record in Indianapolis.

Each week, dozens of meetings are held across the city in which decisions are made that can directly affect you. Whether it's discussing petitions for proposed data centers, neighborhood updates or school district changes, Indy Documenters are there to take record of it all.

Ever wonder who’s keeping public officials accountable for the decisions and promises they make at meetings? It’s our Indy Documenters, people like you who we train and pay to attend public meetings, take notes and share them with the public. Documenters are helping us create a new public record.

Nothing says summer like the farmers market.☀️🍓 I recently dropped in on a different kind of market — one that's run entirely by kids! At this market, kids make their own products, sell them and take home what they earn. Here's a look, via @mirrorindy.org: mirrorindy.org/kids-markets...
