Coverage
The Ledger reports the record where it can read it. Depth differs by county, because the governments publish differently. This page says, county by county, what is read, how, and what is missing. To see what is on the record near one address, use the address lookup.
Agendas read before the meeting: partly.
| What | From | How |
|---|---|---|
| City Council and committee agendas, bills, resolutions, committee reports | Honolulu Legislative Documents (hnldoc) | read by script each time the site is built |
| Zoning and Planning Committee agendas, item by item (by script when every numbered line parses; otherwise in a session) | Honolulu Legislative Documents | read by script each time the site is built |
| Applications open for public input | Department of Planning and Permitting's public-input map | read by script each time the site is built |
| Building permits, 1999 to July 1, 2025 | City open data (static file) | read in an editing session, then entered in the source's own words |
| Neighborhood board meeting schedules | Neighborhood Commission Office board pages | read in an editing session, then entered in the source's own words |
| Neighborhood board agendas, item by item | Neighborhood Commission Office email lists | read in an editing session, then entered in the source's own words |
| Incidents reported to police, by block and type | Honolulu Police Department, city open data (vg88-5rn5) | read by script each time the site is built |

Missing: Neighborhood board agendas are not yet in the record: they arrive only by the Neighborhood Commission Office's email lists, and the Ledger's reader is ready for them. 29 of 33 board schedules come from undated stored copies of the board pages; each page says which. Permits issued after June 30, 2025 are in HNL Build, which publishes no open dataset.

Where a source refuses automated reads, the Ledger does not work around it; it reads by hand, asks, or goes without, and says so here. The watcher's own health is on /status. This page is written by the Ledger and updated with each change in coverage; last reviewed Sept. 19, 2026.
