Direct sources. Clear status. Practical public information.
Louisville Metro Council’s public-record routes are changing. The Council Clerk says Metro is transitioning from Granicus/Legistar to PrimeGov/Swagit for legislation, agendas, minutes, and meeting viewing. A missing item in one portal is therefore an access question—not proof that the meeting, legislation, or record does not exist.
Current-and-archive route map
| Record needed | Start here | Archive/backup route | What to verify |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current/upcoming Council or committee meeting | Metro Council current meetings / PrimeGov route | Council Clerk page and posted final agenda | Body, date, time, location, current agenda version, and attachments. |
| Past meeting from May 11, 2026 forward | Current meeting information system | MetroTV/Swagit video route when available | Exact meeting identity, agenda, minutes status, and recording date. |
| Meeting from May 2023 through May 7, 2026 | Published Council meeting archive route | Old Granicus/Legistar archive | Meeting date, body, agenda packet, minutes/action summary, and video. |
| Ordinance or resolution | Current legislation portal | Legistar archive and American Legal for codified ordinances when applicable | Item number, sponsor, version, committee status, Council action, mayoral action if applicable, and effective record. |
| Official meeting action | Approved minutes/action summary and enacted legislation record | Meeting video provides context but is a different record type | Whether minutes are draft or approved; exact vote/action; later correction or enactment. |
Why a video is not the same as final action
Metro Council’s published policies say minutes/action summaries record attendance and actions and become official records after approval. A meeting recording can show what was said and done in real time, but it should not be silently substituted for the final approved minutes or enacted legislation.
