Narragansett: Follow a public decision
Start with the body, not just the town. A council, school committee and zoning board have separate records. In the state Open Meetings portal, search Narragansett in Public Bodies, choose the correct body and set a date range. The state's community-wide search convention is “[Location], City/Town of.” Click a meeting date for its agenda and the body's name for its details.
Track the document's job. An agenda is a list of planned business. Your worksheet should keep the proposed action separate from a later published action or minutes. If you cannot find that later record, write “not yet located” rather than assume the proposal passed. Keep the item number with the link so someone else can reproduce your search.
Recheck before attending. Read the official posting for changes, location and participation details. A collected calendar can omit a revision or cancellation. The worksheet below leaves space for a later check, so a saved agenda does not silently become your final answer.
