This newsletter was assembled by The Lexington Times from the city's published meeting calendar and from articles on feeds.lexingtonky.news. The headline and introduction were drafted by AI (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) from items chosen by the newsroom's ranking rules, and each meeting's highlight bullets were drafted by the same model from the agenda packet; each meeting's preview and recap reuse the summary of its underlying article, which is itself an AI rewrite of the cited agenda or meeting record. Agendas, previews and recordings are linked from every item. How we make these.
