Indiana session laws 1833–1838 to the Common Council minutes of 2026 — the municipal record as a source class
What it is: the city's own paper, in four layers. The statutory layer: the Acts of Indiana, Local Laws 1837–38, chapter CCXXXIII, read for the Neighborhoods leg, with the 1838 town act's text and the Iron Works charter of 22 January 1835 as Howard carries them. The code layer: the municipal code as the federal courts reproduce it (chapter 125 in the Seventh Circuit's opinion, in the Producers leg). The minutes layer: the Common Council's 2026 minutes, from which the Government leg verified the present roster — mayor, all nine council seats by district and at-large, the 2026 council president, the clerk — meeting the depth standard's current-seat requirement from the city's own record; the same minutes carry the District 3 variance (a 2023 letter naming Tony Hazen against the 2026 roster's Lou Ann Hazen) open, with its settling source named. The publication layer: the city's information-and-statistics page (read November 2026), its May 2026 brownfield record with the state and the EPA's revolving loan fund for the Dodge ground, and the city's own published photograph of the 2024 City Hall plaque, which the Wars leg transcribed at full resolution, column by column, twice.
Its standing, from this build's experience: the city's current record is good and current — the Government leg's roster stands on the minutes themselves, not on a directory's relay. Its historical minutes are another matter: they sit on reels at Notre Dame (Part three), and nearly every government gap in this build names them.
Where it fails: the announced and the accomplished are kept separate in this build because the city's own forward statements require it — the 100 Center project stands, in the mayor's own word of April 2026, with completion "unknown," and the Current and Today leg prints it so.
