City government finances summed across the 107 covered cities with Census finance data - not every government in the area, and county/state/school spending is not included. Read from the Census Bureau government-finance file.
Reported by 61 city police agencies to the FBI (NIBRS) and read from the FBI Crime Data Explorer. Offenses reported to the FBI by the covered cities' own police agencies, summed - not sheriff or state patrol activity, and not every city reports every year; reporting practices differ between agencies.
The next one on the calendars is CANCELED - Workforce / Affordable Housing Citizens Advisory Committee (Islamorada, Village of Islands) on Monday, September 7 - one of 817 meetings currently scheduled across Florida's covered cities. Each meeting page links to the city's own agenda.
Cities set their own rules - sign-up forms, comment periods and time limits differ - so every agenda page here shows that city's own participation instructions when the record includes them.

126 of 143 covered cities have enough official records for a number: 10 Good and 116 Limited. A Limited band means the records show gaps or there are not yet enough records to say - never a judgement.
