Terms and sources

This is not the official site of any city hall or city council, and it is not any city's official local gazette. It is an independent project that reads the documents the councils publish and explains them. The version that counts legally is always the council's own document, which every page links to directly.

Where the data comes from

From each council's public documents: the adopted decisions, from the city hall's register or website, and, where the council publishes them, the minutes of its sittings. Every document read is archived, and every decision links straight to the council's own document, so anyone can verify exactly what was read. We currently cover 8 city councils — Brașov, Craiova, Iași, Galați, Arad, Suceava, Ploiești, Cluj-Napoca — with 412 sittings and 9141 decisions.

What is and is not guaranteed

The rule the whole system follows: a figure appears here only if it appears literally in the source document. Nothing is computed, estimated or filled in. Where the document is silent the field stays empty — we do not put a zero and we do not guess. The percentages on the analysis page are the only numbers we compute, and each is shown beside both original amounts so it can be checked by hand.

Even so, automated extraction from PDFs can be wrong: a poorly scanned table, unusual wording, a decision published in a different structure. We do not guarantee completeness or accuracy and accept no liability for decisions taken solely on the basis of this site. Check the official document before anything that matters. If you find an error, tell us — we will fix it.

Minutes, which carry the votes, are usually published weeks or months after a session. Until then a session may appear here with its decisions but without votes. Where that is the case, the page says so explicitly.

Reuse

The council's acts are public documents and nobody owns the facts in them. The derived text — the plain-language summaries, the structure, the annex descriptions, the analysis series — is produced by this project and offered under CC BY 4.0: copy it, republish it, use it commercially, provided you credit “Monitorul Local” and keep the link to the original page. Every decision can be read freely on the site; the complete dataset is not offered as a public download, but we make it available on request, through the contact form at the foot of the page.

Comments and votes

Comments belong to their authors. We remove comments containing personal attacks, incitement to hatred, third parties' personal data, or spam. Votes are a rough measure of reader interest, not a poll: they are counted once per visitor, but we verify nobody's identity and they should not be read as representative.

How to reach us

Through the form at the foot of any page. It asks only for an email address and a subject, and what we do with them is set out in the privacy notice. We answer requests about personal data within one month at the latest.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Romanian law, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the legislation on access to public-interest information. If any part of this text is found invalid, the rest stands. Using the site means you accept these terms; if you do not, the official sources are linked from every page and are available to you directly.

Corrections

If a page misrepresents a document, write to us with the decision number and what is wrong. We fix the extraction and republish. We cannot change the original document — only the issuing authority can do that.
