Version history
Every published version of this article, newest first. Versions are append-only: a correction adds a row, it never rewrites history. Each version below states what changed against the version before it — which fields moved, and which body lines were added or removed.
The content hash is a SHA-256 fingerprint of that version's stored headline and body, computed when the version was written. Two versions with the same hash hold identical text; a changed hash proves the text moved. It is the tamper-evidence check — recompute it against an exported copy of a version and any silent edit shows up as a mismatch.
How we verify a hash — and how you can
Canonicalization: the hashed bytes are the version's stored headline, then the two characters ||, then the version's stored body markdown — UTF-8, SHA-256, lowercase hex. Nothing else is in the input: no normalization, re-wrapping or rendering is applied first, no trailing newline is added, and no other field (including the parent version's id) is mixed in.
Export a version's stored headline and body, join them with the two characters ||, and take the SHA-256 of the UTF-8 bytes. It must equal the hash printed beside that version. In a shell:
printf '%s' "HEADLINE||BODY" | shasum -a 256-

- The portal is not currently offering any document for this entry. That is a statement about the portal and nothing more: an agenda that is not posted may belong to a meeting that has been called off or to one whose agenda has simply not gone up yet, and there is no field here that tells the two apart.

Version 2
Wording carried forward. 605Buzz changed its own wording of this page after the previous entry and before the next one. This entry records the page as it read just before the source’s change, so the next entry shows only the source’s change. It does not say whether the earlier wording was right or wrong.
Revised by 605Buzz — recorded under an internal label that names no person who read this version

- The portal gives the time as 17:30 on Nov. 2, 2026, printed exactly as published.
- The portal marks that time UTC. This entry carries nothing to check that mark against, so 605Buzz says nothing about whether it is right, and the time above is reproduced exactly as published, without conversion. South Dakota keeps two time zones — Central east of the Missouri River, Mountain west of it — so 605Buzz prints the city's own wall clock rather than converting it for anyone.
- This article was assembled from [the City of Spearfish's public agendas and minutes page](https://www.spearfish.gov/AgendaCenter). See the [corrections ledger](/corrections) if a field is wrong.
