Field notes
The homepage separates Gulf Shores and Orange Beach coverage, then links reporting to council votes, upcoming agendas, and tracked projects. Its examples range from a council appointment involving a tourism board to the terms of a police-drone contract; the latter is described as free initially, then roughly $176,000 per year absent timely written notice. The site also marks a reporting limit: it says it could not find either city’s proposed 2027 budget.
