How this would work as a real product
Upper Merion runs on a different township website platform than Tredyffrin (CivicPlus’s AgendaCenter rather than Tredyffrin’s own site), so it needed its own way of finding and downloading minutes — that groundwork is done, and four real meetings (June–August 2026) are now summarized below. What's left is the same as it was for Tredyffrin at this stage: keep it current as new meetings post, and eventually automate discovery instead of finding each URL by hand.
