Civic life

Council & court meetings, and how to follow them

Every governing body in the Twin Lakes area — when they meet, where, and your options when you can't be in the room. The calendar below fills itself from local sources.

Can I watch from home?

Mostly, not live — no body in the area runs a regular video stream as of July 2026. Your real remote options: Baxter County posts committee audio recordings, every body publishes agendas and minutes online, and the Mountain Home Observer and KTLO cover most meetings with previews and recaps — all of which land in the feed below automatically. Meetings are public under the Arkansas FOIA; showing up is always allowed.
