## Events data provenance

The calendar aggregates public iCal feeds from the Town of Monument (meetings and community
calendars) and Our Community News (which covers Palmer Lake, the special districts, and the
school boards). Where the same meeting appears in multiple feeds, the town's own listing wins.
Recovery-group meetings and regular worship services are deliberately excluded.

## Ownership and independence

Tri-Lakes Colorado is a wholly owned division of Monument Independent LLC, publisher of The Monument Independent. The directory and the newsroom keep an editorial firewall: buying a listing or an ad here buys nothing from the newsroom, and being covered in the news costs nothing here.

Paid placement exists and is always visibly labeled "Paid placement". No other part of
the ordering or content of this directory is influenced by payment.
