Inventory the archive. Ticket the packets people still use.
Answer
Cities keep years of old packets. Title II does not ask us to remake every historic PDF. We list what is there. We look harder at documents people still use to apply, pay, or join a meeting.

28 CFR 35.201 — inventory archived and preexisting conventional electronic documents; ticket or OCR only when they are still used to apply or participate, or posted after the entity’s deadline.
This month
Send current packets and forms to the website vendor this month. The archive stays listed. A JavaScript “transcript” of a PDF is not the same as fixing the file people download. How much is automated.
