Add MPO activity to Councilmatic #24

Open adamold opened 8 years ago

The MPO is a federally mandated body overseeing the planning of transportation projects in Miami-Dade County. It controls a large budget and the board is filled with county commissioners as well as reps from FDOT, MDX, and some cities. The information for the MPO should be available on councilmatic, in my opinion. It is more important than many of the BCC committees.

So to do this, we will have to make a change to the scraper itself which I have forked to my individual account: https://github.com/ErnieAtLYD/scrapers-us-municipal

Unfortunately this may not have the same impact as Councilmatic due to all agendas only being available in PDF format, but it still may be useful anyway: http://miamidadempo.org/agendas-and-minutes.asp

Yeah, this would be probably a secondary project.

http://miamidadempo.org/calendar.asp might be easier to scrape.
