The county commission crawl is county_01125, not the city folder—“Tuscaloosa County” and “City of Tuscaloosa” are separate jurisdictions. Warehouse source id for the city website row: uscm + AL + tuscaloosa (joined with | in the database).

Cache folder names use the legacy suffix form (county_01125, municipality_0177256, …) under data/cache/scraped_meetings/…; jurisdiction_id in bronze uses the prefixed form (c-AL-01125, m-AL-0177256, …).
