Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing files in cdp_scrapers/instances/ and the EventIngestionModel API, then identify how those scrapers expose get_events with date bounds. The work is done when a Washington, DC instance provides that function and returns city council meetings as List[EventIngestionModel] for the requested period.
