Read by hand. We read Carlow-Mayo's own documents for this site in October 2026; the Sources page lists which ones. The comparisons with other places still come from the Province's yearly reports.

Council

Who decides, and how you can hold them to account

Carlow-Mayo is run by an elected council of 4 people. They set the budget, approve big purchases and hire the senior staff who run the town day to day.

How open is Carlow-Mayo?

What a resident can find online without asking, as of October 7, 2026.

  • No
    Budgets posted online

    The Taxation & Finance page says that once a budget is passed it is a public document, and that residents may view it or request a copy from the Township. We found no budget file on the site. The same page posts tax levy by-laws as PDFs. Source

  • Yes
    Audited financial statements

    Statements for 2019 to 2025 are posted on the Taxation & Finance page. The 2025 statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from Baker Tilly KDN LLP dated June 9, 2026. Source

  • Unknown
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    We did not find the yearly statement of council remuneration and expenses on the council, administration or finance pages. We did not search the meeting portal (see below). Source

  • Partly
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    The Township's own archive pages list agendas and minutes up to April 9, 2024. The Council Meetings page says to use a separate meeting portal for May 2024 and later. That portal's robots.txt asks automated tools to stay out of the whole site, so we did not read it and cannot say whether recent minutes are up to date. Source

  • Yes
    2022 election candidate finances

    The 2022 elections page posts a financial statement for each of the nine candidates it lists. We did not read them. Source

How to raise a concern

From the gentlest step to the most serious. Start at the top.

  1. Integrity Commissioner

    The Township says it has appointed an Integrity Commissioner (a firm in Kingston) to look into Code of Conduct and conflict of interest complaints and to report to Council. Its Code of Conduct and complaint protocol are posted. We did not use the report linked from the page.
