How open is Charlton-Dack?

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

  • No
    Budgets posted online

    We did not find a budget, adopted or draft, on the Municipality's website. Council approved the 2026 budget on June 1, 2026, and the agendas list the draft budget as an attachment, but the posted agenda files hold only the list of items. Source

  • Partly
    Audited financial statements

    The Financial Statements page links statements for 2013 to 2021. The newest is the 2021 statements, with an auditor's report dated June 6, 2022. Council's minutes of June 1, 2026 record approval of the 2025 audited financials, and we did not find them, or 2022 to 2024, on the site. Source

  • No
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    We did not find a statement of council remuneration and expenses on any page listed in the site's sitemap. Source

  • Partly
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    The council page links an agenda and minutes for each 2026 meeting from January 5 to July 6, and an agenda for September 2, 2026. We did not find minutes for September 2. The agendas are lists of items: reports and attachments named on them are not in the files. Source

  • Partly
    Tender and quote results

    The RFP and Tenders page lists two 2022 gravel tenders and nothing newer. Source

  • Unknown
    Integrity Commissioner and closed meeting reports

    We did not find any on the pages we read. The 2021 statements list a reserve for an "Integrity commission investigation", so the Municipality does set money aside for one. Source

  • Unknown
    Election information

    The Election page has a heading, "Municipal Elections", and no text under it. Source

  • Yes
    Closed sessions

    The 2026 minutes from January 5 to July 6 record no closed session. Each agenda has a heading "New Business and/or Closed Session" and the minutes list only open business. Source
