Not the full picture. Built from public records, which leave things out.Read by hand, Oct 2026DetailsThis is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date. Check the sources, and tell us if you spot a mistake. What this site can't tell you
Read by hand. We read Conmee'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

Conmee is run by an elected council of 5 people. They set the budget, approve big purchases and hire the senior staff who run the town day to day.

Current council

Names and official email addresses from the town's council page. None of the members lists a public social media account there.

How open is Conmee?

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

  • Yes
    Audited financial statements posted online

    The Reports page lists audited statements for 2013 to 2025. The 2025 statements carry a clean opinion ("present fairly") from MNP LLP dated June 23, 2026. The 2024 statements carry an opinion dated December 8, 2025. Source

  • Partly
    Budget posted online

    The 2026 and 2025 budgets are posted as PDFs, but every page is a picture with no text we can extract. We did not read them and used no figure from them. The budget amounts we quote come from the budget column of the audited statements, which the Township says it adjusted from the adopted budget by-law. Source

  • Unknown
    Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

    We did not find a yearly statement of council pay and expenses on the council, reports, policies or meetings pages we read. Source

  • Partly
    Meeting agendas and minutes

    Agendas for 2026 meetings open as PDFs with readable text, and each agenda package includes the minutes of the previous meeting. The separate minutes files we opened for April to August 2026 are pictures of pages with no text, so we did not use them. The agenda links for May 12 and May 26, 2026 open the same file. The meetings page lists a September 22, 2026 meeting as "Cancelled - No Quorum". Source

  • Unknown
    Tenders and requests for proposals

    The RFPs and Tenders page showed no postings when we read it. Awards (such as a landfill engineering contract) appear in council agendas. Source

Where the town speaks for itself

Conmee's official channels, as linked from its own website. Council members may also post on their own pages; we link only to official municipal channels.

Ask for the records

Anyone can ask the town for its records under Ontario's Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). You do not have to say why. Here is how it works, and the wording for the records that would answer the questions on this site.

  1. Send the request in writing to the town clerk (the freedom of information coordinator), on the town’s form or in a letter, with the $5 application fee.
  2. Describe the records, not the answer you want. Dates, departments and the kind of record (a list, invoices, emails) make a request quicker and cheaper.
  3. The town has 45 business days to answer (the law changed in 2026; older guides say 30 days). It can charge for search time and copies, but must send an estimate first if the fees will be over $25.
  4. Some parts can be held back, such as legal advice or personal information about other people. The town must say which part of the law it relied on.
  5. If you are refused, or the fees seem too high, you can appeal to the Information and Privacy Commissioner within 30 business days of the town’s decision.

  • What made up 2025 other revenue and trade receivables

    The 2025 statements show other revenue of $859,395 and trade receivables of $869,490, up from $117,243 and $31,069.

    Show the request wordingHide the wording
    I request, under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act: Please send a list of the items that make up the 2025 "other revenue" of $859,395, and a list of the trade receivables at December 31, 2025 grouped by who owes the money, with how much of each had been paid by June 23, 2026.

  • Cash held for each reserve at December 31, 2025

    Reserve funds were $301,121 and the reserve bank account held $108,416.

    Show the request wordingHide the wording
    I request, under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act: Please send the December 31, 2025 balance of each reserve fund and the bank account or accounts in which the cash for each is held.

The wording is a starting point, not legal advice. Narrow the dates if the town says a request is too broad or too costly.

How to raise a concern

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

  1. Code of Conduct and complaint policies

    The council page links the Code of Conduct by-law (By-law 1135, amended by By-law 1253), a Code of Conduct Complaint Policy and a Closed Meeting Complaint Policy. We did not find any investigator or Integrity Commissioner reports on the pages we read.
