Council

Who decides, and how you can hold them to account

• Partly
  Budgets posted online

  The Budget and Finance page links the 2026 operational and capital budgets, but they sit in the website's document manager, which the Township's robots.txt file tells automated readers to skip. We did not open them. A draft 2026 budget slide show is posted outside that path, and we read it. Source

• Yes
  Audited financial statements

  The page lists audited financial statements for 2010 to 2025. All sit in the document manager we were told to skip, so we did not read them. Source

• Yes
  Meeting agendas and minutes

  The council calendar links an agenda and minutes for each meeting, on the Township's CivicWeb portal. That portal's robots.txt file blocks automated readers, so we did not open any. Source

• Unknown
  Council pay and expenses (s. 284)

  We did not find a council pay statement linked from the Township's own pages. It may be on the CivicWeb portal. Source

1. Integrity Commissioner

   The Township's Integrity Commissioner reports each year. The 2024 and the 2025 annual reports each say there were no requests for advice and no complaints that year.
