Not the full picture. Built from public records, which leave things out.Older reportDetails

This is built from public records, which leave a lot out, and some of it may be wrong or out of date.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
An older report. We have no 2024 report for Madoc in the Province's latest release, so these pages use its 2022 report. It may simply be filed late.
Read by hand. We read Madoc'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

Madoc 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 Madoc?

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

Partly
Audited financial statements
The Finance page links audited statements for 2021 and 2022 only. The auditor's reports are dated March 1, 2024 and June 5, 2024. Council's July 8, 2026 minutes record that it accepted the 2023 statements, but we did not find them posted. We did not find 2024 or 2025 statements. The Township's September 10, 2026 news release says there is a backlog of financial reporting. Source
Yes
Budgets posted online
The Finance page links the 2025 and 2026 budgets, a set of 2026 budget notes, and the 2026 tax rate by-law. The file named as the final 2026 budget is headed "Preliminary #3 - Mar 19, 2026". The by-law that adopted the 2026 estimates is posted separately. Source
No
Council pay and expenses (s. 284)
We did not find a yearly statement of council pay and expenses on the Township's site. The elections page links by-laws numbered 1747-2025 and 1798-2026, and the April 16, 2026 agenda says 1798-2026 sets the rate of council remuneration. We did not open those by-laws, and a rate by-law is not the statement of what was paid. Source
Partly
Meeting agendas and minutes
Agendas and minutes are posted back to 2020, and the October 7, 2026 agenda is posted. Most of the minutes we opened from September 2025 to June 2026 are posted as pictures of pages with no text that can be read or searched, so we did not use them. Minutes up to July 8, 2026 are posted; we found the August and September 2026 minutes only inside the October 7, 2026 agenda package. Source
Partly
Tender results
On October 7, 2026 the Tenders page said "The Township currently does not have any tenders or quotations available." The September 24, 2026 special meeting agenda shows the propane tender results, with both bids and the amounts. Source
Unknown
Integrity Commissioner and conflict-of-interest registry
We did not find a page on the Township's site about an Integrity Commissioner or a public registry of conflict-of-interest declarations. Council's code of conduct for members is posted on the elections page. Source
Yes
2022 election candidate finances
The Township posted the 2022 candidates' financial statements (Form 4) on October 16, 2023. Source
