# Claim table — Greenwood agenda/minutes transparency question

| Reader question / issue | Ledge first-pass finding |
|---|---|
| “Why have monthly financial reports been removed from the agendas?” | The Aug. 10, 2026 Greenwood Regular Council agenda/package checked here did not show a monthly financial report, cheque register or accounts-payable report item. This supports asking the City when/why the reporting pattern changed, but a longer month-by-month archive audit is still needed before declaring a formal removal policy. |
| “Why have they removed who first/seconded/opposed a motion?” | The July 13 minutes included in the Aug. 10 package show motion numbers and “Carried,” but no “Moved by,” “Seconded by,” “opposed,” or named vote lines in the extracted text. |
| Is that illegal? | Not established here. B.C. law requires open meetings and public access to minutes; the exact level of mover/seconder/opposed-vote detail appears to depend on local procedure/recordkeeping rules unless another legal requirement applies. |
| Do other B.C. municipalities publish more? | In the reachable sample, other public portals show searchable agenda/minute systems; Vernon’s portal includes a Finance Committee category and Daajing Giids describes its portal as supporting transparent governance, search, reports, agendas and minutes. A province-wide count was not completed in this pass. |
