The City of Quincy strives to promote transparency in all operations. The Illinois Policy Institute’s (IPI) developed a Ten-Point Transparency Checklist to help provide a “best practices” framework to improve government transparency across the State. The Open Government Section encourages specific information be provided on the city’s website including meeting agendas and minutes, budgets, financial audits, employee salaries and benefits and more. Some of this info, such as compensation, is required by law while other information is not.
