“The library director emails a copy of the final version of form 990 to each board member before it is filed. It is not known if board members review the forms”
“Employees shall inform the director and that the director or members of the board of directors shall inform the board chairman of possible conflicts of interest in purchasing, hiring, or provision of services so that conflicts of interest may be resolved or removed.”
“The board sets up a personnel committee independent of the library director. The personnel committee annually reviews the performance of the library director. A written evaluation of the director's performance is drawn up by the committee. The director will receive a raise that is the same rate increase set by the board for all employees of the library.”
“The library makes available its governing documents, financial statements and tax returns to the public upon written request. The library provides financial statements to the town of bennington select board on a quarterly basis.”
“Chng in int held by vt commty fd = $26073”
“Endowment funds intended uses (part v, line 4)the library board transferred funds to the vermont community foundation to establsih an endowment fund for the library. The purpose of the endowment fund is to provide for the purchase of books and other library materials for the library. The foundation invests the library's funds and makes distributions to the library annually, the amount of which is determined by the foundation's board. Additional distributions may be made to the library by vote of the foundation's board in case of financial emergency or other extreme circumstances. Although the terms of the transfer include granting the foundation variance power, it is presumed that the library has retained the future economic benefits of the transferred assets as prescribed by sfas 136.”
