Mount Pleasant Cemetery Association

“There is one class of members with the right to elect the governing body and to approve certain significant corporate actions. The members of the corporation consist of the lot owners.”

“Under new york law, cemetery corporation members have the power to elect trustees.”

“Under new york law, certain significant corporate actions are subject to approval by the members.”

“Each member of the board of trustees received a copy of the 990 for review before filing.”

“Under the organization's conflict of interest policy, each trustee, officer and key person (each of the foregoing, a "covered person") must disclose to the organization's compliance officer under the policy the existence of any financial interest in a covered transaction (a "related party transaction") or proposed covered transaction or any other possible conflict of interest promptly upon becoming aware of such interest or other possible conflict. In addition, the policy provides that each trustee, officer and key person must submit a written conflict of interest disclosure statement at least annually. Any covered person who is the subject of a related party transaction or conflict must disclose all material facts regarding any covered transaction under consideration to the compliance officer under the policy. After the covered person has disclosed his or her interest and all other material facts, and after any discussion with the covered person (including allowing the trustees to ask questions of the covered person), the covered person, if in attendance, must leave the meeting of the board of trustees or board committee while the determination of whether to approve the transaction is discussed and voted upon (following the specific detailed procedures and requirements of the policy). The disinterested trustees present at the meeting (if a quorum is present at the time of the vote) determine whether to approve the transaction.”

“The only officer, top management official, or key employee who is salaried is the superintendent and each year his compensation is formally reviewed and approved by the independent trustees on the board. This review includes comparability data and the deliberation and decision are contemporaneously documented in the board's minutes.”

“These documents are made available to the public by request at the cemetery and are available at the cemetery office.”
