“As a cooperative, we have a voting membership.”

“The membership elects the board of trustees.”

“The election of the board of trustees and the adoption of the annual budget are voted upon by the membership.”

“Form 990 is provided to all board members prior to filing, and a ten-day period is set aside during which board members may submit any comments or questions to the president of the board. It is the organization's policy to resolve all questions and issues prior to filing the form 990.”

“There is a trustees code of conduct which, among other matters, requires disclosure of potential conflicts of interest that he may have regarding any matters that may come before the board, signed annually at the first meeting of the board held in the new fiscal year. The policy also requires the trustee to abstain from discussion and voting on any matter in which he has or may have a conflict of interest. With regard to form 990, part vi, section b, question 12c, the board of trustees will review the requirements of the trustee code of conduct periodically, but not less than twice during the course of any fiscal year, at one of its regularly scheduled meetings in order to monitor compliance. In the event of non-compliance with the policy by any trustee, the remaining members of the board will have responsibility for enforcing the policy.”

“No documents available to the public”
