“Part iii, line 1, description of organization mission: the mission of exploring the metropolis (etm) is to study, analyze and resolve the workspace needs of the cultural and performing arts community in the new york city area. Etm seeks to foster a vibrant and prolific performing arts community around shared resources of space and talent in order to increase stability and growth within the artistic community while broadening public access to performing arts. Etm accomplishes this mission by (1) matching artists and performing arts organizations seeking affordable, suitable workspace to rehearse and perform with facilities managers seeking to rent space (2) advising funders and government agencies in addressing workspace issues that affect the arts industry in all five boroughs of new york city (3) performing studies of physical facilities to assist facilities managers with better management and utilization of their existing space.”

Pt VI, Line 2

“James s. Sligar (board secretary) is the personal attorney for eugenie c. Cowan havemeyer.”

“Etm board does not have a committee to act on its behalf. The board makes all governing decisions relating to the organization and documents all its meetings held or written actions undertaken during the year.”

Pt VI, Line 11B

“The finance manager reviews the 990 after it is prepared by the accountant. Then both the finance manager and the executive director review the 990 together to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information on the 990. Once the executive director is satisfied with the 990, it is forwarded to the board chairwoman who reviews selected sections of the 990 to ensure that the organization still meets its 501(c)(3) status. Each board member is then provided a copy of the 990 before it is filed.”

Pt XII, Line 2C

“Exploring the metropolis does not have a committee that assumes the responsibility for oversight of the compilation of its financial statements and the selection of an independent accountant. The board of directors fulfills these responsibilities.”

Pt VI, Line 12C

“All board members and employees are required to sign conflict of interest statements annually. This is monitored by the chairwoman.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“The board sets the executive director's salary. The board chair and the treasurer discuss the budget with the executive director and make a determination as to whether an increase is feasible. All changes in salary are approved by the board.”

Pt VI, Line 19

“Exploring the metropolis makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request. Anyone who needs a copy of the 990 of the organization can also obtain a copy by visiting the organization's office. Exploring the metropolis's form 990 can also be accessed by the general public at guidestar.rog and the new york state charities bureau's website.”
