“A copy of the form 990 is provided to all members of the board of trustees prior to its filing, who then review and approve of its filing.”
“The board of trustees discusses the organization's conflict of interest policy and the application thereof at least once per year.”
“Officer compensation was determined by the independent board of trustees, utilizing salary data for officer compensation at similarly-sized exempt organizations in the area. This process and determination was documented in the minutes of the meetings of the board of trustees.”
“The library's governing documents are available upon request.”
“The organization's board of trustees assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statement and selection of the independent accountant same as in prior years.”
“The library is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the code. The library evaluates all significant tax positions as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america. As of june 30, 2025, the library does not believe it has taken any tax positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability nor does it believe there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next year. The library's information returns can be subject to examination by taxing authorities for a period of three years from the date they are filed. As of june 30, 2025, the june 30, 2022 through june 30, 2024 returns are subject to examination. It is the library's policy to recognize any interest and penalties as expenses in the year they are assessed.”
