“Mrc's financial officer/treasurer is responsible for the accurate and timely completion and submission of the form 990 information return annually. Prior to filing, the completed forms are sent to the executive or finance committee for review and are made available to the full board prior to submittal. Copies of the filed returns will be retained and made available to the public upon request as required by law.”

“Each officer, director or key employee will report any conflicts of interest to the cfo or board chairman, as soon as practical after they become aware of such a conflict. They must also annually complete the form 990 tax questionnaire in addition to completing the conflict of interest and financial disclosure forms required by the state. Mrc monitors compliance with its conflict of interest policy by reviewing the annual questionnaires and providing a summary highlighting potential conflicts of interest to the executive committee to determine whether further action is required. If conflicts exist, the executive committee will recommend to the board corrective measures, if any, to be taken to resolve the conflict or will impose appropriate restrictions on the persons with the conflict. The board of directors, excluding such conflicted persons, will have final approval of any recommended corrective measures or imposed restrictions. Such restrictions will require excluding conflicted persons from discussion and approval of transactions benefiting them, directly or indirectly.”

“The executive committee of the board acts as mrc's compensation committee. They annually review and approve the overall merit pool, any one-time salary adjustments, and changes to the structure of the performance incentive plan.

Compensation for officers and key employees will be reviewed based upon comparable data and must be approved in advance by the executive committee. The deliberations and decisions on compensation will be contemporaneously documented in the minutes. The individuals covered by this policy are the president/ceo and the financial officer/treasurer. The process was last completed in september 2024.”
