“This is not applicable as the library only has a governing body who has sole authority to act; there are no other bodies or committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“The form 990 is reviewed by the library director and board members when received as a draft from its independent auditors. At this point, the library director and board members review the form 990 in comparison to the audited financial statements. Upon reviewing the form 990, any questions that arise are asked to the independent auditors. At this point, once approved in draft form and all questions are answered, the form 990 is then filed.”

“The policy was adopted at the board of trustees meeting on august 18, 2008. The policy has been enforced since its adoption. All new board members are given a copy of the policy upon appointment. The following procedures are followed: 1. Each year, board members are required to submit the state ethics commission statement on financial interests to the cranberry township supervisors. 2. Any stakeholder involved in conflict of interest shall disclose all facts and material at the scheduled board meeting (or if attendance is not possible, the facts and material can be disclosed to the board president or other officer); this information will be reflected in the minutes of the meeting. 3. A person who has a conflict of interest shall not participate in or be permitted to hear the board's or committee's discussion of the matter except to disclose material facts and to respond to questions. Such person shall not attempt to exert his or her personal influence with respect to the matter, either at or outside the meeting. If this person is a board member, he or she will not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum for the purposes of a vote, nor will the board member participate in or be present for the vote. 4. For purposes of this paragraph, a member of the board of directors of cranberry public library has a conflict of interest when he or she stands for election as an officer or for re-election as a member of the board of directors. 5. In the event it is not entirely clear that a conflict of interest exists, the individual with the potential conflict shall disclose the circumstances to his or her supervisor or the chair or the chair's designee, who shall determine whether full board discussion is warranted or whether there exists a conflict of interest that is subject to this policy.”

“The board examines state, regional, and national salary surveys for the appropriate position in communities of comparable size. Annual performance reviews are then completed and are based on action items identified in the library's strategic plan.”
