“Not applicable as only the governing body has authority.”

“West central job partnership staff will present the draft form 990 for the fiscal year ending june 30, 2014 to the governing board at their next regularly scheduled meeting. The governing board is comprised of the six county commissioners from mercer and lawrence counties and is the corporate board of west central job partnership, inc.”

“Wcjp has put in place numerous checks and balances, including an internal review of the accounts payable and payroll checks produced. The agency's comprehensive contract report, which is a cumulative list of all contracts wcjp executes each fiscal year also is reviewed. This report is presented to both the governing board and the workforce investment board. The report is scrutinized at the staff, advisory board, and corporate board levels to identify any potential conflicts of interest. Staff and board members have signed documents acknowledging wcjp's conflict of interest policy. Wcjp uses risk assessment to determine which contracts are monitored each year and all new contracting vendors have a pre-award monitoring performed before any agreements are executed. Vendors are required to be registered with the department of state.”

“Board officers of wcjp are not compensated and top management/key employees (ed, cfo, director of programs, and director of administrative services) are paid using the same wcjp payroll grid as all other employees. The grid identifies 9 pay grades and steps within each grade. These positions listed on each pay grade and step increments are set by the board. These increments are paid on the employee's anniversary date and are based on 3 criteria: 1. Recommendation by the division chiefs (ed and cfo) 2. Availability of funding 3. A satisfactory performance evaluation all other compensation adjustments (merit increase or change in salary for a position change) are presented and approved by the governing board at their meetings which are open to the public and advertised (sunshine act).”

“Wcjp's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and audited financial statements, including past form 990s are available upon request. A statement posted on the www.wcjp.org website instructs those interested in reviewing these documents to contact the chief financial officer.”
