“Committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body: due to the size of the board there are no committees with the authority to act on behalf of the board of directors that meet separately. A board development and finance committee was formed during the 2013 year but does not act on behalf of the governing body. An executive committee was formed during the 2014 year but does not act on behalf of the governing body.”

“Review of form 990 by the organization's governing body: the president of the board of directors reviews the form 990 before filing. The form is made available to each board member after it has been filed.”

“Monitoring and enforcing compliance with the conflict of interest policy: annually, each officer, board member, key employee, and key manager is required to complete an "annual conflict of interest statement" that acknowledges that he/she has read, understood and agreed to comply with the agency's conflict of interest policy, affirms that neither the person nor an immediate family member has participated in any conflict of interest activity, and agrees to notify the board of any conflict situations that may arise. Each of the above persons must also annually complete a "family and business relationship questionnaire". The board president is responsible for ensuring that all affected parties complete the statement and questionnaire. These forms are reviewed by the board president who is responsible for ongoing monitoring of and reporting to the board of directors on compliance issues. Determinations regarding a transaction involving a potential or actual conflict of interest are made by the board. Persons with potential conflict must leave the meeting during the discussion and not vote on the transaction involving the possible conflict of interest. Provisions of the agency's conflict of interest policy require that all transactions in excess of $1,000 involving a conflict of interest require the prior disclosure to and consent of the board of directors. Transactions of less then $1,000 that may or do involve a conflict of interest must be reported to the board of directors within six months after the transaction as information only. Transactions requiring a determination by and approval of the board are brought before the board as needed while transactions of less than $1,000 are reported semi-annually to the board of directors at their meetings in february and august. All other staff and consultants are prohibited from engaging in any transaction involving a conflict of interest without the consent of the board of directors. As such, they are subject to the rules described above regarding disclosure along with prior approval and/or reporting of transactions involving a conflict of interest. If a conflict exists and the conflict warrants the removal of the director or officer from their position, the bylaws afford the board of directors with the authority to do so. Documents available upon request.”
