St Augustine Manor Corporation

“The Organization has 3 members: 1.) The Board of Directors jointly and collectively, 2.) The Secretariat of Catholic Charities Corporation and 3.) The Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland.”

“The members can be elected by the Secretariat and the Bishop, or deferred to the nominating committee of the Board of Directors to make recommendations for new Board members.”

“The Bishop and the Secretariat must approve appointment of new members to the Board of Directors as well as annual operating and capital budgets. The entity cannot sell or acquire real property without the approval of the Bishop and the Secretariat, nor may it take on long-term debt without approval.”

“The 2022 Form 990 was prepared in-house on the same basis, and using the guidance provided by an independent accounting firm. Prior to filling, Form 990 is reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer and The Chief Executive Officer.”

“All employees, including Officers, Directors, Trustees and Key employees are required to disclose interests that could give rise to conflict at the time of hire or appointment. They are then further instructed to notify the organization of any changes during their tenure that could be considered a conflict of interest. The disclosure must be signed by the employee and their supervisor. This is a required part of the annual employee evaluation process. Starting in 2014, annual disclosures of potential conflict of interest are required of Board members. No conflicts have been identified initially or subsequently.”

“The President/CEO's salary is set by the Secretariat of Catholic Charities Corporation within prescribed guidelines and is approved by the Bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland. All positions within the organization are scaled based on duties and responsibilities. Those scales are rated and evaluated by the Human Resources department using comparative salary and wage surveys from the not-for-profit Nursing Home Trade Association. Individual salaries are determined within the established pay range for each position.”

“The Organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and audited financial statements available to the public upon written request. Annual Form 990 is available through Guide Star.”
