Governance Explanations
Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 6
“Town square television members may run for a seat on the board of directors and may vote to elect one director on the board each year at the annual meeting. Since the board term is for two years, there are always two persons on the board who have been elected by the membership. Members must be 18 years of age or older to be elected to the board.”
Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 7A
“See member election discussion above.”
Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 7B
“Routine decisions are not required to be approved by the membership. If by- laws are amended in such a way as to impact members, the members vote to approve the by-laws at the annual meeting.”
Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B
“Copies will be e-mailed to the board of directors prior to filing.”
Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C
“Each director and the executive director are required annually to read the conflict of interest policy, disclose any potential conflicts, and sign their acknowledgment of the policy.”
Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A
“The executive director is compensated by northern dakota county cable communications commission (ndc4), the "un"related organization, and not by town square television. Ndc4 determines the compensation of the executive director by using comparability data and performance evaluation and budget factors. Compensation is discussed by the executive committee, a recommendation made, and then discussed again at a regular full commission meeting with a quorum of commissioners present. Actions are recorded in meeting minutes. The process happens annually when the ndc4 budget is approved, and also whenever ndc4 considers giving the executive director a raise. Last raise was approved june 2019 and effective retroactively to january 2019.”
