Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 2C:

“The process regarding the oversight of the audit and review of the financial statements has remained consistent with the prior year process. The oversight is now handled by the executive committee of the board of directors acting as the audit committee.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization has adopted the guidance in the fasb codification topic related to uncertainty in income taxes which prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements uncertain tax positions that the organization has taken or expects to take in its tax returns. Under the guidance, the organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is "more likely than not" that it is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. The organization believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its returns.”

PART XI, LINE 4B - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Rental property expenses -17,046.”

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Rental property expenses 17,046.”

Schedule D, Part II, Line 9

“The organization accepts responsibility for monitoring and maintaining easements donated by landowners to preserve significant natural resources for the benefit of the community. Cash contributions are accepted to fund these project activities. No value is assigned to the easements as transference of property title has not occurred. Conserve lake county holds five conservation easements on 244 acres of land in lake county.”

IRS990/Desc0LAND PRESERVATION: IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LANDOWNERS, CONSERVE LAKE COUNTY PRESERVES NATURAL AREAS AND FARMLAND IN LAKE COUNTY THROUGH A VARIETY OF METHODS. THESE METHODS INCLUDE CONSERVATION EASEMENT, LAND DONATION, AND ACQUISITION AS WE DID IN 2007 WITH THE PURCHASE OF CASEY FARM. SOMETIMES WE PLAY A VALUABLE ROLE AS A CATALYST AND FACILITATOR. FOR EXAMPLE, WE ENCOURAGED A LOCAL FAMILY TO SELL AN IMPORTANT PARCEL TO THE FOREST PRESERVE DISTRICT AND HELPED THEM WORK OUT MUTUALLY AGREEABLE TERMS. THROUGH POLICY, PLANNING, AND ADVOCACY INITIATIVES WE ALSO HELP BRING ABOUT LAND PRESERVATION SUCCESSES. ONE EXAMPLE IS THE LIBERTY PRAIRIE RESERVE WHERE COLLABORATIVE PLANNING HAS RESULTED IN 3,400 ACRES BEING PRESERVED BY PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERS.
