“The form 990 is reviewed by the financial committee of the board of directors.”
“There is a written conflict of interest policy in the organization's bylaws. During the nomination and appointment process, potential board members are checked to make sure they do not have any violations of the conflict of interest policy. The liaison for the city of minneapolis, who is an ex-officio, non-voting member of the board, has the responsibility of ensuring compliance with the conflict of interest policy.”
“The executive director submits a performance review to the board's executive committee. The executive committee meets with the full board to determine the executive director's compensation, without the executive director present.”
“The governing documents, conflict on interest policy, and financial statements are made available to the public on the organization's website.”

“With the departure of Executive Director Michael O Fallen at the end of the first quarter the board had to curtail activities to essential services. We laid off non essential staff. In July we hired a new Executive Director, who has worked with the board to assess services, staff and the needs of our community. In October MTN drafted a new strategic plan, changed our mission, established value statements. The new direction will be implemented with the 2017 budget and work plan.”
“Changes in staff limited outreach which limited earned income from memberships and classes.”
“This process has not changed from the prior year.”
“Mtn is exempt from income taxes under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) and applicable minnesota statutes, except to the extent it has taxable income that is not related to its tax exempt purpose. Minneapolis telecommunications network did not have any unrelated business income in 2016. Federal and state tax authorities generally have the right to examine the current and three previous years' returns. Mtn is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction.”

| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 1 | With the departure of Executive Director Michael O Fallen at the end of the first quarter the board had to curtail activities to essential services. We laid off non essential staff. In July we hired a new Executive Director, who has worked with the board to assess services, staff and the needs of our community. In October MTN drafted a new strategic plan, changed our mission, established value statements. The new direction will be implemented with the 2017 budget and work plan. |
