“The hickory recreation council has always been operated by a dedicated group of volunteers. Compensation has never been requested by or offered to any member of the board or program chairpersons for their services. However, in 2008 the member of the board of directors voted to approve to contract with the treasurer of the organization, not for his daily financial responsibilities, but for his time to process and submit annual tax returns (i.e. Form 990, personal property taxes, 1099's and any other financial request by a government agency). The treasurer is employed as an accountant on the outside and volunteers his time to maintain the books, write checks and reconcile bank statements. He is issued a 1099 misc form and is responsible for reporting and paying all applicable income taxes as an independent contractor.”

“Hickory recreation council's by-laws, financial statements and 990 tax filings are available to the public upon request. Anyone can contact the treasurer or another member of the board to request copies. Our monthly board meetings are also open to the general public.”
