Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The form 990 is prepared by the commission's independent accounting firm and then reviewed by the commission's executive director and audit committee. It is then distributed to all members of the board of directors prior to filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The commission ensures compliance with its conflict of interest policy in multiple ways. The commission's transactions are few enough in number that the executive director is able to monitor for any transaction that might implicate the policy. In addition, the policy is reviewed periodically with those subject to it, including at the commission's annual meeting of its board of directors.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The board of directors engaged a professional and independent compensation consultant to review and advise and then based on that, the board determined the compensation for the executive director”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Documents are available upon request”
