“The executive director and operations director review a draft of the 990 and discuss any observations, questions or changes with the cpa return preparer. Management emails each board member a pdf copy of the 990 for their review. Board members are given a period of one week to review the return and reply to management with any observations, questions or changes.”
“The conflict of interest policy is distributed periodically to board members and staff, who are asked to sign the policy and reveal in writing any potential conflicts of interst. Board members and staff are reminded at meetings and in official communications to recuse themselves from any official votes where they may have a conflict of interest.”
“The process for determining and reviewing the compensation for the organization's executive director involves the board of directors and the annual budgeting cycle. The executive committee of the board meets in closed session to discuss the performance of the executive director. Pay structure, salary scale and other comparability data is gathered from other nearby landtrusts. This information is used by the executive committee in determining the compensation for the executive director as part of adopting the annual budget.”
“All governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are made accessible in the front lobby of the office and available to the public upon request. Electronic versions of documents (pdf) are made available to the public upon written request.”

“The organization receives donations of conservation easements from landowners. Occasionally the easements received may be partially or entirely paid for by the landtrust. Conservation easements typically assign the development rights of land to the landtrust, thereby protecting it from development by current or future landowners. Although the removal of development rights of land has a measurable devaluation to the landowner, they have no attainable value to the landtrust. There is no market or market value for the easements in the hands of the landtrust and the easements in fact impose a financial burden on the organization. Easement donors, while helping the landtrust satisfy conservation objectives, actually impose financial responsibilites on the organization through their ongoing monitoring requirements. Therefore, easements acquired by the landtrust (whether purchased or donated) are accounted as "zero value" assets and are, therefore, not reflected in the organization's financial statements.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 1 | THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVES DONATIONS OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS FROM LANDOWNERS. OCCASIONALLY THE EASEMENTS RECEIVED MAY BE PARTIALLY OR ENTIRELY PAID FOR BY THE LANDTRUST. CONSERVATION EASEMENTS TYPICALLY ASSIGN THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS OF LAND TO THE LANDTRUST, THEREBY PROTECTING IT FROM DEVELOPMENT BY CURRENT OR FUTURE LANDOWNERS. ALTHOUGH THE REMOVAL OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS OF LAND HAS A MEASURABLE DEVALUATION TO THE LANDOWNER, THEY HAVE NO ATTAINABLE VALUE TO THE LANDTRUST. THERE IS NO MARKET OR MARKET VALUE FOR THE EASEMENTS IN THE HANDS OF THE LANDTRUST AND THE EASEMENTS IN FACT IMPOSE A FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE ORGANIZATION. EASEMENT DONORS, WHILE HELPING THE LANDTRUST SATISFY CONSERVATION OBJECTIVES, ACTUALLY IMPOSE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITES ON THE ORGANIZATION THROUGH THEIR ONGOING MONITORING REQUIREMENTS. THEREFORE, EASEMENTS ACQUIRED BY THE LANDTRUST (WHETHER PURCHASED OR DONATED) ARE ACCOUNTED AS "ZERO VALUE" ASSETS AND ARE, THEREFORE, NOT REFLECTED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. |
