“The board is sent a draft of the 990 in advance of the regularly scheduled board meeting, at which time it is reviewed, questions are asked, and it is returned to the accountant. After the questions are answered and any final corrections are made, the board is sent the revised copy for final review and approval.”

“The board and executive director are required to annually submit a Conflict of Interest disclosure form. The forms are reviewed by the executive director and at least one board member, who then report the results of the review to the full board at one of its regularly scheduled meetings.”

“All governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are kept on file at the Urban Conservancy's physical address and are available upon request.”

“Each position at the Urban Conservancy has a formal job description, which includes the titles and duties of the position. These job descriptions are not intended to be all-inclusive, but to cover the major areas of responsibility. Salary ranges for each position are set by the executive director, and approved by the Board of Directors. The Urban Conservancy is committed to paying fair wages and benefits to its employees. Salaries and salary increases are based on both the UCs and the individual's performance, and the prevailing market conditions. Performance is measured against the employee's annual work plan. All pay changes are effective on the first day of the following full pay period. Retroactive pay changes may only be made with board approval.”
