“Once the tax return has been prepared, a draft copy is provided to the organizations treasurer, who in turn reviews and shares the return information with the other board of directors. Edits and changes are suggested and agreed upon, and once those changes are incorporated, the final tax return is then submitted to the service.”
“As stated in the bylaws of the clarkston fire service area no. 6, article iii-board of trustees, section 6-code of ethics, the board of directors/trustees must avoid conflicts of interest, self-dealing, dishonesty and the appearanceof impropriety and as elected public officers, trustees must comply with the code of ethics in accodance with state law.”
“The governing documents are made available to anyone who requests to view the documents at our main location on clarkston road in three forks, montana. Should copies be requested, a nominal charge is collected to cover administrative costs.”
“The changes in net assets reflects adjustments made to reconcile the listing of fixed assets that had been in service prior to the establishment of the exempt status and accumulated depreciation calculations used in the submission of the form 1023 application. Upon further analysis, it appears that the depreciation calculated and presented in the original form 1023 applicatioin may have been overstated. This adjustment rectifies that miscalculation.”
“Other program expenses:license and permits $ 190.safety gear and equipment 10,137.training and education 710..other fundraising expenses:fundraising expenses $ 9,413..also, see schedule g, page 2, for a more detailed breakdown of the fundraising expenses.”
