Jefferson Center for Mental Health

“For 990 purposes, the board of county commissioners of jefferson county is a member of the organization. Four of the non-commissioner directors are appointed by the board of county commissioners of jefferson county.”

“The 990 is prepared by a third party preparer and reviewed by the cfo, finance director, the board finance committee, and the board of directors prior to filing with the irs.”

“Directors, officers and key employees are covered under the organization's conflict of interest policy. If an employee intends to enter into private practice in addition to continued employment with the center, he/she must comply with the center's policy on private practice. Jcmh employees may not engage in private practice that would be in direct competition with the center's lines of business. This would include working for a competitor, signing contracts with a competitor, and having a private practice within the center's service area. The policy on private practice may be obtained from the human resources department. Further, the center may not contract with any organization or agency in which a center employee has a financial interest. Any exception must have the approval of the president and ceo or designee. At the beginning of each fiscal year, each director shall sign a statement denying any conflict of interest with the business of the jcmh or specifically listing any possible conflicts of interest. Any director aware of an undeclared conflict of interest, or misrepresented interest on the part of a director, will be responsible for bringing the issue to the attention of the board for potential action. A director who is personally, professionally and/or monetarily interested in a contract with jcmh shall declare a possible conflict of interest prior to any discussion, shall not participate in the discussion of, and shall abstain from voting on, matters for which they have declared a conflict of interest. A director who has declared a conflict of interest with regard to an issue will not be counted for a quorum for voting on that issue.”

“The president and ceo's salary is annually reviewed by the board vice chair and a subcommittee of the board which includes the board chair, vice chair, and treasurer. The board compared executive level compensation of other area ceos in comparable sized mental health centers. Compensation surveys and decisions are documented appropriately. A similar process is performed for other officers and key employees, with the review being performed by the board chair and vice chair.”

“The governing documents, financial statements, and conflict of interest policy are made available to the public upon request.”
