“The conflict of interest policy applies to "covered persons," defined as any kcsarc director, officer, or member of any committee of kcsarc's board of directors that has authority to act on behalf of the board of directors. Every covered person shall complete an annual conflict of interest questionnaire. Each covered person shall sign a statement acknowledging that he or she has received a copy of this policy, has read and understands it, and agrees to comply with it. If the board of directors has reasonable cause to believe that a covered person has failed to comply with this policy, the board may counsel the covered person regarding such failure and, if the issue is not resolved to the board's satisfaction, may consider additional corrective action as appropriate.”

“Kcsarc compensation philosophy values both internal and external equity. Internally, all positions are graded based on knowledge, scope of decision-making, interpersonal skills, leadership, work independence, and creativity. We then look at key positions and compare salaries in the external market. The compensation grid is based on an industry standard with 12 job grades and 10% between each grade. We believe that we have a competitive compensation system which honors the value of the position in the general market as well as promoting equity within the agency. The kcsarc board of directors has used an independent review in order to set the executive director's compensation. This was last reviewed in 2012. The board of directors may review the compensation of the deputy executive director, however final decisions regarding compensation are in the purview of the executive director.”
