This discussion is after the 990 is submitted to the irs and usually takes place at the next board meeting. It is facilitated by the board treasurer and/or the ymca's auditor, who also discusses the audited financial reports.”

“We utilize an online conflict of interest questionnaire each year to find out whether any board member or key staff member has a conflict of interest. The questionnaire asks board and staff members to disclose existing conflicts and reminds them to disclose any that may crop up in the future. A report is compiled that is referred to as needed. The board president is apprised of any conflicts that exist. The ceo attends all board and committee meetings to ensure compliance with these guidelines.”

“Miscellaneous revenue was more than usual in 2019. We had two insurance claims that resulted in $45,000 of miscellaneous revenue. Due to a severe snow storm (very unusual for our region), we lost power for an extended period of time, and before it could be prevented, the basement flooded, damaging pool pumps and other pool equipment ($30,000). In the fall, a compromised driver lost control of his small pickup truck and crashed into our building, destroying some supports, a wall, and interior cupboards ($15,000). The proceeds from the claims were used to repair or replace damaged equipment, supports, wall, and cupboards.”

“The difference in savings and temporary cash investments and in pledges receivables from the beginning of the year to the end of the year is attributable to the accomplishment of and payments for the remainder of phase 1 of a capital construction and remodel project that was completed in 2019 with the exception of replacement of our parking lot, which will be accomplished in the summer of 2020. The project included the replacement of our locker rooms and north pool, along with several smaller upgrades and updates.”

“We provided community programs free to the community to enhance healthy living. These include ymca healthy kids day, offered at our two locations, which attracted over 400 participants. In the summer we conducted our annual kick-start douglas county, 100 days of free healthy activities such as zumba in the park, walking groups, tai chi, community swimming, and yoga for over 2,000 people of all ages and abilities. We offered enhance fitness, an evidence-based group exercise program for older adults that uses simple, easy-to-learn movements that motivate individuals, particularly those with arthritis, to stay active throughout their life. Ymca staff regularly work with community partners to provide blood pressure screenings, alzheimer's education and health fairs. With the support of the douglas county aging and disability resources connection and architrave health, the ymca has developed effective, sustainable strategies to promote healthy lifestyles throughout the county for people living with chronic diseases such as arthritis and parkinson's disease. Our popular indoor family play gym gives parents with kids 0 - 7 a safe and fun place to exercise, play together, and meet and spend time with friends.”

“We served over 1,500 youth in our youth sports, swim team, swim lessons, child/parent classes (giggles & wiggles), and martial arts programs. Our high quality, affordable childcare for wee ones and school age children provides a safe, enriching and educational environment for over 200 youth and provide needed support for working families. Through our partnership with smart reading and the umpqua reading council, we encourage youth to read for a minimum of 30 minutes per day in order to combat summer reading loss. An innovative teen music lab provides free music lessons and group playing experience to middle school and high school youth, and our lego robotics programs in roseburg and south county are magnets for kids to participate and in addition give them an opportunity to receive healthy snacks and meals.”

“(continued from form 990, part iii, 4c) future generations to thrive. We conducted our annual ymca water safety day at the neighboring community park, giving away 285 lifejackets, a dozen sets of free swim lesson gift certificates, and instruction to parents and guardians about how to keep their kids safe in, on and around the water. At schools, churches, businesses and other organizations in the roseburg area, we offer free darkness to light child sexual abuse prevention training to raise awareness of the prevalence and consequences of child sexual abuse by educating adults about the steps they can take to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to the reality of child sexual abuse. Working as a leader of the "respect for water committee," we were instrumental in getting a temperature sensor installed in the north umpqua river that provides live temperature readings which are posted on the ymca and local media websites to help keep people safe at the popular river spots in our area. In 2019 we provided a total of $41,657 in direct financial assistance to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate in ymca programs, memberships, and services.”
