“The organization has members.”

“The members of the organization elect the board of directors by written ballot. Members of the board of directors shall serve for three years. Their terms of office shall be arranged so that the terms of three directors shall expire each year. Each year three directors are elected.”

“The organization may not incur indebtedness in excess of 5,000 at any time unless a greater sum is authorized by a resolution adopted by 2/3 vote of the members present in person at a regular meeting of the membership or at a special meeting of the membership called for that purpose. The foregoing action may also be taken by the members by written ballot per the by-laws.”

“The ccspca does not have any standing committees other than a nominating committee. The other committees are ad hoc and are not authorized to act on behalf of the board of directors. However, annually an audit committee is formed to review the audit report and meet with the auditors. The audit report is also presented to the board of directors. Similarly a finance committee reviews the monthly financial statements as well as the performance of the organization's investments. Any recommendations are brought to the board of directors for approval and action. Formal minutes are not maintained by these committees.”

“The draft form 990 is provided to each board member prior to filing, either via email or other methods. Any questions or concerns are resolved by the board of directors prior to submission of the form 990 to the irs.”

“When any construction project or other major event is undertaken the best interests of the ccspca are considered first. Any issues are reviewed and approved by the board of directors and are put in the minutes. The board monitors and reviews policies at board meetings as needed. Employees are required to notify in writing any instances that could give rise to conflicts. The executive director & human resources manager review and monitor any potential employee conflicts of interests on a regular basis.”

“The board of directors sets the compensation for the executive director. There have only been three executive directors since the inception of the organization. Compensation is determined bythe board of directors utilizing a compensation survey over the web,comparables from other non-profit agencies and various other sources.the executive director has the discretion to set the compensation for the senior staff based on comparative industries and the local environment.”

“The ccspca provides copies of their governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements to anyone who requests it.”

“Other services provided include educating school aged children on pet responsibility and safety with animals in all 33 school districts in fresno county and other central valley locations. We teach many classes for free, including dog bite prevention, pet responsibility, animal careers, dog training, spay/neuter awareness and how to help animals. We offer multiple educational opportunities such as touring classes, special meeting presentations, safety classes for professionals, creative events, service learning projects, and many other special animal related requests from the community. The ccspca and our pet placement organizations (ppos) have sent many animals out of state for placement from canada to chicago to montana to oregon. 2,854 pets were transferred to ppos. We are an open door shelter - that means we accept every animal, every day, 365 days a year - even the ones whose health, age or personality aren't ideal.”
