They either identify no conflicts or list conflicts for the following topics: 1.) Outside interests, including sales of goods and purchases by CAB, 2.) Investments, 3.) Outside activities, such as involvement with organizations that work with or support CAB, 4.) Consultation services, 5.) Gifts, Gratuities and Entertainment, and, 6.) Inside information.

“The cab board conducts a wage and salary survey on a periodic basis. Using the compensation and benefit survey published regularly by the center for nonprofit management, a salary range is established for each cab position. This will next be conducted in 2016. All employees must earn a salary within the newly established range and may be granted an increase based on merit and/or cost of living adjustment(cola), depending on budgetary resources, where their salary level is within the new range. The executive directors review is on an annual basis alternating between a full review with staff and key community stakeholder input one year and a self-evaluation and key accomplishments review the next year. All other employees reviews are on an annual basis. The board annually establishes the range of annual merit or cola available, if any. If the increase is based on merit, it is awarded the employee based on a performance review on their anniversary date. If the increase is a cola, it is awarded automatically on the employees anniversary date. The cab personnel committee conducts the evaluation process for the executive director and reports to the full cab board. The executive director evaluation is approved by the full cab board. All other cab employees are evaluated by their supervisor.”

“Dislosure of governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request.”
