“Procedures for addressing possible conflicts of interest: a) an interested person may make a presentation at a meeting of the board of directors or committee; however, they must leave during the discussion of and vote on the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest; b) the chair of the board of directors or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement; c) after exercising due diligence, the board of directors or committee shall determine whether CCLR can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest; d) if a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under the circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the board of directors or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the arrangement or transaction is in the best interest of CCLR, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.”

“The compensation of the executive director is subject to review and approval of the board of directors. The board of directors takes into account the following factors when determining the appropriate compensation level: 1) comparison of proposed compensation to comparable positions or comparable organizations within the same geographic region; 2) review of the recent job performance of the executive director. The board of directors designates the executive committee to conduct the above review and provides the board of directors with its findings and recommendations. The board of directors then deliberates and votes on the proposed compensation.”
