Union Rescue Mission

“The organization does not have a committee with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“The mission's board of directors designates the members of the audit & finance committee (a&fc) to review the form 990 before filing with the internal revenue service. The a&fc is provided the form 990 for review and then meets to discuss any questions or changes. Then, the reviewed form 990 is submitted to the full union rescue mission (urm) board of directors prior to their meeting. At the urm's board of directors meeting, the a&fc reports that they reviewed the form 990 and recommends approval by the urm board of directors for filing. An approval vote is then taken and recorded during the meeting. The form 990 is then filed with the irs.”

“Signed compliance statements are submitted by the members of the urm board of the directors and all employees of urm attesting to full compliance with the mission's written policy and to disclose in a timely basis any potential conflicts of interest. Any potential conflicts of interest are reviewed by the ceo and human resources for employees, and the board chair for the officers and board members. Violations of the policy are grounds for disciplinary action up to and including discharges of staff or dismissal of a director.”

“The ceo's compensation is set by a vote of the independent board of directors on which the ceo does not sit. The compensation is reviewed annually by the board's executive compensation committee in comparison to salary and benefit data for ceo's of non-profit organizations of similar size and complexity. Any adjustment deemed necessary is recommended to the full board of directors for action. The total compensation of the cfo and other senior management employees may be adjusted by the ceo with input from the vice president of human resources. For comparable market data, the mission uses published salary guides for similar organizations in conjunction with budgets approved by the board of directors.”

“All governing documents, conflict of interest policy, the form 990 and the financial statements are available to the public by requesting a copy via email or phone. The contact person is celena juarez at 545 south san pedro street, los angeles, ca 90013, [email protected], or (213) 347-6300. Within 72 hours, all requests will be filled.”

“Urm is participating in a joint agreement with the city of los angeles and county of los angeles called inside safe.”

“No processes have changed from the prior year.”
