Once any questions and/or concerns are addressed, the Management Committee recommends approval to the full Board. A copy is posted to a secure on-line site for the full Board to review. The full Board approves the Form 990 pending a 1-2 week comment period. After the waiting period the Form 990 will be filed electronically. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c On an annual basis, all members of the Board of Directors must complete and sign a Conflict of Interest Acknowledgement and Annual Disclosure Statement. The statement requires the member to identify any financial interests, compensation arrangement, and services that the member or member's immediate family receives from the agency. The member must leave the committee or board meeting while the determination of conflict is discussed and voted upon. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15b An independant consultant was procured to update the agency's compensation policies and salary schedules. The consultant completed a detailed pricing analysis using data from multiple salary reporting sources. All of the positions within the organization were then ranked relative to others within the organization. The following compensation philosophy was adopted: to compensate employees fairly and equitably based on external market data and internal value. The consultant developed new salary structures, reviewed each position based on external market value and internal parity to develop recommended grading. The consultant then worked with the Executive Team to develop updated compensation procedures. Two compensation committees were established. The Management Committee of the Board of Directors will recommend to the Board all salary grade changes, job description changes and/or new job descriptions developed for the CEO and for all employees reporting directly to the CEO. The Operations Compensation Committee is comprised of the agency's CEO and the Vice President of Human Resources, Vice President of Operations and Vice President of Finance. The committee will approve any changes to the existing Compensation Procedure, all promotions and/or salary grade changes for existing positions as well as grading for any newly created positions. The Agency's Salary Structure was approved by the Board of Directors in the prior fiscal year and was left the same for the current fiscal year. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The unaudited financial statement is included in our annual report that is made available to the public at our annual meeting and is also available on the Agency's website.
