Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b
The Director of Finance and Administration (Director of F & A) prepares a draft of the Form 990 and forwards to the Council's independent auditors, the Board Treasurer and Executive Director for review and approval. Any questions are discussed and resolved and the Director of F & A makes all changes and resubmits to the audit firm, the Board Treasurer and the Executive Director for final approval and signing. All responses and documentation of preparation of the Form 990 are maintained in the Director of F & A's office. The Form 990 is scheduled to be completed and submitted to the IRS by the filing deadline. If for any reason the Form 990 cannot be filed by the filing deadline the independent audit firm submits extension forms to the IRS and provides proof of extension filing to the Director of F & A and/or Executive Director. Board review of the IRS Form 990 is performed by the Board Treasurer prior to filing the form with the IRS. Final copies of the Form 990 are distributed via e-mail to all Board members. If there are any major discrepancies noted or changes requested by the Board Treasurer, the Executive Director, independent auditors, Director of F & A or any board member an amended return will be filed. The Council's Form 990 will be available upon request to those who require it.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c
The policy recognizes that a conflict of interest may exist whenever the personal or professional interest of a director or officer are potentially at odds with the Council's. The policy has in place mechanisms that identify and resolve matters to ensure that any such transactions are in the best interest of the Council, over and above the interest of the Interested Party where the Interested Party is a director, officer or an immediate family member of a director or officer. A conflict of interest is defined as when actions, contracts, transactions or other dealings between the Council and an Interested Party or a Related Party (defined as any party, group or organization to which an Interested Party has an allegiance or affiliation) may result in a personal benefit to the Interested Party. A conflict of interest may also exit when an Interested Party serves as director, officer or staff member of an organization which competes with the Council or when an Interested Party or Related Party aids, financially or otherwise, such competing organization. Upon election or appointment as an officer or director, all officers and directors shall disclose any relevant interest of an Interested Party or Related Party as they related to such director or officer which may pose a potential conflict of interest. Such disclosure must be updated annually. The incoming officer or director will be provided with a copy of the conflict of interest policy. This disclosure statement is updated at least annually. If any question arises in the mind of any director or officer of the Council as to a potential conflict between his or her own individual interest, those of an immediate family member or those of a Related Party and the interest of the Council, full disclosure of all facts pertaining to the potential conflict shall be made to the Board of Directors. Fact-gathering and subsequent review by the Board will determine whether or not an actual conflict exists or would occur. The potential conflict of interest will be addressed by the Council Board as follows: The Board of Directors of the Council shall investigate the potential conflict; The director/officer to whom the potential conflict relates shall not attempt to influence other Directors regarding the matter; The director/officer to whom the potential conflict relates may offer factual information to the Board or Committee, but no director/officer shall vote on their own matter although they may participate in the discussion regarding their exclusion; The Board shall also determine whether or not it can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not be a conflict of interest. The discussion and outcome of the investigation and due diligence performed by the Board will be recorded in the minutes of the meeting of the Board or Committee and will include the names of the persons who disclosed or were found to have a financial interest in connection with the conflict, the names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection with the discussion.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
Compensation Policy - Working under the direction of the Council's Personnel Committee, the Council's Senior Staff updated the agency job classification framework and salary range guidelines over the course of almost a year overlapping 2007 and 2008. The approach involved (1) factoring in cost of living adjustments for the eight year period since the previous salary review; (2) updating and standardizing job descriptions; (3) clustering jobs in five to six salary ranges; (4) determining the clusters through a standardized rating of accepted job factors: knowledge problem-solving, supervision, latitude of decision-making impact, external contacts/relationships, policy involvement and scope of activity. Once defined by the Personnel Committee, the process was carried out by Senior Staff which consisted at that time of the Executive Director, Associate Executive Director, Director of Administration and Personnel, Controller, Director of Employer and Parent services, Institute of School Age Child Care Director, Director of Registration, Director of Health Services, Director of Professional Development and Director of Community Education. Consensus was reached by Senior Staff on the job factor rating of each job description and the arrangement of all rated job descriptions into six clusters with salary ranges for each, intended to be guidelines subject to the availability of funding. The new salary scale guidelines were used to make some initial salary adjustments in 2008 and since then, to guide salaries offered at hiring. In the past five years, funding reductions have made it impossible to provide any salary increases for Council employees. The Council's salary guidelines have not been reviewed again since their adoption because base salaries have been frozen since that time, due to cuts in government contracts and an overall reduction in revenues.
