| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 1 | AS OUTLINED BY THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, THE BLUE WATER LAND FUND'S BOARD IS APPOINTED BY THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION'S BOARD AND SHALL BE COMPRISED OF AN ODD NUMBER, NOT LESS THAN SEVEN AND NOT MORE THAN 15, AND THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION'S PRESIDENT SHALL BE A PERMANENT MEMBER. IN 2020, THE BOARD HAD 11 BOARD MEMBERS PLUS THE FOUNDATION'S PRESIDENT/CEO. OF THESE BOARD MEMBERS, ONE WAS A COMMON BOARD MEMBER WITH THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. THERE ARE A FEW INSTANCES, AS EXPLAINED BELOW, IN WHICH A BOARD MEMBER HAS OR MAY HAVE A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FOUNDATION OR ITS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS OR ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF BOARD MEMBERS, NO TWO BOARD MEMBERS TOGETHER COULD CONTROL NOR PLACE UNDUE INFLUENCE ON ANY BUSINESS OR ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED BY THE BOARD. ONE OF THE STRENGTHS OF OUR ORGANIZATION IS THAT ITS GOVERNANCE IS STRUCTURED TO ENGAGE KEY COMMUNITY LEADERS FROM ALL BUSINESS ASPECTS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS OF THE COUNTY AND THIS PHILOSOPHY IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH ITS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS. GIVEN THIS APPROACH, THERE INEVITABLY WILL BE SOME SITUATIONS WHERE A RELATIONSHIP MAY ARISE. IN EACH OF THESE INSTANCES, HOWEVER, THE FOUNDATION HAS TAKEN MEASURES TO MAINTAIN TRANSPARENCY, KEEP ANY TRANSACTION AT ARM'S-LENGTH, AND ENFORCE ITS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. ANNUALLY, ALL BOARD MEMBERS COMPLETE A DISCLOSURE OF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, INCLUDING SERVICE ON OTHER BOARDS, FAMILY, WHICH IS SUMMARIZED IN BOARD BOOKS AND ARE DISCLOSED VERBALLY AND IN MEETING MINUTES WHEN CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARISE. IN THEIR RESPECTIVE BUSINESSES, BOARD MEMBERS MAY HAVE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER BOARD MEMBERS WHETHER IT IS THROUGH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, LAW FIRM, ACCOUNTING FIRM ETC; HOWEVER, THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND ITS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS HAVE HAD NO INVOLVEMENT OTHERWISE WITH THE RESPECTIVE TO THOSE POTENTIAL RELATIONSHIPS. IN ALL OF THESE BUSINESS AND WORKING RELATIONSHIPS, EACH RESPECTIVE TRUSTEE WAS INDEPENDENTLY APPOINTED TO THE RESPECTIVE BLUE WATER LAND FUND OR COMMUNITY FOUNDATION BOARD BASED UPON HIS/HER RESPECTIVE SKILL SETS, EXPERIENCE, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND OTHER FACTORS AND THEIR ROLE AT THE FOUNDATION IS NOT IMPACTED BY THEIR WORKING RELATIONSHIPS. FOR THE REASONS OUTLINED IN THE INITIAL PARAGRAPHS OF THIS NARRATIVE, SIMILAR TO FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, THE FOUNDATION'S GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE, AND POLICIES AND PRACTICES ARE SUCH THAT NO TWO OR THREE TRUSTEES TOGETHER COULD SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCE BOARD ACTION AND FOUNDATION OPERATIONS. FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE BUSINESS AND OTHER RELATIONSHIPS THAT EXISTED IN 2020: 1) TWO LOCAL ATTORNEYS SERVE AS TRUSTEES ON THE BLUE WATER LAND FUND'S BOARD IN 2020, EACH IS A PARTNER AT LOCAL LAW FIRMS---DOUGLAS S. TOUMA AND TIMOTHY LOZEN. ALTHOUGH BLUE WATER LAND FUND, AND ITS SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION, THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, WOULD TYPICALLY ENGAGE THE SERVICES OF INDEPENDENT ATTORNEYS WHEN NECESSARY, IN THE CAPACITY OF TRUSTEE, THESE TWO TRUSTEES, GIVEN THEIR EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE, MAY FROM TIME TO TIME PROVIDE LEGAL COUNSEL ON GENERAL MATTERS SHOULD SUCH MATTERS ARISE. 2) IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF ST. CLAIR COUNTY, THE SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION FOR THIS BLUE WATER LAND FUND, INC. ORGANIZATION, CONTRACTS WITH THE COUNTY OF ST. CLAIR TO MANAGE THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS OF OUR BLUE WATER RIVER WALK PROPERTY HELD BY BLUE WATER LAND FUND. THREE COUNTY OF ST. CLAIR EMPLOYEES ---MICHAEL WENDLING AS PROSECUTING ATTORNEY, JUDGE MICHAEL HULEWICZ AS A DISTRICT JUDGE AND JUDGE JOHN TOMLINSON AS A PROBATE COURT JUDGE ---ARE BOARD MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION; HOWEVER, AS EMPLOYEES OF THE COUNTY'S COURT SYSTEM, THESE THREE INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT INVOLVED WITH THAT CONTRACT ARRANGEMENT NOR THE RELATED RESPONSIBILITIES. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF ST. CLAIR COUNTY'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES (SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION) MEET THE LAST TUESDAY OF EACH CALENDAR QUARTER AT A MINIMUM. THE BUSINESS AGENDA OF THESE BOARD MEETINGS INCLUDE A REVIEW OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INVESTMENT REPORTS THAT HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND ACCEPTED BY ITS FINANCE AND INVESTMENT COMMITTEE AT ONE OF THEIR MONTHLY MEETINGS. ANNUALLY, AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF ITS AUDIT COMMITTEE, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ENGAGE THE SERVICES OF AN INDEPENDENT AUDITING FIRM TO PERFORM AN AUDIT OF ITS FINANCIAL RECORDS AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR. ADDITIONALLY, AS PART OF THE ENGAGEMENT, THE AUDITING FIRM IS HIRED TO DRAFT THE ANNUAL FORM 990 FOR THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF ST. CLAIR COUNTY AND ITS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS, THE COMMUNITY RENAISSANCE FUND AND THE BLUE WATER LAND FUND; HOWEVER, COMMUNITY FOUNDATION STAFF ARE SIGNIFICANTLY INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS. MEMBERSHIP ON BOTH THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND THE FINANCE AND INVESTMENT COMMITTEE INCLUDE A NUMBER OF BOARD TRUSTEES AS WELL AS OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH FINANCIAL OR AUDIT EXERIENCE. ASIDE FROM MEETING WITH FOUNDATION MANAGEMENT, THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS MEET JOINTLY WITH BOTH THE FOUNDATION'S AUDIT COMMITTEE AND THE FOUNDATION'S FINANCE AND INVESTMENT COMMITTEE TO PRESENT THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REVIEW THE RESULTS OF ITS ANNUAL AUDIT. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CONSOLIDATED AUDIT REPORT IS PRESENTED TO AND REVIEWED BY THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AT ITS JUNE MEETING. DUE TO THE TIMING ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED LEVELS OF REVIEW OVER THE AUDIT REPORT, AN AUTOMATIC EXTENSION FOR FILING OF THE FORM 990 (FROM THE INITIAL MAY 15 DEADLINE) IS TYPICALLY REQUIRED. AFTER THE FINAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, THE FORM 990'S FOR ALL COMPANIES ARE DRAFTED BY THE INDEPENDENT AUDIT FIRM AND ITS TAX MANAGER, WITH THE DIRECT ASSISTANCE OF THE FOUNDATION'S DIRECTOR OF FINANCE. THE FINAL DRAFT OF THE FORM 990'S ARE REVIEWED BY THE FOUNDATION'S DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND THEN SIGNED BY THE FOUNDATION'S PRESIDENT AND CEO BEFORE FILING AND AFTER BOARD ACCEPTANCE. THE FORM 990'S (FOR THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND ITS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS) ARE DISTRIBUTED TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THEIR REVIEW PRIOR TO FILING. FOR THE SAKE OF TRANSPARENCY AND TIME-RELEVANCE, IT IS THE GOAL OF FOUNDATION MANAGEMENT TO FILE THE FORM 990'S AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IF A FORMAL REVIEW AT THE SCHEDULED BOARD OF TRUSTEE MEETING IS FEASIBLE WITHIN THE TIMEFRAME, FOUNDATION MANAGEMENT WILL DO SO, AND THE MEETING MINUTES WILL REFLECT THEIR FORMAL REVIEW. IF SUCH A FORMAL REVIEW WILL DELAY THE FILING UNNECESSARILY, FOUNDATION MANAGEMENT WILL DISTRIBUTE ELECTRONICALLY (OR IN HARD COPY) A COPY OF THE DRAFTED FORM 990'S FOR BOARD TRUSTEES' REVIEW. AN EXPLANATORY COVER LETTER WILL ACCOMPANY THESE FORM 990'S WITH REVIEW NOTES THAT "WALK" TRUSTEES THROUGH THE DOCUMENT AND CORRELATE THE RETURN BACK TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THIS COVER INCLUDES A REQUEST THAT TRUSTEES CONTACT THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE WITH ANY QUESTIONS AND/OR TO SCHEDULE INDIVIDUAL REVIEWS AS DEEMED NECESSARY. EACH BOARD TRUSTEE IS REQUESTED TO DOCUMENT THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF THE FORM 990S FORMALLY VIA A REPLY TO THE ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION, OR HARD COPY DISTRIBUTION. EVIDENCE OF BOARD OF TRUSTEE REVIEW AND APPROVAL WILL BE RETAINED IN THE FORM 990 FILES. UPON APPROVAL OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THE FORM 990'S WILL BE FILED. ELECTRONIC FILE VERSIONS OF THE FORM 990'S ARE THEN MADE AVAILABLE ON THE FOUNDATION'S WEBSITE (WWW.STCLAIRFOUNDATION.ORG), UPLOADED TO GUIDESTAR.ORG (A RESOURCE RELATIVE TO NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS), AND ARE ALSO AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST OR IN PERSON. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF ST. CLAIR COUNTY AND ITS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS (COMMUNITY RENAISSANCE FUND & BLUE WATER LAND FUND, INC.) HAVE A BOARD-APPROVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH SUCH POLICIES OF THE COUNCIL ON FOUNDATIONS AND THE COUNCIL OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS. ALL BOARD TRUSTEES, INCLUDING FOUNDATION OFFICERS, COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND STAFF MEMBERS MUST REVIEW THE POLICY ANNUALLY AND SIGN A STATEMENT WHICH AFFIRMS THAT THEY: A.) HAVE RECEIVED A COPY OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY; B.) HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE POLICY AS WELL AS THE NEED TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICY (GIVEN THAT THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION MISSION IS CHARITABLE AND IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ITS FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION IT MUST ENGAGE PRIMARILY IN ACTIVITIES WHICH ACCOMPLISH ONE OR MORE OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES); C.) HAVE LISTED ALL AREAS OF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST THAT EXIST AS OF THE DATE THEY ARE COMPLETING THE DISCLOSURE FORM, INCLUDING SERVICE ON OTHER NON-PROFIT BOARDS, FINANCIAL INTERESTS, AND FAMILY OR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS; AND D.) HAVE AGREED TO DISCLOSE OTHERS AS THEY MAY ARISE THROUGH THE YEAR, AND WHEN THE POTENTIAL FOR CONFLICT ARISES, AGREE TO VERBALLY DISCLOSE SUCH AREAS OF POTENTIAL CONFLICT AT ALL COMMITTEE/BOARD MEETINGS. IN 2011, THE FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED ADDITIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND DISCLOSURE CRITERIA FOR THE POSITION OF BOARD CHAIRMAN. THIS CRITERIA IS AN APPENDIX TO THE EXISTING POLICY. FOUNDATION MANAGEMENT REVIEWS THESE CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURES UPON RECEIPT, SUMMARIZES FOR THE BOARD AND INCLUDES IN BOARD BOOKS. THE DISCLOSURE FORMS ARE MAINTAINED ON FILE. IN CONDUCTING BOARD OR COMMITTEE BUSINESS, AN INTERESTED PERSON MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF ANY ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT, AND BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE ALL MATERIAL FACTS TO THE BOARD AND/OR COMMITTEE. AFTER DISCLOSURE, THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE, ALONG WITH STAFF, SHALL HAVE AN OPEN DISCUSSION AS TO THE MATERIAL NATURE OF THE POSSIBLE CONFLICT. AS DEEMED APPROPRIATE, THE INTERESTED PERSON MAY BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE ROOM DURING DISCUSSION AND VOTING, OR THE INTERESTED PARTY MAY REMAIN IN THE MEETING AND PART OF DISCUSSION YET ABSTAIN FROM VOTING ON ANY MOTION. THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE MAY, IF APPROPRIATE, ASK STAFF AND/OR OTHER VOLUNTEERS TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT SO THAT THE CONFLICT MAY BE AVOIDED. IF THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE HAS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT A MEMBER HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, IT SHALL INFORM THE MEMBER OF THE BASIS FOR SUCH BELIEF AND AFFORD THE MEMBER AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE ALLEGED FAILURE TO DISCLOSE. AFTER HEARING THE MEMBER'S RESPONSE AND AFTER MAKING FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE SHALL DETERMINE THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION TO AVOID ANY REAL OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT. SUCH ACTION MAY INCLUDE REVOKING OR CHANGING ANY PREVIOUS DECISION OR ACTION TAKEN PRIOR TO LEARNING OF THE CONFLICT. THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD AND COMMITTEES SHALL CONTAIN THE NAMES OF MEMBERS AND STAFF PRESENT AT THE MEETING, THE NAMES OF MEMBERS WHO HAVE A POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH THE ASSOCIATED GROUP, ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OR TRANSACTION FOR WHICH THE CONFLICT MAY EXIST, AND DOCUMENTATION AS TO WHAT ACTION WAS TAKEN IN REGARDS TO THE CONFLICT. |
