Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aBylaws provide that the selection of the Board of Directors be determined as follows: 7 appointed by Governor; 7 appointed by NCC Executive; 7 appointed by Mayor; 6 appointed by the Board itself.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bDraft versions of the Form 990 are distributed to all members of the Governing Board for approval prior to filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cEach Director must complete a Conflict of Interest Policy Disclosure Statement upon his/her election to the Board and annually thereafter. Board members are required to acknowledge a potential conflict to the Board prior to entering into a transaction with the Bureau. The minutes of the Board meeting at which a disclosure of conflict is made shall reflect the occurrence and the outcome. The Executive Director monitors contracts and vendor payments for potential conflicts of interest and informs the Chairman of the Board. The Chairman then brings the potential conflict to the Board for discussion when deemed possibly material.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors oversees a national salary survey every year. The Committee also gathers local salary data to help establish current market values for the Bureau's salaried positions. The collected survey data supports a salary structure that aligns every position within a salary range. The Human Resources Committee reviews all salary rates including the Executive Director and then approves the rates of pay prior to budget approval for the next fiscal year.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 18Copies of Form 990 and documents related to the Bureau's tax exemption are held at the Bureau's offices and are available upon request.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19While the Bureau routinely provides copies of the audited financial statements when requested, it has never received a request for its conflict of interest policy or governing documents. Although there is no legal requirement that it do so, in the interest of transparency, requests of this nature will be evaluated by the Bureau and responded to on a case by case basis.
