ExplanationThe Library's lobbying activity consists of coordinated efforts at the City and State levels to portray the Library in the best possible light to ensure continued funding for its operations and programs. The Library lobbies the Executive branch of the State government and individual members of the State senate and assembly to ensure that it gets adequate funding from the State Department of Education, to seek funding for special capital initiatives and for member items for programs at the branch level. In Addition, it lobbies the Executive branch of the New York City government, members of the City Council and the New York City Mayor's office to ensure that the Library is adequately funded for its operations and capital projects. The Library hired various consultants to facilitate the grant process with the various government agencies and direct contact with various legislators.Explanation

ExplanationLINE 4 On May 17, 2011, the Board of Trustees of Brooklyn Public Library voted to amend the Bylaws to create the two new positions of "President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO)" and "Director of The Library and Chief Librarian." These two new positions replaced the positions of "Executive Director" and "Deputy Director of Public Service," respectively. LINE 7A In acccordance with the Library's by-laws the governing board (Trustees) has the authority to manage and control the affairs of the Library. The board of trustees shall consist of no more than thirty eight members. By virtue of their respective offices the Mayor of the City of New York, the Comptroller of the City of New York, the Speaker of the City Council of the City of New York and the President of the Borough of Brooklyn are Ex-Officio Trustees of the Library. Each Ex-Officio may appoint a representative to serve on his or her behalf as a member of the board. Each representative appointed by an Ex-Officio shall be counted as part of the quorum, may vote and have all the same rights and privileges of the Ex-Officio or any other member of the Board, except in cases where this is prohibited by law. The Mayor of the City of New York and the President of the Borough of Brooklyn may each appoint eleven Trustees to hold offices for a term of three years or until their resignation or their successor is appointed. LINE 11A The Tax Returns are prepared by management, with the assistance of the auditors, EisnerAMPER LLP. Once a final draft of the Tax Returns are received from the external auditors, the Director of Finance and Controller conduct a first level review with the Chief Financial Officer. Pending any amendments or corrections, the Chief Financial Officer, Director of Finance and Controller, then review the packet with the Executive Director. After reviewing the draft with the Executive Director, the Draft of the Tax Returns are forwarded to the members of Audit and Finance Committees in preparation for a formal review at a joint meeting of the Audit and Finance Committees attended by the external auditors, senior members of the Library's executive team along with the CFO, Director of Finance and Controller. At this meeting, staff reviews the reports with the attendees. Questions are fielded and if necessary, corrections are made. Once the review is completed, the members of the Audit Committee vote to accept the report and to recommend acceptance by the full Board of Trustees. The report (amended if required) is then forwarded to the full Board for their review and final acceptance. The complete report is included as pre-read materials in the Board meeting packet. The Audit Committee chair presents the report to the full Board, highlights the contents and recommends final acceptance. If there are no corrections or amendments, the Board of Trustees votes to accept the IRS Forms 990, 990-T, New York State Forms CHAR 500, CT 13 and any other tax forms as presented. Once this process is complete, the Form 8453 is signed by the Chief Financial Officer. The Forms 990 and 8453 are then electronically filed to the IRS by the external auditors. The Library manually files the Forms 990T and New York State Forms CHAR 500 and CT 13. LINE 12C The Library has a conflict of interest policy which is signed annually by every member of the Board of Trustees and key (senior) members of the Library's management team. A copy of the Library's conflict of interest policy can be obtained from Library's website at http://www.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/pdf/about/ConflictInterest.pdf for review and signature. LINE 15 The salary of the Interim Executive Director (an at will employee) was negotiated by the compensation committee, of the Board of Trustees. The salaries of the other officers and key employees are based on information derived from data from a compensation study of comparative organizations (public libraries, cultural organizations and not for profit institutions). LINES 18 and 19 Conflict of Interest Policy The Library has a conflict of Interest policy for members of the Board of Trustees and key members of staff. This policy is available for review on the Library's intranet, Trustee website and the Library's public website. Financial statements It is the policy of the Library to make its financial statements, 990 and 990T available to the public upon request. Copies of its most recent audited financial statements are posted on its website and available to the public at the following link: http://brooklynpubliclibrary.org/financials.jsp Copies are also available upon request from the Finance Department. FORM 8868 - APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE FOR AN EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WAS PAPER FILED.Explanation
