As such, they are able to vote in the board members for the year. We must reach a majority vote. This vote is done by electronic means every fall when we begin our season. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b This is the first year that we have needed to file the 990 rather than the 990EZ form due to being just over the threshold for gross revenue. As such we did not have a policy in place. In the future this will be presented to the board before filing at a monthly Board meeting. This will be presented after filing at a monthly board meeting. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c When a situation arises, such as voting for the budget which includes compensation for certain board members, the board member in question recuse themselves from the room during the vote, then return when the vote is completed. It is rare to non-existent that we have encountered another form of conflict of interest. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 This is determined at our annual budget meeting and is based on current forecast for revenue ensuring that we will have an amount set aside for unexpected expenses and still reach a balanced budget. Every paid person is paid well below national average. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Because this is our first year filing the 990 form instead of the 990 EZ, we have not done this in the past but if requested, forms were shared with donors. Moving forward, we will have a link to these documents on our website page that is titled "Support CCC" Due to the change from the 990EZ to the 990, considerable additional effort was needed. The change was not initially clear and thus it was delayed. This should not happen in the future as things are in place to make it easier next year.
