FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7A ALL ELECTIONS OF OFFICERS ARE BY WRITTEN BALLOT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING UNLESS, BY A MAJORITY VOTE, THE COUNCIL AGREES TO WAIVE THE PROVISION. A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE MEMBER BOARDS REPRESENTED AND VOTING ELECTS AN OFFICER. WHERE A MAJORITY VOTE HAS NOT BEEN OBTAINED ON A BALLOT, THE CANDIDATE RECEIVING THE LEAST NUMBER OF VOTES IS ELIMINATED PRIOR TO THE NEXT BALLOT. IF THERE IS A SINGLE NOMINEE FOR EACH OPEN OFFICE, THE SLATE OF NOMINEES MAY BE AFFECTED BY ACCLAMATION OF THE MEMBERSHIP WITHOUT A FORMAL VOTE. MEMBER BOARDS THAT ARE NOT REPRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING BY A DELEGATE SUBMIT THEIR VOTES FOR OFFICERS BY LETTER BALLOT. ALL LETTER BALLOTS MUST BE SENT IN A SEALED ENVELOPE SIGNED BY AN OFFICER OF THE BOARD AND RECEIVED AT THE CLARB OFFICE AT LEAST FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE START OF THE ANNUAL MEETING. LETTER BALLOTS ARE COUNTED ON THE FIRST BALLOT ONLY. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7B THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF THE MAJORITY OF THE MEMBER BOARDS REFRESENTED AT ANY MEETING OF THE COUNCIL IS REQUIRED TO PASS ANY RESOLUTION, EXCEPT TO AMEND THE BYLAWS. THE BYLAWS ARE AMENDED BY AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF THREE-FOURTHS OF MEMBER BOARDS VOTING AT AN ANNUAL MEETING WHERE A QUORUM IS PRESENT. ALL AMENDMENTS ADOPTED ARE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECEIVED A FINAL COPY OF THE RETURN BEFORE IT WAS FILED WITH THE IRS. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C CLARB REGULARLY AND CONSISTENTLY MONITORS AND ENFORCES COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AN INTERESTED PERSON DISCLOSES THE EXISTENCE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND IS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE ALL MATERIAL FACTS TO MEMBERS OF THE CLARB BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES WITH BOARD-DELEGATED POWERS CONSIDERING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY APPLIES TO STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS. PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST: A. AN INTERESTED PERSON MAKES A PRESENTATION AT THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE MEETING, BUT AFTER THE PRESENTATION, HE/SHE LEAVES THE MEETING DURING THE DISCUSSION OF, AND THE VOTE ON, THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT INVOLVING THE POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST. B. THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE, IF APPROPRIATE, APPOINTS A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. C. AFTER EXERCISING DUE DILIGENCE, THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE DETERMINES WHETHER CLARB CAN OBTAIN WITH REASONABLE EFFORTS A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT FROM A PERSON OR ENTITY THAT WOULD NOT GIVE RISE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. D. IF A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS NOT REASONABLY POSSIBLE UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES NOT PRODUCING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE DETERMINES BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS WHETHER THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS IN CLARB'S BEST INTEREST, FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT, AND WHETHER IT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE. IN CONFORMITY WITH THE ABOVE DETERMINATION, IT MAKES ITS DECISION AS TO WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. IF THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE HAS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE A MEMBER HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, IT INFORMS THE MEMBER OF THE BASIS FOR SUCH BELIEF AND AFFORDS THE MEMBER AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE ALLEGED FAILURE TO DISCLOSE. IF, AFTER HEARING THE MEMBER'S RESPONSE AND AFTER MAKING FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE FINDS THE MEMBER HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE BOARD TAKES APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A TO ENSURE CLARB OPERATES IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE AND DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES THAT COULD JEOPARDIZE ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, PERIODIC REVIEWS ARE CONDUCTED. THE PERIODIC REVIEWS, AT A MINIMUM, INCLUDE THE REVIEW OF WHETHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS AND BENEFITS ARE REASONABLE, BASED ON COMPETENT SURVEY INFORMATION, AND THE RESULT OF ARMS-LENGTH BARGAINING. IN ADDITION, THE CEO IS COMPENSATED BASED UPON AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT THAT IS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND IS RE-NEGOTIATED ON A PERIODIC BASIS.
