Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aEach member of the organization is allowed to elect four trustees to represent them. In addition, the members elect two trustees jointly. The trustees direct the management and operation of the corporation.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11Downstate Technology Center Inc. has its form 990 prepared by an outside accounting firm and has established the following review process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate. After the Form 990 has been prepared, reviewed by management and is ready to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service, it is presented to the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees for review. Any comments are then grouped, summarized and provided to the outside accountants. Each issue is documented and addressed until the return is finalized and approved for filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12The conflict of interest policy applies to directors, and officers of the organization. The conflict of interest policy is not updated annually. It is the responsibility of the board members to notify DTC of any potential conflicts as they arise. The Board of Directors will determine, based on the facts, if a conflict actually exists. If the Board determines that a conflict exists, the affected director shall abstain from voting on the matter. The affected director may participate in discussions on the matter in question only if asked for information by a majority of the remaining Board members. The affected director must withdraw from the meeting concerning the matter in question if requested by the remaining Board members. The minutes of the Board shall reflect the actions of the Board of Director and the affected director.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a and 15b Downstate Technology Center is related to SUNY Downstate Medical Center and the Research Foundation of SUNY, which pay employee salaries directly through their payroll departments. The costs for salary and fringe benefits are then charged back to DTC. Salaries are determined by class and compensation based on grade and position title.
