[SEMCO] Orleans Conservation Trust- Policies & Procedures Update

[Orleans Conservation Trust]

Policies and Procedures
(As of June 6, 2014)

The Board of the Orleans Conservation Trust has developed over a dozen policies 
and procedures since the founding of the Trust in 1970. A number of these policies
and procedures are "required" due to our status as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization,
specifically noted on the Form 990 Federal Tax return form (eg, the Conflict of 
Interest Policy, Whistleblower Policy, and Document Retention and Destruction Policy).
Others have been recommended by our financial advisors and/or our tax advisor (eg,
the Endowment Fund Policy, the Investment Policy and Investment Procedures, and 
the Cash Receipts and Disbursement Procedures).
Additional policies and procedures have been developed over time to provide guidance
on matters relating to the administration and operations of the Trust - to help 
standardize and formalize routine as well as non-routine procedures (eg, CR Amendments
Policy, Memorial Benches, Rocks and Trees Policy, and Vistas and Vegetation Policy).
Most recently, we have developed the "Nomination, Vetting and Election of Trustees
Policy and Procedures" and the "Retirement, Resignation, Removal and Replacement
 of Trustees Policy and Procedures".

At the recent Special Meeting of the member of the Trust (held on May 29, 2014),
 we committed to providing copies of the Trust's Policies & Procedures on our website
for your reference. Each document includes the date that it was approved by the 
Board. As noted previously, the "Nomination, Vetting and Election of Trustees Policy"
is still in draft form - pending Board approval.
