Title
Creating Section 4.29 of the Madison General Ordinances relating to affiliated organizations for the City of Madison.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: There are a number of non-profit organizations that raise funds for City operations, such as the Library Foundation or the Parks Foundation. The City has no codified policies regarding operation of these entities, and this ordinance is to create some minimal rules. The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has standards that require the City to include some of these affiliated organizations (AO) in its annual financial statements as a component unit if the AO meets certain GASB criteria. Under this ordinance, AOs must have articles of incorporation and bylaws, must register with the City Clerk’s office, and must manage their own funds. The ordinance also establishes rules for gifts to the City.
