Any noted infractions LCT will work with the landowner to resolve. Any compelling changes are to be documented in a Memorandum of understanding. When CR is accepted by the LCT, the goal is to recieve adequate funding for the ongoing stewardship/ enforcement. Part II, Line 9: Organization Reporting of conservation easements. Conservation Restrictions donated to LCT have no market value to the organization and are not considered support. Accordingly, no entry is made when a restriction is received. Costs to inspect and maintain the restrictions and conservation lands are material and are recorded as stewardship expenses. Part III, Line 1a: If organization elected under SFAS 116 to not report are, historical treasures, o LCT does not record conservation land in its balance sheet or P&L since it qualifies as a collection that is held for public exhibition, education and research in futherance of public service rather than financial gain. It is protected, kept unencumbered, cared for and preserved. Part III, Line 4: Description of organization's collections and how it furthers its purpose. LCT is a voluntary organization, receiving support from invdividuals, businesses and others, committed to protect and preserve Littleton's water, plants and wildlife resouces for the benefit of present and future generations of its residents. Its mission is carried out through land acquisition and stewardship in partnership with land owners and the Town of Littleton. CRs and fee interests are the main reason for our existance and must be cared for and maintained. Under GAAP, collections (fee interests and CRs) do not have to be capitalized because the maintenance standards and that the fee interests will never be sold, the interests are really liabilities to the organization regardless of the amounts deducted on donors tax returns when they make a contribution. Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund. The endowment funds and their income are used primarily for the stewardship of specific LCT conservation land and public education to further our mission.
