335.3 Local SEFA committees.
(a) Local SEFA committees shall:
(1) be comprised of representatives of:
(i) State employee participants;
(ii) the federated community campaign; and
(iii) other federations of charitable organizations and unaffiliated participant organizations;
(2) be made up of a minimum of three employee participants that represent employee bargaining units and/or management in that SEFA region. In order to maximize the representation on SEFA committees, each bargaining unit should be given the opportunity for representation on its local SEFA committee on an annual basis, provided that such representatives are selected under by-laws adopted pursuant to this section. Only State employee participants may cast a vote with respect to decisions of the local SEFA committee;
(3) adopt a written conflict of interest policy for conducting business and meetings;
(4) adopt by-laws that shall include, at a minimum, the term of office for local SEFA committee members; provisions for the removal of committee members for cause; and provisions for the election of a chairperson, public notice of its meetings, meetings being open to the public, and a procedure for public access to records, and compliance with the Public Officers Law;
(5) approve the federated community campaign's plan for performing or supporting SEFA campaign services within the campaign area over the next campaign term;
(6) conduct eligibility screenings and make decisions regarding the eligibility of all charitable organizations that have timely applied for participation solely in its campaign area pursuant to section 335.6 of this Part. Approval of any application requires a majority vote of the local SEFA committee or statewide SEFA council, in absence of a local committee. Action by the committee on applications will be made within the time required by the statewide SEFA council. The failure of a local SEFA committee to act within the time required shall be deemed to be an approval of the application by the local SEFA committee;
(7) approve local SEFA campaign materials including publicity for use within the campaign area but excepting the campaign directory and pledge form. Local SEFA campaign materials shall be free of excessive or disproportionate publicity in favor of any one participant or federation of charitable organizations or category of service and shall include the disclosures required by article 7-A of the Executive Law. To promote efficiency, SEFA campaign materials are to be digitally published, whenever practicable, and printed SEFA campaign material shall be minimized;
(8) oversee the federated community campaign's distribution of charitable contributions pursuant to section 335.10 of this Part; and
(9) review the financial reports of the campaign and compare the financial reports to the budget.
(b) The local SEFA committee may approve or reject the budget submitted by the FCCM as required by section 335.7(c)(4) of this Part. A budget approved by a local SEFA committee shall provide for reimbursement of the FCCM for budgeted administrative costs and for assessment to the statewide SEFA council. A SEFA campaign's administrative costs not approved in the budget, but related to the exercise of the federated community campaign's responsibilities or statewide SEFA council’s, may be approved by the local SEFA committee and reimbursed to the federated community campaign, provided that such reimbursement does not exceed the limit set forth in section 335.10(d) of this Part.
