St Lukes Community Development Corporation - Pmc

“According to the bylaws of chi st. Luke's community development corporation - pmc, the entity's sole member is st. Luke's health system corporation, a related exempt organization.”

“The sole member of the organization is st. Luke's health system corporation. The board of directors consists of not less than four elected members, all of such members to be elected by st. Luke's health system corporation, a related exempt organization.”

“The return was made available to the officers and directors before filing. Subsequent to the return being provided to the board, the tax department files the return with the appropriate federal and state agencies, making any non-substantive changes necessary to effect e-filing. Any such changes are not re-submitted to the board.”

“The organization has a conflicts of interest ("coi") policy (the "policy") in place to maintain the integrity of its activities. The policy applies to the following persons ("covered persons"): members of the commonspirit health ("commonspirit") board of stewardship trustees and its committees; commonspirit health corporate officers; members of the dignity health board of stewardship trustees and its committees. In addition, the policy applies to organizations that were affiliates and subsidiaries of commonspirit health prior to its affiliation with dignity health ("chi entities"). Covered persons of chi entities include: members of any chi entity direct affiliate or subsidiary board and their committees; employees of chi entities; and chi entity researchers (as defined by the policy). Disclosure, review and management of perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interest are accomplished through a defined coi disclosure review process. All covered persons are required to disclose actual or potential conflicts and must disclose that conflict to his/her direct manager (or other person as is appropriate per policy). Such disclosure is required on a transactional basis at the time such conflicts arise, when an individual becomes a covered person (e.g. Upon hiring or board appointment), and annually thereafter. Disclosures of perceived, potential or actual conflicts are initially reviewed by national or regional legal or corporate responsibility team members to determine whether an actual or potential conflict may exist. If it is determined that a potential or actual conflict exists, issues are elevated to the board executive committee or board chair (for board or officer conflicts), or the conflicts of interest review committee (for any other conflict). The procedures for addressing a conflict related to a proposed transaction in the case of governing bodies or a corporate officer include, but are not limited to 1) disclosure to the board, 2) the trustee or corporate officer being excused from the meeting during discussion and vote on the conflict of interest (although he or she may respond to pertinent questions if the knowledge is relevant), and 3) board approval of the transaction by a majority of disinterested members. In addition, boards carefully review and scrutinize any non-transactional conflicts of interest. In such circumstances, by a majority vote of the disinterested trustees, the board takes whatever action is deemed appropriate. For conflicts not involving a board member or officer, the conflicts of interest review committee ("c-circ") will facilitate a coi management plan to mitigate the conflict if adequate controls aren't already in place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at its sole discretion, an entity may reject a person's request to enter into the relationship in question, or require the relationship be sufficiently altered to avoid a potential conflict of interest.”

“During the tax year ended 6/30/2020, no officers, directors or trustees received compensation from the organization. Any executive compensation paid to officers, directors or trustees by related organizations was set by the related organization's compensation committee utilizing both an independent consultant and comparability studies to determine compensation. Therefore, these questions are more appropriately answered as n/a.”

“The organization's financial statements, conflict of interest policy and governing documents are available to the public upon request. The organization's financial statements are included in commonspirit health's consolidated audited financial statements that are available at www.commonspirit.org.”

The human resources and compensation committee approves, consistent with the organization's philosophy and principles, the annual performance goals and criteria to be used in determining merit increases and variable compensation criteria for officers and key executives. The human resources and compensation committee also engages outside legal counsel as necessary and qualified independent compensation and benefits specialists (independent experts) to review, analyze and provide benchmarking data for the total compensation and benefits packages of officers and key executives. Appropriate comparable data is obtained from the independent experts, (e.g., total economic benefits paid by similarly situated organizations, both taxable and tax-exempt, for similar job responsibilities). Key deliberations of the committee are documented in meeting minutes which are approved at the next committee meeting and provided to the board of stewardship trustees. The documentation of the deliberations includes (a) the terms of the agreement approved and the date approved; (b) the members of the committee who were present during discussion of the approved agreement and those who voted on it; and (c) the comparability data obtained and relied upon by the committee and how the data was obtained.”
