“The Cooperative is divided into 7 districts. The members are allowed to vote for the election of a director to represent each district.”
“Cooperative members are allowed to vote on proposed by-law changes during the annual membership meeting.”
“The Form 990 is prepared by the Cooperative's independent auditor. It is presented to the General Manager and the Accounting Manager for review and approval before filing.”
“Directors and employees are made aware of the need to disclose potential conflicts of interest upon starting. If there was ever concern about a conflict, the Manager would discuss the matter with the board member in question, then decide if further discussion with the rest of the Board was necessary.”
“Salaries are reviewed by management and the Board using comparable data from others in the industry. Management and the Board also take into consideration the Cooperative's economic situation and other pertinent data.”
“Manager initially proposes wages (except his own salary) to our Board, the Board approves the final amount, references such as annual survey information from AIEC about other coop's wages are utilized for comparison for some positions.”
“Bylaws are offered to all new members; all other documents are avilable at any time upon request.”
“Changes in Memberships = $145”

“The instructions to the 2019 Form 990 indicate that organizations exempt under Section 501 (c)(12) should report "patronage dividends paid" to their members in Part IX, Line 4 of the Form 990. The Cooperative has interpreted the words "patronage dividends paid" in the instructions to mean margins that are assigned or assignable to the members. The Cooperative assigns the net margins to its members each year. therefore, the amount listed in Part IX, LIne 4 represents the net margins assignable to the members for the calendar year ended December 31, 2019.”
“An evaluation of whether or not it has any uncertain tax positions is determined on an annual basis by the Cooperative. While the Cooperative believes it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be different than the positions taken by the Cooperative. The Coooperative recognizes any interest and penalties in income tax expense and, with few exceptions, is no longer subject to federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for year before 2016.”
