“Compensation is determined and paid by a related party, Denver Health & Hospital Authority. For all Authority Employees, there is an annual wage survey that is performed. The authority adjusts non-medical provider positions to be at 50% of the metropolitan area benchmark for comparable positions. This wage survey determines compensation of the various positions, including the top management positions of the authority. For the officers/directors of the organization who are also employed by the authority, the salary survey results are brought to a personnel compensation committee of the authority's board who review and document the survey results and make the final recommendation regarding those salaries. AUTHORITY PROVIDES MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO THE ORGANIZATION WITHOUT CHARGE. THE AMOUNT FOR THESE SERVICES RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE $87,884 IN 2016.”
