“Richard burud, general manager, is paid by federated rural electric association. Federated rural electric association is reimbursed according to a shared manager agreement by nobles cooperative electric for 50% of the general manager's total compensation. $106,639 was reimbursed by nobles cooperative electric in 2014 under this agreement.”
“Nobles cooperative electric is a rural electric cooperative owned by the members served.”
“Nobles cooperative electric has one class of members who may elect one or more members of the governing body.”
“There are no committees with broad authority to act on behalf of the governing board.”
“The form 990 is reviewed at a director board meeting prior to being filed.”
“Upon reviewing or discovering any information or fact that could impact a director's compliance with this policy, the board must: 1 - provide the director an opportunity to comment orally and in writing regarding the information or fact, and an opportunity to be represented by legal counsel; and 2 - determine whether the director complies with this policy. If the board determines that a director does not comply with this policy, then: 1 - the board must provide the director an opportunity to comply with this policy within thirty days and; 2 - if the director does not comply with this policy within thirty days, then, as allowed by law, the board must sanction, disqualify, and/or remove the director. Upon receiving or discovering any information or fact that could impact any other official's compliance with this policy, the board must act as appropriate or authorize the manager to act as appropriate.”
“Nobles cooperative electric and federated rural electric currently participate in a management services agreement for their general manager position. A management liaison committee is in place. This committee consists of three nobles directors and three federated directors, appointed by their respective boards. The committee meets as often as necessary to review and to make recommendations to the cooperatives' boards of directors regarding the general manager's compensation and benefits package and any other issues or problems that may arise in connection with the agreement. The process for the general manager was undertaken in 2014.”
“The organization makes these documents available upon request.”
“Included in other compensation is the estimated current year increase or decrease in the actuarial value of the defined benefit plan for the general manager. The current year increase or decrease does not represent current year contributions to the plan. Rather, it is an estimate of the increase or decrease in the actuarial value of the plan as calculated by the plan administrator.”
“Allocation of 2013 margins 1,846,148. Retirement of capital credits -673,999. Transfer to unallocated reserve -157,629. Increase in other equities 193,342.”
“The entire board of directors is responsible for the selection and oversight of the independent public accountant.”
“Benefits paid to or for members: the cooperative has interpreted the instructions to part ix, line 4, to mean patronage capital allocated for the year, rather than patronage capital retired. This is consistent with the bylaws of the cooperative.”
“The labor, pension and payroll taxes reported on lines 6-10 are included in distribution expense, administrative & general expense and customer expense. Therefore, labor, pension and payroll taxes are shown as a reduction to other expenses on line 24e.”
“Nobles cooperative electric collects trust contributions from its members on a monthly basis by rounding up electric bills to even dollar amounts for members who wish to participate in the program. These monies are held in a liability account until the monies are paid to the nobles-murrary rural electric trust.”
“The cooperative is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(12) of the internal revenue code. The cooperative is subject to income tax on its unrelated business income (ubi) and filed annually on federal form 990t. A provision for income taxes on unrelated business income of $18,472 and $14,960 is included with non-operating margins for the years ended december 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The cooperative has evaluated whether it was necessary to recognize any benefit from uncertain tax positions in currently open tax periods and determined that there are no material uncertainties within its filed tax returns. As of december 31, 2014 and 2013, the unrecognized tax benefit accrual was zero. The cooperative would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. Generally, the cooperative is no longer subject to federal or state tax examinations by tax authoritites for years before 2011.”
“Federal income tax expense 10,102. State income tax expense 8,369.”
“Allocation of 2014 margins - part ix line 4 benefits paid to or for members 1,846,148. Federal income tax expense 10,102. State income tax expense 8,369.”
