“The sole corporate member of the filing organization is mayo clinic.”

“The sole corporate member elects the governing body. One member is elected from a slate of nominees provided by the city council of lake city.”

“The bylaws provide the sole corporate member certain reserved powers in areas such as debt, amendment of the bylaws, mergers, and new services. Amendments of the articles of incorporation or bylaws must be approved by the sole corporate member.”

“The form 990 is prepared by mayo corporate tax with assistance from site accounting staff. The tax return goes through two levels of review within the corporate tax unit. It is then reviewed by the chief financial officer and finance staff. A copy of the form 990 is then provided to each member of the filing organization's governing body via us mail, e-mail, or distribution at a board meeting. All questions are addressed prior to filing the form 990.”

“Mayo clinic and its affiliates have a comprehensive conflict of interest policy applicable to all of the affiliated entities and to all directors, officers, and employees of those entities. All current and former officers, directors, trustees, key employees and highest compensated employees who we anticipate will be listed on a form 990 are asked to complete an "annual tax and compliance disclosure" form. This information is reviewed by both the corporate tax department and the office of conflict of interest review. All disclosures of current or proposed activity that require action under the policy are the subject of ongoing review and action through the office of conflict of interest review and the conflict of interest review board. Involved individuals are informed of all required action. Many types of relationships that could create conflicts of interest are prohibited. Other types of relationships are permitted subject to compliance with the management plan established by the conflict of interest review board. A common management strategy for permitted activities is to require bilateral recusal and appropriate documentation in the minutes of mayo clinic (and/or affiliate) and the outside entity. Additional conflict of interest policies and procedures exist for certain entities concerning research contracts and other types of potential conflicts.”

“The filing organization is an affiliate of mayo clinic. Mayo clinic and its affiliates have a coordinated process for reviewing and approving compensation and benefits for physicians and administrative leadership. In addition to any review and approval that may take place at the local entity level, the following independent approval process occurs annually in the fall for the next year's compensation. The salary of the board chairman and the corridor cao were reviewed by the mayo clinic health system compensation and benefits committee pursuant to the process described below for mayo clinic health system physicians and administrative leadership. The mayo clinic health system compensation and benefits committee initially reviews the compensation of physicians and administrative leadership for the mayo clinic health system entities. The committee is comprised of mayo employees, but is independent for internal revenue code 4958 for the individuals whose salary is reviewed (with recusal where appropriate). For those individuals for which this committee can not serve as the independent review, their compensation and benefits are reviewed by the governance committee (described below). The compensation and benefits committee uses comparability data (including third-party benchmarking surveys) in its review and documents decisions in its minutes. Information on mayo clinic health system physician and administrative leadership compensation and benefits is also reviewed by the mayo clinic committee on officer succession, compensation and governance (governance committee), which is comprised of seven of the external independent members of the mayo clinic board of trustees. In addition to the above coordinated review process conducted by the mayo clinic health system compensation and benefits committee and/or the mayo clinic governance committee, the filing organization also has its own compensation review and approval process for senior leadership and physicians. The process includes review of comparability data for similar sized organizations by an independent committee consisting of public board members only. Salary ranges for the past year and ranges for the next year are reviewed for reasonableness. Contemporaneous meeting minutes of the compensation committee are kept on file.”

“The filing organization's governing documents are not available to the public. The conflict of interest policy is available upon request and also on the mayoclinic.org website. The filing organization is a hospital affiliated with mayo clinic. As such, mayo clinic's consolidated audited financial statements are attached to the filing organization's form 990 and would be available upon request of the form 990.”
