Bslc II

“Dan Vagle and Dale Turner have a family relationship. Dana Rasic, Nathan Merrill, Dale Turner, Austin Harbach and Tom Workman serve as officers of a related corporate entity which creates a business relationship.”

“BSLC II's communities are managed by Bethesda Foundation under a management contract. See explanation for Part V, Line 2a.”

“The Board of Directors of Bethesda Foundation appoints the Directors of BSLC II.”

“The Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and is reviewed in detail by the CFO and Accounting Manager. The final version of the Form 990 is distributed via email to the organization's Board of Directors. Management answers all questions and incorporates the changes, if necessary, into the Form 990 prior to filing.”

“Conflict of interest forms are completed annually by officers, directors, and key employees and are presented to the board for approval. When a potential conflict arises during the year, the officer, director, or key employee is responsible for updating the conflict of interest form and the revised form is provided to the board for approval. If there are any conflicts of interest approved by the board, the individual with the conflict is precluded from participating in any discussions or decisions related to the organization.”

“BSLC II does not have employees or officers that receive compensation through BSLC II. All functions of running BSLC II communities have been delegated to Bethesda Foundation under a management contract. Therefore, these lines were answered no in accordance with the instructions.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy and audited financial statments are available upon request.”

“Many of the officers and directors provide services to affiliated organizations. The hours shown are specific to this organization but the compensation is total compensation for services provided to all of the affiliated organizations.”

“Independent Board Members: Board members Daniel Vagle, Dale Turner, Don Morgan and Larry Smith were reasonably compensated solely for services provided in their capacity as members of the governing body. Therefore they are independent members of the board.”

“Staff are compensated by a related organization, Bethesda Foundation, under a shared services management agreement. Under the shared services agreement, employees split their time between BSLC II and Bethesda Foundation and therefore there are no employees who work solely for the filing organization. Bethesda Foundation files all required payroll information returns as required by the IRS. Part IX, Lines 7-10 represent the filing organization's share of the compensation expense under the shared services agreement.”
