Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

“The 990 is prepared by independent accountants, reviewed by management, presented to the Board for review, proposed revisions and final approval.”

Pt VI, Line 12C

“Enforced by Board policy. Any Board member with a conflict of interest on any specific issue informs the Board and abstains from voting on the issue.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“In the annual budgeting process, the Board approves a budget line for aggregate salary expense. Thereafter, individual salaries and salary increases for employees are determined by the Fire Chief. The Board of Directors sets the Fire Chief salary after a performance review and a check of comparable salary information for volunteer fire departments with similar budgets.”

Pt VI, Line 18

“Forms 1023 and 990 are available upon request.”

Pt VI, Line 19

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and audited financial statements are available upon request.”

Pt VII, Col (E)

“Jarrett Myers was paid as a firefighter and not for work on the Board.”

Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“The Department is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to the Departments tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The Department had no income from unrelated business activities in 2023-24 and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). The Department believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Department is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to the Departments tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The Department had no income from unrelated business activities in 2023-24 and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). The Department believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.
