Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6

Cherokee Electric Cooperative is a not-for-profit membership organization whose members have identical voting rights and are assigned margins in accordance with the organization's bylaws.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7A

Cherokee Electric Cooperative's governing body consists of seven directors that are elected by the membership of the cooperative. Each director serves a three year term and represents a certain district within the territory served by the cooperative. The terms are staggered in order for the cooperative to only have two or three directors up for election in any one year.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7B

The membership must approve decisions that involve substantial transfers of cooperative assets, amendments to the cooperative's bylaws, as well as other decisions requiring approval of the membership by law, the articles of incorporation, and/or the cooperative's bylaws.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11

The Form 990 was reviewed extensively by the Chief Financial Officer and the General Manager before the return was filed. The Chief Financial Officer attended a board meeting and presented the Form 990 before it was filed. Each board member was given a hard copy of the return to review as it was discussed by the Chief Financial Officer.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

Management regularly monitors the compliance with the conflict of interest policy. The directors are required to disclose any conflicts of interest on a questionnaire when they run for office.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

The General Manager/CEO's compensation is based on a contract approved by the board of directors. The other officers' compensations are calculated based on a statewide wage and salary guide and is approved by the board of directors.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

These documents are available upon request at the Cooperative's office in Centre, Alabama.

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part IX, Line 4

The instructions to the Form 990 indicate that organizations exempt under Section 501(c)(12) should report "patronage dividends paid" to their members in Part IX, Line 4 of the Form 990. Cherokee Electric Cooperative has interpreted the words "patronage dividends paid" in the instructions to mean margins that are assigned or assignable to the members. Cherokee Electric Cooperative assigns the net margins to its members each year. Therefore, the amount listed in Part IX, Line 4 represents the net margins assigned to the members for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Form 990, Part XI, line 9:

Change in Memberships 565. Amortization of unrecognized losses 341,367. Actuarial adjustment of calculation of gain 455,719. Patronage allocation - margins assigned/allocated to members 4,627,065.

Financial Statement Notes

Part XII, Line 4B - Other Adjustments:

Patronage allocation - margins assigned/allocated to members 4,627,065.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Cherokee Electric Cooperative is a not-for-profit membership organization whose members have identical voting rights and are assigned margins in accordance with the organization's bylaws.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Cherokee Electric Cooperative's governing body consists of seven directors that are elected by the membership of the cooperative. Each director serves a three year term and represents a certain district within the territory served by the cooperative. The terms are staggered in order for the cooperative to only have two or three directors up for election in any one year.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The membership must approve decisions that involve substantial transfers of cooperative assets, amendments to the cooperative's bylaws, as well as other decisions requiring approval of the membership by law, the articles of incorporation, and/or the cooperative's bylaws.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The Form 990 was reviewed extensively by the Chief Financial Officer and the General Manager before the return was filed. The Chief Financial Officer attended a board meeting and presented the Form 990 before it was filed. Each board member was given a hard copy of the return to review as it was discussed by the Chief Financial Officer.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4Management regularly monitors the compliance with the conflict of interest policy. The directors are required to disclose any conflicts of interest on a questionnaire when they run for office.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5The General Manager/CEO's compensation is based on a contract approved by the board of directors. The other officers' compensations are calculated based on a statewide wage and salary guide and is approved by the board of directors.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt6These documents are available upon request at the Cooperative's office in Centre, Alabama.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt7The instructions to the Form 990 indicate that organizations exempt under Section 501(c)(12) should report "patronage dividends paid" to their members in Part IX, Line 4 of the Form 990. Cherokee Electric Cooperative has interpreted the words "patronage dividends paid" in the instructions to mean margins that are assigned or assignable to the members. Cherokee Electric Cooperative assigns the net margins to its members each year. Therefore, the amount listed in Part IX, Line 4 represents the net margins assigned to the members for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt8Change in Memberships 565. Amortization of unrecognized losses 341,367. Actuarial adjustment of calculation of gain 455,719. Patronage allocation - margins assigned/allocated to members 4,627,065.
