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 11B

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 18

Bylaws are offered to all new members; all other documents are available at any time upon request.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

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/ExplanationTxt6Bylaws are offered to all new members; all other documents are available at any time upon request.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt7These documents are available upon request at the Cooperative's office in Centre, Alabama.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt8Postemployment benefit obligations - amortization of unrecognized losses 124,756. Postemployment benefit obligations - adjustment of calculation of loss -567,669. Patronage allocation - margins assigned/allocated to members 5,855,315. Increase in memberships 845.
