| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 3 | FROM ALL DELIBERATIONS AND NOT PARTICIPATE IN VOTING |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 4 | IN CONNECTION WITH THE MATTER. EACH BOARD MEMBER ANNUALLY |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 5 | REVIEWS THE AGENCY'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND DISCLOSES |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 6 | ANY CONFLICTS OF INTERST OF WHICH THEY ARE AWARE. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 7 | THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETERMINES COMPENSATION BASED UPON |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 8 | PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT, SIZE AND SCOPE OF PROGRAM ACTIVITIES, |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 9 | AND A COMPENSATION COMPARABILITY STUDY FOR 20 SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 10 | IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. DATA ON SIMILAR TAX-EXEMPT |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 11 | ORGANIZATIONS WERE PROVIDED BY THE ECONOMIC RESEARCH INSTITITUE OF |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 12 | REDMOND, WASHINGTON. COMPENSATION ANALYSIS WAS PERFORMED |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 13 | FOR ALL TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS WITH NATIONAL TAXONOMY OF EXEMPT |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 14 | ENTITIES - SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CODES. OTHER HIGHLY COMPENSATED |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 15 | EMPLOYEES ARE PAID BASED UPON THE APPLICABLE GOVERNMENT |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 16 | CONTRACT SPECIFYING THE WAGE BASE FOR THAT CONTRACT WHICH |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 17 | IS APPROVED BY THE GOVERNMENT OR CONTRACTOR. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 18 | THE DRAFT FORM 990 IS SENT TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS PRIOR TO |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 19 | FINALIZING. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND BOARD PRESIDENT |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 20 | REVIEW THE 990 IN DETAIL PRIOR TO FILING. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 21 | THE AGENCY HAS ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 22 | REVIEWED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND 990 FORMS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 23 | The Agency contracted with a related C-Corporation to |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 24 | provide identical services under the same terms and |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 25 | conditions of the contracts awarded as would have been |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 26 | performed by the Agency. The Agency is in the process of |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 27 | transitioning activities related to scientific research |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 28 | contracts to the C-Corporation because the Board of |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 29 | Directors no longer felt that a non-profit entity is |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 30 | appropriate for conducting such research activities. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 31 | When the Agency was initially formed, a non-profit structure |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 32 | was required under contract conditions. That requirement |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 33 | is no longer present and the Board has resolved to |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 34 | assign its activities to the C-Corporation. All contractual |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 35 | terms, including service rates, wages, benefits, and fees |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 36 | remained unchanged. The transition was overseen by |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 37 | the Agency's attorney and counsel to ensure compliance |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 38 | with all applicable non-profit rules and regulations. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 39 | The Executive Director was paid $24,000 + routine fringe benefits for |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 40 | contracted professional research and programming for contracts |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 41 | for the Agency. The remaining compensation for the |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 42 | Executive Director was for services performed on behalf |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 43 | of the C-Corporation's contracts and was not related |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 44 | to services performed for the Agency. |
