Pt VI, Line 19

“Upon request, Spark's Board of Directors and executive director are available to provide governing documents and financial statements to the public.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“The Spark Board of Directors established a search committee, in part comprised of members with substantial experience in hiring and deciding the compensation levels of executive directors similarly situated. In addition, an inquiry was made on the existing salary level of the executive director before an offer of compensation was made. The indicated salary level fell within a reasonable range discussed by the committee.”
