Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

“The are no committees authorized to act on behalf of the governing body.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The return is prepared by the organization's independent accountant based on data provided by management. Once a draft return is available, it is provided to the governing body for review prior to filing.”

If this were to occur, it will be captured in the meeting minutes.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“Using the minnesota nonprofit salary and benefits survey that took place in 2014, the executive officer's compensation is determined by the board of directors. The deliberation and decision is documented in the board of directors meeting minutes. The last year this took place was in 2018 for jeff ochs, president and ceo.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization does not make the governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public.”
