Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2

Marshall fitz and bryan lattimore have a business relationship.

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

The organization does not have any committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.

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

The form 990 was prepared by a third party accountant and reviewed by management and legal counsel. The governing body was provided a copy of the form 990 prior to filing with the irs.

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

The organization adopted a conflict of interest policy that covers directors, officers, committee members with delegated powers, and employees. The policy requires covered persons to disclose conflicts. Depending on the circumstances, conflicts are determined by the governing board or committee. The policy also gives the governing board authority to investigate whether a covered person failed to disclose a conflict. Any person with a potential conflict of interest is prohibited from participating in the deliberation and determination of whether a conflict exists. Annually, those covered by the policy receive a copy of the policy and sign a statement agreeing to comply with the policy.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

The salaries of the officers and key employees are fixed from time to time by the board or by any person(s) to whom the board has delegated such authority. Prior to entering into any compensation agreement, the board established that the proposed salary was reasonable when compared with a similarly-situated organization for functionally-comparable positons rendered. The date of the last compensation review was october 2019.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes available, upon request, for inspection and copying all documents required to made publicly available.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY COMMITTEES WITH AUTHORITY TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNING BODY.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2THE FORM 990 WAS PREPARED BY A THIRD PARTY ACCOUNTANT AND REVIEWED BY MANAGEMENT AND LEGAL COUNSEL. THE GOVERNING BODY WAS PROVIDED A COPY OF THE FORM 990 PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3THE ORGANIZATION ADOPTED A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THAT COVERS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, COMMITTEE MEMBERS WITH DELEGATED POWERS, AND EMPLOYEES. THE POLICY REQUIRES COVERED PERSONS TO DISCLOSE CONFLICTS. DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES, CONFLICTS ARE DETERMINED BY THE GOVERNING BOARD OR COMMITTEE. THE POLICY ALSO GIVES THE GOVERNING BOARD AUTHORITY TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER A COVERED PERSON FAILED TO DISCLOSE A CONFLICT. ANY PERSON WITH A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS PROHIBITED FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE DELIBERATION AND DETERMINATION OF WHETHER A CONFLICT EXISTS. ANNUALLY, THOSE COVERED BY THE POLICY RECEIVE A COPY OF THE POLICY AND SIGN A STATEMENT AGREEING TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICY.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4THE SALARIES OF THE OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES ARE FIXED FROM TIME TO TIME BY THE BOARD OR BY ANY PERSON(S) TO WHOM THE BOARD HAS DELEGATED SUCH AUTHORITY. PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO ANY COMPENSATION AGREEMENT, THE BOARD ESTABLISHED THAT THE PROPOSED SALARY WAS REASONABLE WHEN COMPARED WITH A SIMILARLY-SITUATED ORGANIZATION FOR FUNCTIONALLY-COMPARABLE POSITONS RENDERED. THE DATE OF THE LAST COMPENSATION REVIEW WAS OCTOBER 2019.
