“Members of the credit union have the right to elect one or more members of the organization's governing body, whether periodically, or as vacancies arise, or otherwise.”

“Members of the credit union have the right to approve the governing body's election and removal of members of the governing body, as well as other matters that are subject to the approval of members of the credit union as they occur.”

“The accounting department prepares the information which is then reviewed by senior management. The 990 is presented to the board chair before filing, and a copy is made available for all board members.”

“The credit union has a conflict of interest policy for its staff, officials, and the board of directors. Conflict of interest by employees when handling member accounts is monitored by the computer system. Board members cannot vote on matters where there is a conflict of interest.”

“Annually during the budget process, the board of directors reviews and approves the compensation ranges for each position. These ranges are developed by the human resources department using comparable data specific to the credit union industry.

“Schedule j explanation of "bonus and incentive compensation" the credit union has two primary incentive compensation plans, an annual incentive compensation plan that all employees are eligible for and a long-term deferred incentive compensation plan for eligible senior management. Goals are established by the credit union for each of these plans to provide incentive and rewards to employees for achieving results that improve and strengthen the credit union. The goals are established for each of these plans at the beginning of the incentive plan period. For the annual plan,payouts are made to participants based upon achievement of the annual goals. For the long-term deferred plan, the goals must be achieved over a three year period for the participant to earn a payout under the plan. Schedule j explanation of "other reportable compensation" the credit union has established a 401k retirement plan for all eligible employees. It has also put in place other plans and funding payments to provide a reasonable targeted retirement benefit for higher paid employees because of the limitations under qualified plans such as our 401k plan, which creates a reverse discrimination effect. The credit union provides in lieu payments to an individual once the qualified limit is reached equal to what otherwise would have been contributed to the plan if not for the limitation. In 2010 coast central credit union attached to its 990 filing a "split dollar nonrecourse loan representation". The 2018 form 990 does not allow pdf attachments to be included with the electronically filed form 990, with the exception of specific attachments required by the irs. Coast central credit union has an e-file requirement and cannot paper file unless required to do so by the irs. If a paper copy of the return is filed when it is not required the irs may consider the return as not timely filed; therefore the "split dollar nonrecourse loan representation" is available to the irs upon request.”

“During 2018 the credit union had 12 volunteers; which consisted of the board of directors and supervisory committee.”
