WELBORNE, WAS THE MANAGER, PURSUANT TO A CONTRACT FILED WITH THE SERVICE WITH FORM 1023. ON BEHALF OF THE FOUNDATION, AND PURSUANT TO ADDITIONAL CONTRACTS ALSO ON FILE WITH THE SERVICE, AFOC MANAGED A MUSEUM, PROVIDED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, AND OPERATED AND PROMOTED, THROUGH MAY 31, 2015, THE HISTORIC ANGELS FLIGHT RAILWAY, A FUNICULAR INCLINED RAILWAY BUILT IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES IN 1901 AND REOPENED IN 1996. ALL OF THE CONTRACTS WITH AFOC PROVIDED FOR THE FOUNDATION TO COMPENSATE AFOC. 1997 WAS THE FIRST YEAR IN WHICH MONEY WAS AVAILABLE TO PAY THE CONTRACTED-FOR COMPENSATION. SINCE 1997, THIS COMPENSATION WAS BEEN PAID, ALL AS SHOWN ON EACH YEAR'S FORM 990, PART II. CHIEF AMONG THE EXEMPT PURPOSES OF THE FOUNDATION IS ITS SOLICITING AND CHANNELING OF PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE ANGELS FLIGHT RAILWAY MUSEUM AND RELATED PROGRAMS SUPPORTING THE ANGELS FLIGHT RAILWAY. PAYMENTS TO AFOC SHOWN ON 2007 AND PRIOR YEAR FORM 990S, PART II, COLUMN B (AND ON 2008 AND 2009 FORMS 990-EZ, LINE 10) HAVE BEEN MADE WHEN POSSIBLE TO REIMBURSE AFOC FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND REPAIRS TO, PLUS CONTINUING EXPENSES OF, THE HISTORIC RAILWAY. SUBSEQUENT TO AN ACCIDENT IN 2001, THE FOUNDATION HAS RAISED EXTRA FUNDS TO PAY, THROUGH AFOC, THE EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSES TO COMPLETELY RESTORE THE HISTORIC RAILWAY. SIGNIFICANT DOLLAR ADVANCES OF THESE FUNDS TO AFOC, THROUGH LOANS AND PROGRAM SERVICE GRANTS, BEGAN IN 2007 AND CONTINUED THROUGH 2009 AND 2010. IN 2010, THE RAILWAY RESTORATION WAS COMPLETED, THE RAILWAY REOPENED FOR PUBLIC SERVICE, THE CAMPAIGN FOR ANGELS FLIGHT WAS LARGELY WRAPPED-UP, AND THE LOANS OUTSTANDING AT THAT TIME WERE PAID. HOWEVER, IN 2012, 2013 AND 2014, ADDITIONAL REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE WORK WAS UNDERTAKEN, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO INSTALLATION IN 2013, 2014, AND 2017 OF NEW EQUIPMENT, AND THIS WORK WAS PARTLY FUNDED BY LOANS TO AFOC FROM THE FOUNDATION. BEGINNING IN MID-2015, AFOC'S EXCLUSIVE SERVICE TO THE FOUNDATION TERMINATED, AND THE FOUNDATION SUBSEQUENTLY PAID MOST EXPENSES DIRECTLY PENDING THE SELECTION AND APPOINTMENT OF ANOTHER OPERATOR FOR THE HISTORIC RAILWAY, WHICH BECAME EFFECTIVE IN 2017.
