| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 | Joe Wheeler Electric Membership Corporation is a not-for-profit membership organization whose members have identical voting rights and are assigned margins in accordance with the corporation's bylaws. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a | Joe Wheeler EMC's Board of Directors is comprised of ten directors that are elected by the membership of the cooperative at a scheduled annual meeting each year. Each board member serves a three year term. Nine of the board members represent a certain district within the territory served by the cooperative. One board member is elected at large. The terms are staggered in order for the cooperative to only have three or four directors up for election in any one year. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b | The membership must approve decisions that involve substantial transfers of cooperative assets, amendments to the cooperative's bylaws, as well as other decisions requiring approval of the membership by law, the articles of incorporation, and/or the cooperative's bylaws. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The Form 990 is reviewed extensively by the CFO and the CEO/General Manager before the return is filed. A member of the accounting firm who assisted in the preparation of the Form 990 attended a board meeting and presented the Form 990 to the directors before it was filed. Each director was given a copy of the return to review as it was being discussed by the tax preparer. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Each board member and key employee is required to fill out a conflict of interest certificate each year at the reorganization meeting stating his/her compliance. It is the General Manager's responsibility to provide assistance to the board to assure compliance with the conflict of interest policy. It is the responsibility of the board to review compliance with this policy and to counsel with any board member or employee, as the situation may require. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | Joe Wheeler EMC has a salary administration policy for management employees that clearly establishes the yearly procedures that must be followed in order to establish compensation for the cooperative's employees. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | We will issue a copy of our bylaws upon request. We will allow our policies to be viewed upon request. We mail to each member of the cooperative a copy of our annual report each year which includes a full copy of our entire audit report for that current fiscal year. |
| Form 990, Part IX, Line 4 | The instructions to the Form 990 indicate that organizations exempt under Section 501(c)(12) should report "patronage dividends paid" to their members in Part IX, Line 4 of the Form 990. Joe Wheeler Electric Membership Corporation has interpreted the words "patronage dividends paid" in the instructions to mean margins that are assigned or assignable to the members. Joe Wheeler Electric Membership Corporation assigns the net margins to its members each year. Therefore, the amount listed in Part IX, Line 4 represents the net margins assigned to the members for the fiscal year. |
| Form 990, Part XI, line 9: | Utility tax refund assigned directly to members 2,625. Amortization of unrecognized actuarial loss -81,986. Loss of Subsidiaries - Equity method -510,342. Net Gain arising during the year 1,262,852. Patronage allocation - margins assigned/allocated to members 7,187,183. |
