Schedule D, Part III, Line 1	The Detroit Zoological Society (The Society) owns numerous works of art accumulated over the years. Consistent with financial statement presentations followed by other institutions, primarily museums, the Society excludes the value of its works of art from the statements of financial position. The works of art are held for educational and exhibition purposes.
Schedule D, Part III, Line 4	The Detroit Zoo is the only zoo in the world with a permanent art collection from artists in multiple mediums acquired for the purpose of interpreting the relationship of humans with animals through various cultures and times. The Zoo's first Wildlife Art Committee was created in 1987 by then-director Steve Graham who felt outdoor sculptures of wildlife could enhance visitors' enjoyment of the zoo. The collection was begun with the understanding that art is a visual communication that records feelings, beliefs, and ideas which reflect the cultural context in which it was made, hence artist interpretations were chosen over literal depictions. In the antiquities wall case in the Wildlife Interpretive Gallery, one contemporary piece is a transfer image of cave paintings done by the earliest known artists some 40,000 years ago. Michigan artists in the Wildlife Interpretive Gallery collection are: Rich Branstrom, Susie Colquitt, Laura Ford, Peter Hackett, Cathy Peet, and Ia Moua Yang. The artists possibly most readily recognized are Larry Rivers and Alexis Rockman.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4	The Detroit Zoological Society (The Society) endowments were established to provide a stable source of funding to help underwrite the programs and facilities of the Detroit Zoo and Belle Isle Nature Zoo.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15	The Detroit Zoological Society engaged consultant, Towers Perrin, (April 2008) to assess a competitive salary analysis of non-union, salaried benchmark positions and develop salary structures and ranges for these positions. Job grades and salary ranges, including minimum, midpoint and maximum, were established for each position. Upon determining a wage for a new hire, an individual's salary is set within the range considering the market value of the position (based on the role's primary responsibilities), individual characteristics (experience, performance, etc.) and internal value. Salary is not to be lower than the minimum established wage of the pay grade and range. If a new hire is to be brought in higher than the established midpoint wage of the pay grade and range, it must be approved by Human Resources and a member of the Executive Leadership Team. Salary is not to exceed the established maximum wage of the pay grade and range. Salary guidelines and wages are reviewed by a Compensation Committee of the Board and approval by the Committee is documented in the meeting minutes.
