MEMBERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ELECTING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, RECEIVE ALLOCATIONS OF THE COOPERATIVE'S NET INCOME, AND MAY AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BY-LAWS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7ATHE MEMBERS OF THE COOPERATIVE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ELECTING RESPRESENTATIVES TO SERVE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE COOPERATIVE'S SERVICE TERRITORY IS DIVIDED INTO NINE DISTRICTS AND EACH DISTRICT HAS ONE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7BTHE MEMBERS MAY ALTER, AMEND, OR REPEAL THE BY-LAWS OF THE COOPERATIVE.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL RECEIVE A COPY OF THE FORM 990 PRIOR TO FILING OF THE RETURN. THE BOARD WILL REVIEW AND APPROVE THE FILING OF THE RETURN. IN ADDITION, MANAGEMENT WILL PERFORM A DETAILED REVIEW OF THE RETURN IN ADVANCE OF ITS FILING.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12CTHE COOPERATIVE'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY APPLIES TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND OTHER SENIOR MANAGEMENT. DIRECTORS COMPLETE CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS ANNUALLY AT THE TIME OF THE BOARD REORGANIZATION. OFFICERS AND OTHER SENIOR MANAGEMENT COMPLETE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT" UPON HIRING. STATEMENTS ARE REVIEWED BY HUMAN RESOURCES AT THAT TIME. SHOULD A CONFLICT ARISE AFTER HIRING, THE DIRECTOR, OFFICER, OR OTHER SENIOR MANAGEMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DISCLOSING THE CONFLICT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE BOARD SHALL DETERMINE THE EXTENT AND NATURE OF ANY ACTUAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND DECIDE WHAT ACTION IS TO BE TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THE CONFLICT. ACTIONS AVAILABLE AT THE BOARD'S DISCRETION INCLUDE REQUIRING DIVESTITURE OF PROPERTY, IMPOSING CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS, OR REQUIRING RESIGNATION OF THE DIRECTOR, OFFICER, OR EMPLOYEE.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15THE SALARY OF THE CEO/GENERAL MANAGER IS APPROVED ANNUALLY BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THIS WAS LAST PERFORMED IN 2011. WAGE RATES FOR UNION EMPLOYEES ARE DETERMINED THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, WITH THE FINAL CONTRACT BEING APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE CONTRACT WAS LAST NEGOTIATED IN 2007. NON-UNION EMPLOYEES ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY THROUGH A PROCESS THAT INCLUDES AN EVALUATION OF JOB PERFORMANCE, AN ANNUAL EMPLOYEE APPRAISAL, AND AN APPROVED RANGE OF WAGE INCREASES BASED ON A POLICY APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THIS PROCESS WAS LAST COMPLETED IN 2011.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19THE COOPERATIVE MAKES ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. FINANCIAL STATEMENT INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN THE COOPERATIVE'S ANNUAL REPORT.
FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 4A CHANGE TO FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS BETWEEN TAX YEARS 2010 AND 2011 LED TO A REPORTING CHANGE ON THE CURRENT YEAR FORM 990. FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 4 (BENEFITS PAID TO OR FOR MEMBERS) NOW INCLUDES PATRONAGE DIVIDENDS PAID. THIS AMOUNT IS AN EXPENSE FOR PURPOSES OF FORM 990, BUT IS NOT RECOGNIZED AS AN EXPENSE UNDER G.A.A.P. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, WHICH ARE USED FOR BOOK INCOME. THE RESULT IS A BOOK TO TAX DIFFERENCE WHICH IS DISCLOSED ON PART XI AND ON SCHEDULE D PARTS XI AND XIII. THIS CHANGE ALSO IMPACTS THE PRIOR YEAR COMPARABILITY OF FORM 990 PART I, LINE 14. IN REFERENCE TO PART IX, LINE 4, THE COOPERATIVE HAS INTERPRETED "PATRONAGE DIVIDENDS PAID" AS CAPITAL CREDITS ALLOCATED TO MEMBERS UNDER THE PREEXISTING OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO THE BYLAWS OF THE COOPERATIVE.PATRONAGE DIVIDENDS PAID
