Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)
- PART I, LINE 1A
- SOCIAL CLUB DUES ARE PAID BY THE ORGANIZATION. THE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES OF THE ORGANIZATION REQUIRE EXTENSIVE COOPERATION AND COORDINATION OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SUPPORT FOR SUCCESSFUL DOWNTOWN ECONOMIC REDEVELOPMENT. BREAKFAST AND LUNCH MEETINGS ARE THE OPTIMUM WAY TO SCHEDULE SCARCE TIME TO CONFIDENTIALLY DISCUSS COOPERATIVE PROJECT ACTIVITIES. THE BOARD SUGGESTED MEMBERSHIP IN THE SOCIAL CLUBS TO FACILITATE NECESSARY MEETINGS WITH BUSY EXECUTIVES.
Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
