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, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.

Schedule J

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

The filer's explanations (Part III)

990 PAGE 8 LINE 5
THE BOARD IS A VOLUNTEER BOARD AND IS NOT COMPENSATED. THE ASSOCIATION HAS NO EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTS WITH A THIRD PARTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY TO PERFORM THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGERIAL FUNCTIONS TRADITIONALLY PERFORMED BY EMPLOYEES. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS AN EMPLOYEE OF THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND IS ONLY COMPENSATED BY THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY AT ITS FULL DISCRETION. THE ASSOCIATION HAS NO CONTROL OVER THAT COMPENSATION. THE BOARD EVALUATES THE WORK OF THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND REVIEWS THE CONTRACT FEE PAID AT LEAST ANNUALLY.

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.
