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. 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.

Schedule J

Answered yes

1a · Discretionary spending account
1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses
2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

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)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a: The President receives allowances for a cell phone and gas under the Memorandum of Understanding with the Local.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3: The President's salary is determined through a review and approval process by the STSJFT executive board.

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.
