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
TAX INDEMNIFICATION AND GROSS UP PAYMENTS: THERE IS NOT A WRITTEN POLICY OF THE ORGANIZATION ALL THE BONUSES ARE GROSSED UP FOR MEDICARE, SOCIAL SECURITY AND CITY OF AKRON TAXES.
PART I, LINE 3
THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONTRACTED WITH A THIRD PARTY FIRM TO PERFORM A COMPENSATION ASSESSMENT FOR THE CEO IN 2023. THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE USED THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE THIRD PARTY REPORT AND COMPARISONS WITH ENTITIES OF SIMILAR SIZES AND REVENUE STREAMS IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY TO PREPARE A WRITTEN 3 YEAR EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WITH MINIMUM ANNUAL INCREASES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL ANNUAL INCREASES AND INCENTIVE PAYMENTS BASED ON A SET OF CRITERIA AND GOALS TO BE MET BY THE ORGANIZATION. THE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE TO THE FULL BOARD FOR APPROVAL.

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.
