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

  • 3 · Written employment contract
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 4B
THE CREDIT UNION HAS ENTERED INTO A SPLIT-DOLLAR AGREEMENT WITH A MEMBER OF THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM. UNDER THE ARRANGEMENT, THE CREDIT UNION MAKES A LOAN TO THE EXECUTIVE EQUAL TO THE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY PREMIUMS. THE EXECUTIVE ASSIGNS THE INSURANCE POLICY TO THE CREDIT UNION AS COLLATERAL FOR REPAYING THE PREMIUMS AND BORROWS FROM THE POLICY TO SUPPLEMENT RETIREMENT INCOME. THE CREDIT UNION IS REPAID FROM THE POLICY'S DEATH PROCEEDS. INTEREST ACCRUES ON THE LOANS AT THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL RATE AT THE TIME OF THE ADVANCE. THE INTEREST IS REPORTED AS TAXABLE INCOME TO THE EXECUTIVE IN THE YEAR EARNED. ANY PRINCIPAL OR INTEREST NOT REPAID UNDER THE ARRANGEMENTS IS TAXABLE TO THE EXECUTIVE. THE CREDIT UNION CONTRIBUTES TO A 457(F) PLAN AS ADDITIONAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS FOR THE CEO. THE 457(F) PLAN IS FULLY FUNDED AND NO FURTHER ACCRUALS WILL BE RECORDED. THE CREDIT UNION OFFERS A SERP AS PART OF THE CEO'S 10-YEAR EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN IS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INCENTIVE FOR THE CEO TO REMAIN WITH THE CREDIT UNION. THE CREDIT UNION CONTRIBUTES 2% OF COMPENSATION TO A 457(B) PLAN ON TOP OF ALL OTHER RETIREMENT PLANS FOR SENIOR MANAGEMENT. THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF CURRENT PARTICIPANTS AND THE CONTRIBUTIONS MADE IN 2024: LINDA ROSSI - $11,770 LINDA SIM - $8,137 GAVIN BRADLEY - $6,979 CHAD RITCHIE - $6,531 EDMOND SAHAKIAN - $4,492 BEVERLY ARMENDARIZ - $5,238 APRIL REMNANT - $4,212 CHRISTINA ESTES - $4,065
