OATS provided 1,422,990 one-way trips with a fleet of over 858 vehicles and a staff of 703. OATS normal hrs are Mon through Fri 6:00 am-6:00 pm, but many times operates outside those hours due to the nature of the transportation. OATS Inc. not only is concerned about the cost of operating the vehicles, but replacement of the vehicles too. OATS Inc. raises money through over 1,000 volunteers who do fundraising and donations. OATS Inc. is normally required to match 20% of the total cost of the vehicles with cash. This can be a challenge and takes years to get funds to be able to match one vehicle in that county. OATS Inc. has found over the years ways to put aside funds to help in this capital requirement such as donations contributions, depreciation costs on contracts and state-incentive programs such as the Neighborhood Assistance Program. We have fleet plans so replacements, expansions and major repairs are laid out for the future years to keep this service going.Our long-term goal is to provide the most transportation service for the dollars received and look for other means of support to continue our mission. A quarterly newsletter along with our website provides the general public information on our services, and we make sure the required information in regard to the aspects of OATS Inc. is available to the public when required. 25956130 true false false false false false false false false false true false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 11 0 true 934 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true true false X DOROTHY YEAGER 5734434516 2501 MAGUIRE BLVD SUITE 101 COLUMBIA MO 652018252 DOROTHY YEAGER Executive Dir. 55.00 0.00 X 127386 0 36289 DEBBIE PILKINGTON FINANCE DIR. 43.00 0.00 X 84365 0 30384 KRISSY SINOR Vice President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE RODGERS Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 REX SCOTT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DARLEEN RAPP Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT KOSKY Treas/Sec 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN GRIESHEIMER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STACEY STEFFENS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MEL SUNDERMEYER President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ANGIE CROWDER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF LEEMAN Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 EDNA FOSTER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA MEFFORD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RACHEL BASKERVILLE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TAMMY NADLER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA YAEGER FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 211751 66673 1 true true false 0 17913503 1647628 19561131 TRANSPORTATION REVENUE 480000 13585929 13585929 13585929 212270 212270 0 0 0 5233 364030 199044 5233 164986 170219 170219 0 0 0 FEDERAL FUEL TAX CREDIT 480000 93098 93098 MISCELLANEOUS 1495 1495 STATE FUEL TAX CREDIT 480000 203219 203219 297812 33827361 14052465 213765 0 0 0 0 278423 173548 104875 0 14044689 12948251 1096438 256324 26950 229374 1897465 1785781 111684 1062068 961484 100584 0 39925 39925 51025 51025 0 0 0 81886 81886 9399 1302 8097 700161 559791 140370 396721 357097 39624 0 494220 440263 53957 5799271 5741279 57992 0 28052 26265 1787 0 0 2904953 2289424 615529 23660 22954 706 DRIVER EXPENSES 463882 463882 NEW HIRE TESTING 98345 93058 5287 UNIFORMS 30849 30849 SHOP SUPPLIES 26104 26104 25019 7848 17171 28712441 25956130 2756311 0 0 6228179 7731056 2688784 3674502 751619 947076 0 0 0 0 542081 503571 61969190 38246703 21032623 23722487 2094192 2464843 0 0 0 2251761 2298665 35589239 41342200 1522726 1743737 89595 102841 2545564 2834878 4157885 4681456 X 29319561 33989521 2111793 2671223 31431354 36660744 35589239 41342200 5114920 114470 X false true X true true true X 13248903 13283328 15748476 15850662 19561131 77692500 0 0 13248903 13283328 15748476 15850662 19561131 77692500 0 77692500 99063 132638 133156 160167 212270 737294 0 466520 489432 536308 500242 296317 2288819 80718613 0.96250 0.95870 X 1180885 1180885 18135102 4870667 13264435 584786 458712 126074 42068417 32917324 9151093 23722487 2298665 Rounding 1 SEPARATE FUNDING ARRANGEMENTS 2834877 2834878 X 33941831 114470 114470 33827361 33827361 28712441 28712441 28712441 Part X : FIN48 Footnote OATS is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, OATS may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of OATS and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). OATS was not subject to UBIT for the years ended.OATS files forms 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. OATS is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service three years after the forms were filed.

It is also electronically sent to the members Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts Management monitors for potential conflicts and addresses and resolves them as they occur. To assist in the process, newly hired employees are required to complete a conflict of interest form. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees There are three approaches to reviewing compensation plans:JOB ANALYSIS - is the systematic study of jobs to determine what activities and responsibilities they include, their relative importance in comparison with other jobs, the personal qualifications necessary for performance of the jobs and the conditions under which the work is performed. An important concept in job analysis is that an evaluation is conducted of the job, not the person doing the job (even though some job analysis data may be collected from incumbents).JOB EVALUATION - is the systematic determination of the relative worth and value of jobs within an organization. The job evaluation process determines the relative worth of each job by establishing a hierarchy of jobs within an organization. Job evaluation is conducted following the completion of a formal job analysis, which focuses on the delineation of job duties and responsibilities (i.e., a job description) and essential knowledge, skills and abilities (i.e., job specifications), after all pertinent job requirements have been defined.MARKET PRICING - is the process of setting pay structures almost exclusively by collecting, analyzing and matching job salary survey data with rates paid in the external market. An organization may elect to use this method for professions that are market driven (i.e., information systems, engineering) or as a compensation philosophy across the board. OATS uses the U.S. Dept. of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics for market analysis.OATS, Inc. has traditionally used a combination of these three approaches when reviewing its salary schedule. Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available OATS Inc. publishes an Annual Report in its quarterly newsletter, The Wheel, which is mailed to over 18,000 people and available online. The Annual Report contains the revenue and expenses and a notation that the full audit is available upon request.
