IOWA IS ONE OF THREE STATES THAT CURRENTLY SUBJECTS COMMUNITY BLOOD CENTERS TO SALES AND USE TAX. UNDER CURRENT LAW, REAGENTS THAT ARE USED TO PERFORM INFECTIOUS DISEASE TESTING ARE TAXED. THIS TAX RESULTS IN COMMUNITY BLOOD CENTERS IN IOWA PAYING NEARLY $300,000 ANNUALLY IN USE TAX, WHILE HOSPITAL-BASED BLOOD CENTERS AND COMMUNITY BLOOD CENTERS INCORPORATED OUTSIDE OF IOWA PAY NO COMPARABLE TAX. UNDER PROPOSED LEGISLATION, A COMMUNITY BLOOD CENTER THAT IS LICENSED BY THE FDA WOULD BE EXEMPT FROM PAYING SALES AND USE TAX.

FOR VOLUNTEER BLOOD DONORS, THESE PROCESSES INCLUDES THE COMPLETION OF A TRAVEL AND MEDICAL HISTORY QUESTIONNAIRE TO ENSURE DONOR/PATIENT SUITABILITY FOR BLOOD DONATION, PHLEBOTOMY SERVICES FOR BLOOD COLLECTION, AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER SERVICE FUNCTIONS TO ASSURE POSITIVE DONOR AND PATIENT EXPERIENCES.

IF A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS ARRANGEMENT IS NOT POSSIBLE, A DECISION IS MADE BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS A HUMAN RESOURCE COMMITTEE. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE HR COMMITTEE ARE DEFINED IN A COMMITTEE CHARTER. THESE RESPONSIBILITES INCLUDE DETERMINATION OF CEO COMPENSATION AND COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. A CONSULTING FIRM WAS HIRED TO ESTABLISH RANGES BASED ON MARKET COMPENSATION OF COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE CONSULTING FIRM PROVIDED THIS INFORMATION TO THE HR COMMITTEE. THE COMPARABILITY DATA USED INCLUDED OTHER BLOOD CENTERS, OTHER NON-PROFITS AND OTHER REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. THE DETERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE SALARY RANGES WAS DOCUMENTED IN A SUMMARY REPORT CREATED BY THE CONSULTANT, AS WELL AS IN HR COMMITTEE AND BOARD MINUTES. THE CEO SALARY RANGE IS EVALUATED EVERY 3 YEARS BY HIRING A CONSULTING FIRM TO ASSESS THE MARKET RANGE. THE LAST MARKET EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED IN Q2 2014 FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN Q4 2014. THE PLACEMENT OF THE CEO WITHIN THE RANGE WAS DONE BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM. EACH YEAR, THE CEO'S PERFORMANCE IS REVIEWED BY THE HR COMMITTEE USING THE STANDARD PERFORMANCE EVALUATION TOOL AND THE BUDGET APPROVED MERIT INCREASE. THE HR RECOMMENDATION FOR SALARY INCREASE IS TAKEN TO THE FULL BOARD FOR APPROVAL. THIS PROCEDURE WAS COMPLETED IN 2015. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15B EVERY 3 YEARS A COMPENSATION CONSULTANT IS HIRED TO CONDUCT A MARKET EVALUATION FOR ALL POSITIONS IN THE ORGANIZATION. OTHER BLOOD CENTERS, NON-PROFITS AND REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS WERE USED TO ESTABLISH THE SALARY RANGES. THE LIFESERVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS MARKET BASED. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE FAIR COMPENSATION BASED ON THE MARKET SALARY FOR THE POSITION. THE MARKET EVALUATION WAS USED TO CREATE A SALARY RANGE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES IN THE ORGANIZATION. EMPLOYEES ARE PLACED IN THE RANGE BASED ON EXPERIENCE AND PERFORMANCE. AN EMPLOYEES' ABILITY TO ADVANCE IN THE SALARY RANGE IS BASED ON PERFORMANCE. MERIT INCREASES ARE DETERMINED BY PLACEMENT IN THE RANGE AND BUDGET. THE COMPLETE MARKET ANALYSIS WAS MOST RECENTLY PERFORMED IN LATE 2014. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST.
