Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6South Alabama Electric Cooperative operates on the cooperative basis having members with equal voting rights and who are assigned margins in accordance with the cooperative's bylaws.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aThe members of South Alabama Electric Cooperative may elect the members of its governing body at its annual meeting provided that a quorum is present.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bThe membership must approve decisions that involve substantial transfers of cooperative assets, amendments to the cooperative's bylaws, as well as other decisions requiring approval of the membership by law, the articles of incorporation, and/or the cooperative's bylaws.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The Form 990 was reviewed by management before it was presented to the board. The external accountant who assisted management in the preparation of the Form 990 conducted a formal review of the Form 990 with the Trustees at the monthly board meeting before the Form 990 was filed.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cOfficers and Trustees are required to disclose annually any conflicts of interest on a questionnaire.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The General Manager reviews the complete wage and salary for all employees, which the board approves. Then, the board reviews the General Manager's compensation package and approves or makes changes to the plan.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The cooperative's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request at its main office in Troy, Alabama.
Form 990, Part VIISouth Alabama Electric Cooperative is concerned with the privacy issues of its employees and trustees. With this concern, the cooperative has chosen to use initials to protect the identity of its employees and trustees. The actual names will be made available to the public upon request.
Form 990, Part IX, Line 4The instructions to the 2015 Form 990 indicate that organizations exempt under Section 501(c)(12) should report patronage dividends paid to their members in Part IX, Line 4 of the Form 990. South Alabama Electric Cooperative has interpreted the words "patronage dividends paid" in the instructions to mean margins that are assigned or assignable to the members. South Alabama Electric Cooperative assigns the net margins less an amount representing deferred revenue that has previously been allocated to the members in total in 2009. Therefore, the amount listed in Part IX, Line 4 represents the current year net margins assigned to the members less the portion of deferred revenue previously allocated to the members.
Form 990, Part XI, line 9:Increase in memberships 1,570. Retirement of capital credits -1,068,291. Net margins assigned to members - reported in Part IX, Line 4 3,113,071.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2South Alabama Electric Cooperative's financial statement year end differs from its tax year end. The cooperative receives audited financial statements on an annual basis for the year ended March 31st.
