Changes to the articles of incorporation and bylaws require a majority vote by the members. In addition, the members annually hold a meeting to elect trustees, to pass reports for the previous fiscal year, and to transact other business that may come before the meeting. Upon dissolution of the cooperative, after all debts and liabilities have been paid and all capital furnished through patronage has been retired, the remaining property and assets of the cooperative shall be distributed among the members and former members in proportion to their patronage. 2 THE 990 IS PREPARED BY AN OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING FIRM AND IS THEN REVIEWED INTERNALLY BY MANAGEMENT PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS. 3 The executive's compensation is reviewed in May of each year by the board. The review is documented in the board minutes. 4 The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request and at the annual board meeting. 5 Officers, directors, and key employees are required to disclose annually interests that could give rise to conflicts. 6 Credit Refunds ($69,659) Decrease in Memebership Fees (80) Capital Credits 362,928 Total $293,189 CMS Services Inc PO Box 740 Meade KS 67864 481221386 Heat & Air KS NA C Corp 97091 742649 1.00000 true HIGH PLAINS ENERGY PO BOX 1113 GARDEN CITY KS 678461113 481219133 PROPANE KS NA C CORP 2143093 3728956 1.00000 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false
