Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 3Timber Products Manufacturers Association provides management, bookkeeping and administrative services for the Trust. The Trust contracted with a third-party administrator (Allegiance Benefit Plan Management, Inc.) to provide certain bookkeeping and administrative services through March 31, 2011.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aThe Trust is administered by a Board of Trustees. Individual trustee positions are selected as described below. The Trust shall be administered by a Board of Trustees which shall consist of nine (9) trustees appointed by the Board of Directors of the sponsor (sponsor board). Only directors of the sponsor board whose companies are participating employers may vote on the appointment of Trustees. The Trustees are accountable to the sponsor board for the ongoing administration of the Trust and to ensure that the Trust is operated for the benefit of the employees of the Timber Products Manufacturers Association's participating employers who subscribe to the Trust. At least seven (7) of the Trustees must be individuals who represent participating employees who are covered under the plan. Such individuals may include a covered employee as well as an officer or management representative of a participating employer, even if that officer or management representative is not an actual plan participant. The Trustees so appointed shall sign the Trust Agreement, or a duplicate thereof, or an Oath of Trustee in a form approved by the Board of Trustees, and such signatures shall constitute acceptance of office and agreement to act under and be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement and amendments thereto.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bAny changes in the Plan document authorized by the Board of Trustees of this trust must be approved by the sponsor, Timber Products Manufacturers Inc.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The Form 990 was prepared under the guidance of the Association's Health Plan Director by the independent accounting firm SCHOEDEL & SCHOEDEL, Certified Public Accountants, PLLC. Draft copies of the Trust's financial statements and Form 990 were first provided to the Association's Benefits Director, who reviewed the Form 990 for accuracy and completeness. Any questions, concerns or issues raised by the Health Plan Director were addressed and any necessary revisions were made to the Form 990. The revised Form 990 was then provided to the Board of Trustees for its review and approval. Any additional questions, concerns or issues raised by the Board of Trustees were addressed and any necessary revisions were made to the Form 990. The final version of the Form 990 was reviewed, approved and filed by the Board of Trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cTrustees, service providers, third-party administrators, or any other person having responsibility for the management or administration of the Trust's finances, investments, or other proprietary information concerning the Trust are considered interested persons. An interested person is under a continuing obligation to disclose any potential conflict of interest to the Board of Trustees as soon as it is known or reasonably should be known. The interested person is given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the Trustees when considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial, professional, or personal interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she leaves the Trustees meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is considered. If the disinterested Trustees determine a conflict of interest exists, the Chairman of the Board, if appropriate, appoints a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the Trustees determine whether the Trust can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the Board or committee determines by majority vote of the disinterested Trustees whether the transaction agreement or arrangement is in the Trusts best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination the Trustees make a decision as to whether to enter into the transaction agreement or arrangement. The minutes of the meeting reflect that the conflict disclosure was made to the Board, the vote taken and, where applicable, the abstention from voting and participation by the interested party. Whenever possible, the minutes frame the decision of the Board in such a way to provide guidance for consideration of future conflict of interest situations. To ensure the Trust operates in a manner consistent with its tax-exempt purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, the Board of Trustees conducts periodic reviews. The periodic reviews include, at a minimum, the following subjects: Whether the contractual arrangements with service providers and the services provided are reasonable, based on competent market and survey information, and the result of arm's length negotiation. Whether contractual arrangements with service providers and arrangements with other organizations conform to written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further tax-exempt purposes, and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction. Whether any transaction conducted by the Trust during the review period involves or could possibly give rise to a conflict of interest.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15: The Trust has no compensated management officials, officers or key employees. If the organization had such compensated individuals, policies and procedures would be developed to determine compensation.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Trust's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, financial statements and Form 990 are available to the general public upon written request sent to the president of the sponsor, Timber Products Manufacturers Inc., at 951 East Third Avenue, Spokane, WA 99202.
