Dave Colyer, Jackie Colyer, and Karval Pickering are siblings. Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 The governing body authorizes John Thorson to contract and review the 990 tax return. Preparer wrote a project proposal which was approved by the board, and John Thorson reviewed the return in full before approving it for e-file. Conflict of interest policy compliance Part VI line 12c All decisions are voted on by the board, and all members disclose any connections or interests they have with any prospective vendors or other third parties before those votes are taken. Paradise is a small community and many board members have a rich family history there, so those situations are not uncommon, and as one would expect in a small and tight-knit community, those connections are typically already known without the need for an explicit disclosure. Governing documents etc available to public Part VI line 19 All board meetings for the Paradise Center are open to the public and governing documents are available upon request at any of those open meetings Explanation of other changes in net assets or fund balances Part XI line 9 A small adjustment was made to reconcile amounts affected by rounding. For example, on last years 990-EZ, the end of year rounded total assets figure is different than the beginning of year total of each total asset after being rounded individually. There were many expense categories which happened to round up so the actual change to net assets is slightly different than the change after each amount is rounded.
