| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | TU IS HARD AT WORK TO REMOVE ENLOE DAM ON THE SIMILKAMEEN RIVER, WHICH WOULD OPEN HUNDREDS OF MILES OF SALMON AND STEELHEAD HABITAT IN THE UPPER COLUMBIA BASIN. A FEASIBILITY STUDY IS UNDERWAY WITH THE GOAL OF HAVING THE DAM REMOVAL ALTERNATIVES AND 30 PERCENT DESIGN COMPLETED BY WINTER 2025. THE FEASIBILITY STUDY WILL BE INFORMED BY A REPORT THAT TU COMPLETED IN JUNE 2023 WITH $205,000 RECEIVED FROM THE WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATURE. THE REPORT IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL ENTITIES WHO MIGHT UNDERTAKE THE DAM REMOVAL, A ROAD MAP AND SEQUENCING PLAN FOR DAM REMOVAL, OPTIONS FOR SEDIMENT REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL, AND A STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH PLAN. CALIFORNIA TU'S LONG CAMPAIGN WITH TRIBAL AND CONSERVATION PARTNERS TO TAKE OUT FOUR OLD DAMS ON THE KLAMATH RIVER REACHED ANOTHER MILESTONE. BY THE END OF THIS MONTH, THE FIRST OF THESE DAMS TO COME OUT - COPCO II, A DIVERSION DAM - WILL BE COMPLETELY GONE, AND THE ORIGINAL RIVER CHANNEL RECONNECTED. THE THREE REMAINING DAMS WILL BE REMOVED BY THE END OF 2024, RESTORING SALMON AND STEELHEAD ACCESS TO MORE THAN 400 MILES OF SPAWNING AND REARING HABITAT. OUR CALIFORNIA PROGRAM HAS BEEN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL IN SECURING FEDERAL FUNDING FOR HABITAT RESTORATION. TU'S INLAND TROUT PROGRAM, WHICH IS DRIVING RESTORATION OF HEADWATERS AND MEADOWS IN THE NATIVE RANGES OF GOLDEN TROUT, LAHONTAN CUTTHROAT, AND EAGLE LAKE RAINBOW TROUT, EARNED $7 MILLION IN NEW HABITAT RESTORATION GRANTS. OUR NORTH COAST COHO AND STEELHEAD PROJECT (NCCP) WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE NOAA RESTORATION CENTER AS ONE OF NINE NATIONAL PARTNERS IN THE SPOTLIGHT FOR 2023, AND GARNERED NEARLY $300,000 IN NEW FEDERAL GRANTS, WITH SEVERAL MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN STATE GRANTS PENDING. THE CALIFORNIA WATER PROGRAM WAS AWARDED MORE THAN $8.4 MILLION IN NEW GRANTS FOR BOOSTING STREAMFLOW AND RECONNECTING HABITAT IN PRIORITY WATERS FOR CENTRAL COAST STEELHEAD AND CENTRAL VALLEY CHINOOK. ALSO IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY, OUR CALIFORNIA SCIENCE PROGRAM RECEIVED $300,000 TO LEAD LANDSCAPE SCALE SALMON RECOVERY PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION AS PART OF THE REORIENTING TO RECOVERY INITIATIVE IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY. A CRITICAL PIECE OF THIS WORK IS PARTNERING WITH AFFECTED TRIBES TO INTEGRATE TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE INTO THE BROADER BODY OF SALMON DATA BEING APPLIED TO HABITAT RESTORATION. LASTLY, OUR CONSERVATION HYDROLOGY TEAM WAS AWARDED NEARLY $500,000 FROM NOAA TO DEVELOP A REGIONAL DROUGHT FORECASTING MODEL BASED ON DATA COLLECTED FROM THIS PROGRAM'S GROWING NETWORK OF STREAMFLOW, RIFFLE DEPTH, AND DISSOLVED OXYGEN MONITORING STATIONS -- NOW THE LARGEST NON-GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEM OF STREAM GAGES IN THE STATE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6 | TU HAS 8 CLASSES OF MEMBERSHIP: REGULAR, FAMILY, TEEN, YOUTH, LIFE, GIFT, GRIFFITH CIRCLE, AND BUSINESS. SOMEONE BECOMES A MEMBER OF TU BY PAYING AT LEAST THE REGULAR ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP PRICE, WHICH GIVES THEM ONE VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7A | THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD PRESENTS THE SLATE OF BOARD MEMBERS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF TU FOR APPROVAL BY THE MEMBERSHIP. ANY MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING THAT IS PRESENT OR WHO HAS SUBMITTED A PROXY IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING IS ALLOWED TO VOTE ON THE SLATE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7B | THE MEMBERSHIP ONLY APPROVES THE SLATE OF BOARD MEMBERS AND CHANGES TO THE BYLAWS AS PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | THE FORM 990 WAS PREPARED BY THE OUTSIDE ACCOUNTANTS AND REVIEWED BY THE CFO AND THE CONTROLLER. A COPY OF THE FORM 990 WAS MADE ELECTRONICALLY AVAILABLE TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | A COPY OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND A QUESTIONNAIRE CONCERNING BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS IS SENT TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS EACH FISCAL YEAR. THE BOARD MEMBERS RETURN THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRE TO THE NOMINATING AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, WHO MONITORS COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICY. EACH EMPLOYEE HAS A DUTY TO DISCLOSE TO THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER THE MATERIAL FACTS OF ANY PROPOSED TRANSACTION OF TU IN WHICH SUCH PERSON HAS ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. AN EMPLOYEE HAVING AN ACTUAL OR PROPOSED CONFLICT OF INTEREST SHALL NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE DELIBERATIONS OR DECISION-MAKING PROCESS OF TU REGARDING THE MATTER UNDER CONSIDERATION. HOWEVER, HE OR SHE SHALL PROVIDE TU WITH ANY AND ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE MATTER. THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER SHALL TAKE SUCH ADDITIONAL ACTION AS MAY BE REQUIRED TO ENSURE THAT THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS RESOLVED, AND SHALL MAINTAIN A RECORD OF THE EXISTENCE AND RESOLUTION OF THE CONFLICT. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD APPOINTS A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE THAT CONSISTS OF NON-COMPENSATED BOARD MEMBERS, INCLUDING THE CHAIRMAN. THIS COMMITTEE MEETS AT LEAST ANNUALLY TO REVIEW THE COMPENSATION PACKAGES FOR THE CEO AND OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES, AND COMPARE THE PACKAGES TO THE GENERAL MARKET AND SIMILAR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, ALONG WITH THE RESULTS OF AN INDEPENDENT SALARY SURVEY CONDUCTED BY AN EXTERNAL CONSULTANT. THEY ALSO REVIEW THE WORK PLANS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE EVALUATIONS OF KEY EMPLOYEES WHEN DETERMINING THE FINAL COMPENSATION. COMPENSATION REVIEWS FOR THE CEO AND OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES ARE DONE ON AN ANNUAL OR FISCAL YEAR BASIS, MOST RECENTLY IN JANUARY 2024. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 | TU POSTS ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, TAX RETURNS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON ITS WEBSITE AND WILL MAKE COPIES OF THE DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST FOR THE SAME PERIOD OF DISCLOSURE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6104(D). |
