Page 1 of 1
I contacted the Supervisor of Elections Office to confirm your voter registration and at
this time, I cannot confirm. They do not show you as living at 743 Manatee Bay Drive.
They do show a Joshua Padgette at another location, but there's no way I can confirm
that is you unless I see your voter's registration card. Please bring in the card at your
earliest possible convenience. Thank you.

LOG OF DI5.CUSSIONS WITH JOSHUA PADGETTE
DATE TIME DISCUSSION
02/24/09 3:00 Met with Joshua Padgette who requested
information regarding running for Mayor in
March 2010. Gave him information on what is
required and also gave him the Appointment of
Campaign Treasurer & Designation of
Depository form which he claims he will return
to me on Monday, March 2 at a 9:00
appointment with me. I also gave him a copy
of the Sunshine Amendment and Code of
Ethics. At that time, I will give him the
Statement of Candidate and Chapter 106 along
with other information he requested. Copies
of the info will be ready for him.
03/02/09 9:00 Met with Josh and Nick this morning. Josh
turned in his Appointment of Campaign
Treasurer and Designation of Campaign
Depository. Nick has agreed to be his
Treasurer. Josh didn't have his voter's card
with him so I advised I would contact the SOE
for confirmation. Nick advised his card shows
him as living at 173 Morgans Way in Palm
Springs. He submitted a change of address.
Called SOE's Office and spoke with Denise.
She confirmed that Nick is a registered voter.
She confirmed that she had a registered voter
by the name of Joshua Padgette who lived in
Via Lugano, but not at the Manatee Bay Drive
address. I called Josh to advise I needed a
copy of his registration. He called me back
and confirmed he previously lived in Via
Lugano and offered to bring in his voter's
registration so that I could copy it. Also, he
advised he submitted a new address, but had
not vet received his card from SOE.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CAMPAIGN TREASURER'S REPORT - ITEMIZED EXPENDITURES
(1) Type candidate's full name or name of the political committee (PC), committee of continuous existence (CCE) or
party executive committee (PTY).
(2) Type identification number assigned by the Division of Elections.
(3) Type cover period dates (07/01/03 through 09/30/03). (See Calendar and Election Dates for appropriate cover
periods.)
(4) Type page numbers (e.g.,.1 of ~).
(5) Type date of expenditure (Month/Day/Year).
(6) Sequence Number - Each detail line shall have a sequence number assigned to it. Sequence numbers are to be
assigned within each reporting period and for each type of detail line. Thus the report type, detail line type, and
sequence number will combine to uniquely identify a specific contribution, expenditure, distribution or fund transfer.
This method of unique identification is required for responding to requests from the Division and for reporting
requirements.
For example, a 01 report having 40 expenditures would use sequence numbers 1 through 40. The next report
(02), comprised of 30 expenditures would use sequence numbers 1 through 30. Expenditures on amended 01
reports would begin with sequence number 41 and on amended 02 reports would begin with sequence number 31.
See Amendment Type instructions below.
(7) Type full name and address of entity receiving payment (including city, state and zip code).
(8) Type purpose of expenditure (if expenditure is a contribution to a candidate, also type the office sought by the
candidate). PLEASE NOTE: This column does not apply to candidate expenditures, as candidates cannot
contribute to other candidates from campaign funds. However, PCs (supporting candidates), CCEs and party
executive committees contributing to candidates must report office sought (Section 106.07, F.S)
(9) Enter Expenditure Type using one of the following codes:
DESCRIPTION . CODE

(10) Amendment Type (required on amended reports) - To add a new (previously unreported) expenditure for the
reporting period being amended, enter "ADD" in amendment type on a line with ALL of the required data.
The sequence number for expenditures with amendment type "ADD" will start at one plus the number of
expenditures in the original report. For example, amending an original Q 1 reports that had 75 expenditures, means
the sequence number of the first expenditure having amendment type "ADD" will be 76; the second "ADD"
expenditure would have sequence number 39.
To correct a oreviouslv submitted exoenditure use the followinQ drop/add procedure. Enter "DEL" in amendment
type on a line' with the 'sequence number of the expenditure to be corrected In combination with the report number
being amended, this sequence number will identify the expenditure to be dropped from your active records. On the
next line enter "ADD" in amendment type and ALL of the required data with the necessary corrections thus
replacing the dropped data. Assign the sequence number as described above.

(1) Each candidate who withdraws his or her candidacy, becomes an unopposed candidate, or is
eliminated as a candidate or elected to office shall, within 90 days, dispose of the funds on deposit
in his or her campaign account and file a report reflecting the disposition of all remaining funds.
Such candidate shall not accept any contributions, nor shall any person accept contributions on
behalf of such candidate, after the candidate withdraws his or her candidacy, becomes unopposed,
or is eliminated or elected. However, if a candidate receives a refund check after all surplus funds
have been disposed of, the check may be endorsed by the candidate and the refund disposed of
under this section. An amended report must be filed showing the refund and subsequent
disposition.
(2) Any candidate required to dispose of funds pursuant to this section may, prior to such
disposition, be reimbursed by the campaign, in full or in part, for any reported contributions by the
candidate to the campaign.
(3) The campaign treasurer of a candidate who withdraws his or her candidacy, becomes
unopposed, or is eliminated as a candidate or elected to office and who has funds on deposit in a
separate interest-bearing account or certificate of deposit shall, within 7 days after the date of
becoming unopposed or the date of such withdrawal, elimination, or election, transfer such funds
and the accumulated interest earned thereon to the campaign account of the candidate for
disposal under this section. However, if the funds are in an account in which penalties will apply
for withdrawal within the 7-day period, the campaign treasurer shall transfer such funds and the
accumulated interest earned thereon as soon as the funds can be withdrawn without penalty, or
within 90 days after the candidate becomes unopposed, withdraws his or her candidacy, or is
eliminated or elected, whichever comes first.
(4)(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), any candidate required to dispose of funds pursuant to
this section shall, at the option of the candidate, dispose of such funds by any of the following
means, or any combination thereof:
1. Return pro rata to each contributor the funds that have not been spent or obligated.
2. Donate the funds that have not been spent or obligated to a charitable organization or
organizations that meet the qualifications of s. 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
3. Give not more than $10,000 of the funds that have not been spent or obligated to the political
party of which such candidate is a member, except that a candidate for the Florida Senate may
give not more than $30,000 of such funds to the political party of which the candidate is a
member.
4. Give the funds that have not been spent or obligated:
a. In the case of a candidate for state office, to the state, to be deposited in either the 'Election

him or her, or who filed both such oaths, or who qualified by the petition process and was not
required to pay an election assessment, shall reimburse the state or local governmental entity,
whichever is applicable, for such waived assessment or fee or both. Such reimbursement shall be
made first for the cost of petition verification and then, if funds are remaining, for the amount of

Revenue Fund. All reimbursements for the amount of the election assessment shall be forwarded by
