Hi Juan,

Just checking in to see if we are still on for Friday at 1pm Also, I asked staff to review the file for the Democratic Party and wanted you to have the benefit of some of these items prior to coming over We can discuss in greater detail then, but wanted to give you a head's up ..

These are the outstanding issues the Party has on reports:

Ql-12 Report: Fine $50- Fine letter dated was returned to us Incomplete letter was returned to us. See attached.

G4-12 Report: Incomplete letter was returned to us.

F3-12 Report: Failure to file letter was returned to us Fine $8,500- Fine letter was returned to us See attached

Q4-12 Report: Failure to file- I do not have a letter had not been sent

Most, if not all, letters we send are returned to us We may need an updated mailing address or simply please be advised that our letters are certified & that if you see certified mail from us, you should make a note to retrieve it because it is typically due to a deficiency in reporting.

We would like to request updated paperwork, so we have documentation related to the change in guard The documents needed are:

• Official letter with name/contact information of the chairperson • Receipt of Handbook and The Election Laws of the State of Florida (MD-ED2) • Campaign Treasurer's Report Electronic Filing Requirements for Miami-Dade County (MD-EDlO)

Pending Audit Reports: When my staff met with Cedric? last year, 2 were pending for 2009 & 2010 We still haven't received them

We need a copy of your current roster

During the 2012 election many candidate oaths received were incomplete, not filled out correctly or the wrong form was used You may want to consider giving a little training to your candidates or put a sample of a properly filled out form on your website They need to remember to write the precinct# & have the form notarized

We would like to get a formal opinion on the interpretation of their bylaws with regards to how many ( committeemen/women go on the ballot based on the number of registered voters

Thank you

Mr Richard J. Lydecker Miami-Dade County Democratic Executive Committee 801 Arthur Godfrey Road Suite 402A Miami Beach, FL 33140 I Dear Mr. Lydecker:

Our records indicate that on 2/3/201 0 an acknowledgment letter was mailed to you confirming the creation of a Party Executive Committee with Miami-Dade County This letter included pertinent information that has been affected by recent legislative changes.. Our office has updated our website as the changes have occurred. However, to ensure you are appropriately I informed of these important updates; this letter serves as a summary of key State and County ------toe-gislative-changes--lflat-iyo•l as a a Pad""""'E"'x"'ec,u"-'t'-'iv.::e..::C::..:o::::m::::m~itt::e:.:e:...------1- At the State level, House Bill 1355 passed the legislature, making significant changes to the Election Laws of the State of Florida. Among them was the Primary Election date being moved up two weeks and thus the 2012 Miami-Dade County Primary Election will take place on August 14, 2012 Since qualifying dates and campaign finance report dates correspond with the election date, these important dates have all changed. As such, please see the enclosed 2012 Campaign Treasurer Reporting Dates document, and review it carefully ..

At the local level, the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners (the Board) passed Ordinance 11-8'7, adopted on 11/13/11, amending Sections 12-17 and 12-21 of the Code of Miami-Dade County regarding the filing of your campaign finance reports with the Supervisor of Elections All entities filing with Miami-Dade County are now required to submit campaign finance reports only online. The original signed hardcopies ar·e no longer_reguired.

You will continue to file reports electronically through the Miami-Dade Elections website; however now your online submission must be received no later than midnight of the day designated, per Florida Statute 106. 0705(3) Any report that is received electronically after the designated date will be considered late and shall be subject to a fine in accordance with Florida Statute 106. 07

To sign-in, please continue using your currently designated user 10 and pas_sword When submitting your campaign reports electronically, you will now be required to use an electronic signature pin Your temporary signature pin is 1234 and your campaign treasurer's signature pin is 56'78 For security reasons, you are encouraged to reset these with unique four digit signature pins ·

Please note, both the reporting dates and method of reporting have changed. We are taking this opportunity to also provide you with a new resource entitled "Guidelines to a Successful Campaign Report .. " We find that most mistakes are common and require the filing of amendment reports to rectify deficiencies Utilizing .these tips wjll- help redupe · the !)eed for additional reporting on your end · · · · ·· · · ·· ' ·· ·

' (

Letter to Mr:. Richard J L'} iker 2011 Legislative Changes Page2 ·

Lastly, the Board also passed Ordinance 11-93 on 12/06/11, amending Section 12-14 of the Code of Miami-Dade County pertaining to absentee ballot handling.. This amendment added penalties for picking up and/or returning absentee ballots in excess of those authorized in accordance with Miami-Dad.e County's designee policy The amendment further clarifies that the absentee ballot policy applies to the pick-up and return of ballots by hand, mail, or other methods. Failure to comply can now result in a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1 ,000 00) or imprisonment in the County jail for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days, or by both such fine and imprisonment Section 12-14 of the Code of Miami-Dade County will now be provided with all absentee ballot data requests fulfilled by our Public Services Counter

The Miami-Dade County Committees Handbook has been updated to include these changes This handbook as well as access to the above-referenced legislation can be found at www.miamidade.gov/elections/committees.asp. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with these resources to ensure your continued compliance with applicable laws

If you have any questions pertaining to this letter, please do not hesitate to contact the Candidate Services Unit at 305-499-8410.

Sincerely,

Christina White Deputy Supervisor of Elections Miami-Dade Elections Department------

Hi Juan,

Just checking in to see if we are still on for Friday at 1pm Also, I asked staff to review the file for the Democratic Party and wanted you to have the benefit of some of these items prior to coming over. We can discuss in greater detail then, but wanted to give you a head's up

These are the outstanding issues the Party has on reports:

Ql-12 Report: Fine $50- Fine letter dated was returned to us Incomplete letter was returned to us. See attached

G4-12 Report: Incomplete letter was returned to us See attached.

F3-12 Report: Failure to file letter was returned to us Fine $8,500- Fine letter was returned to us See attached

Q4-12 Report: Failure to file- 1 do not have a letter had not been sent.

Most, if not all, letters we send are returned to us. We may need an updated mailing address or simply please be advised that our letters are certified & that if you see certified mail from us, you should make a note to retrieve it because it is typically due to a deficiency in reporting

We would like to request updated paperwork, so we have documentation related to the change in guard The documents needed are:

Pending Audit Reports: When my staff met with Cedric? last year, 2 were pending for 2009 & 2010 We still haven't received them

We need a copy of your current roster

We would like to get a formal opinion on the interpretation of their bylaws with regards to how many (

committeemen/women go on the ballot based on the number of registered voters ..

Mr Richard J. Lydecker Miami-Dade County Democratic Executive Committee 801 Arthur Godfrey Road Suite 402A Miami Beach, FL 33140

Dear Mr. Lydecker:

Our records indicate that on 2/3/2010 an acknowledgment letter was mailed to you confirming the creation of a Party Executive Committee with Miami-Dade County. This letter included pertinent information that has been affected by recent legislative changes.. Our office has updated our website as the changes have occurred However, to ensure you are appropriately informed of these important updates, this letter serves as a summary of key State and County -,-----lle

At the State level, House Bill 1355 passed the legislature, making significant changes to the Election Laws of the State of Florida Among them was the Primary Election date being moved up two weeks and thus the 2012 Miami-Dade County Primary Election will take place on August 14, 2012. Since qualifying dates and campaign finance report dates correspond with the election date, these important dates have all changed. As such, please see the enclosed 2012 Campaign Treasurer Reporting Dates document, and review it carefully

At the local level, the Miami Dade Board of County Commissioners (the Board) passed Ordinance 11-87, adopted on 11/13/11, amending Sections 12-17 and 12-21 of the Code of Miami-Dade County regarding the filing of your campaign finance reports with the Supervisor of Elections All entities filing with Miami .. Dade County are now required to submit campaign finance reports only online. The original signed hardcopies are no ,longer required.

You will continue to file reports electronically through the Miami-Dade Elections website; however now your online submission must be received no later than midnight of the day designated, per Florida Statute 106.0705(3) Any report that is received electronically after the designated date will be considered late and shall be subject to a fine in accordance with Florida Statute 106 07

To sign-·in, please continue using your currently designated user lD and password When submitting your campaign reports electronically, you will now be required to use an electronic signature pin. Your temporary signature pin is 1234 and your campaign treasurer's signature pin is 5678. For security reasons, you are encouraged to reset these with unique four digit signature pins

Please note, both the reporting d;ltes and method of reporting have changed We are taking this opportunity to also provide you with a new resource entitled "Guidelines to a Successful Campaign Report." We find that most mistakes are common and require the filing of amendment reports to rectify deficiencies Utilizing these tips will help reduce the need for additional reporting on your end · Letter to Mr Richard J Ly · ker 2011 Legislative Changes Page2

Lastly, the Board also passed Ordinance 11··93 on 12/06/11, amending Section 12··14 of the Code of Miami-Dade County pertaining to absentee ballot handling This amendment added penalties for picking up and/or returning absentee ballots in excess of those authorized in accordance with Miami-Dad

The Miami-Dade County Committees Handbook has been updated to include these changes. This handbook as well as access to the above-referenced legislation can be found at www.miamidade.gov/elections/committees.asp We encourage you to familiarize yourself with these resources to ensure your continued compliance with applicable laws.

If you have any questions pertaining to this letter, please do not hesitate to contact the Candidate Services Unit at 305-499-8410

Sincerely,

Christina White Deputy Supervisor of Elections Miami·Dade Elections Department
