STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOLLOWING INVESTIGATION

Puisuant to section 106 25(4)(c), Florida Statutes, unde1signed staff counsel files this written recommendation for disposition of the complaint in this case recommending that there is probable cause to charge Respondent with violating Section 106.07(1), Florida Statutes Based upon a tho10ugh review of the Repo1t oflnvestigation submitted on Septembe1 19, 2014, the following facts and law suppo1t this staff recommendation:

1 On February 20, 2014, the Floiida Elections Commission ("Commission") received a refenal from the Department of State, Division of Elections ("Complainant") alleging that Pamela A White ("Respondent") violated Chapter 106, Florida Statutes.

2 Respondent is tieasurer for Florida Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists' PAC, a political committee registered with the Division of Elections

3 By letter dated August 22, 2014, the Executive Director notified Respondent that Commission staff would investigate the following statuto1y provision:

Section 106.07(1), Florida Statutes: Pamela A White, treasure1 of the F!oiida Society of Health Systems Phaimacists' PAC, failed to timely file the committee's 2013 Ml2 repo1t when it was due on Januaiy 10, 2014

4. On Decembe1 26, 2012, the committee filed its Appointment of Campaign Treasurer and Designation of Campaign Depository fo1 Political Committees fo1m ("DS-DE 6") and appointed Respondent as its Tieasuie1 (ROI Exhibit 1)1

5 On Januaiy 2, 2013, Kiisti Bronson, Chief, Bureau of Election Reco1ds, mailed a letter to Respondent acknowledging he1 appointment as treasurer, and provided Respondent with her confidential PIN numbe1 to access the Division's elect~onic filing system (ROI Exhibit 2)

6 Ms.. B1onson's letter also advised Respondent that all of the Division's publications and reporting forms are available on their website, including Chapter 106, Floiida Statutes, the Political Committee Handbook, and the Calenda1 of Reporting Dates. Id

1 The Report of Investigation is refened to herein as "ROI."

7. The committee's 2013 M12 Report was due by January 10, 2014; however, Respondent failed to file the report (ROI Exhibit 6)

8. By letters dated January 13, 2014, and January 22, 2014, the Division informed Respondent that the committee's 2013 M12 Report had not been received Both letters were mailed to the address listed on the committee's DS-DE 6 form. (ROI Exhibit 3)

9 On or about February 3, 2014, the Division mailed a letter marked "Final Notice" to Respondent, which explained that the committee's 2013 M12 Report had not been filed The Division attached copies of the two previous failure-to-file letters along with the Final Notice letter The Final Notice letter was confirmed delivered on February 4, 2014 .. (ROI Exhibit 4)

10. In reviewing the committee's monthly bank statements, Commission staff determined that the committee made two expenditures during the 2013 Ml2 reporting cycle .. The committee wrote a check ( # 1120) for $731 .25 that was paid on December 31, 2013, arrd the bank charged the campaign account a $12 .00 maintenarrce foe that was paid on December 31, 2013 Therefore, Respondent was required to file the 2013 M12 Report disclosing finarrcial activity (ROI Exhibit 5)2

1 L Despite having received three written reminders fiom the Division, as of September 19, 2014, Respondent still had not filed the committee's 2013 M12 Report

12 "Probable Cause" is defined as reasonable grnunds of suspicion supported by circumstances sufficiently strnng to warrant a cautious person in the belief that the person has committed the offense charged Schmitt v State, 590 So 2d 404, 409 (Fla. 1991) Probable cause exists where the facts and circumstances, of which an [investigator) has reasonably trnstworthy information, are sufficient in themselves for a reasonable man to reach the conclusion that arr offense has been committed Department of Highw(ly Safety and Motor Vehicles v. Favino, 667 So 2d 305, 309 (Fla .. 1'1 DCA 1995}.

13. The facts set forth above show that Respondent is the treasurer for Florida Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists' PAC.

2 Complainant is the Division of Elections.

3 Respondent's filing officer is Kristi Reid-Brnnson, Chief, Bureau of Election Records

II. Alleged Violation of Section 106.07(1), Florida Statutes:

4 I investigated whether Respondent violated this section of election laws by failing to file the committee's 2013 Ml2 Report after receiving notice that the report was due

5 On December 26, 2012, Florida Society of Health-System Pharmacists' PAC (committee) filed an Appointment of Campaign Treasurer and Designation of Campaign Depository for Political Committees (DS-DE 6) form with the Division of Elections, appointing Respondent treasurer of the committee To view a copy of the DS-DE 6 form, please refer to Exhibit 1

6 On January 2, 2013, Ms Bronson sent Respondent a letter acknowledging her appointinent as treasurer, and prnvided Respondent with her confidential PIN number allowing her access to the Division's electronic filing system (EFS)

7. The letter also advised Respondent that all of the Division's publications and reporting forms are available on their website, including Chapter 106, Florida Statutes, the Political Committee Handbook, and the Calendar of Reporting Dates. The letter further advised Respondent that it was her responsibility to read, understand, and follow the requirements of

.1

Florida's election laws .. To view a copy of the acknowledgement letter, please refe1 to Exhibit 2

8 The Division sent Respondent a letter dated January 13, 2014, informing her that the committee's report due January 10, 2014 (2013 M12 Report) had not been received; a second failure-to-file letter dated Januaiy 22, 2014, was mailed to Respondent Both letters were mailed to Respondent at the address provided on the committee's DS-DE 6 form (Exhibit 1) To view copies of the letters, please refer to Exhibit 3 ..

9. On February 3, 2014, the Division sent Respondent a letter marked "Final Notice" stating that the committee's 2013 M12 Report had not been filed Copies of the failure-to-file letters previously provided as Exhibit 3 were included with the Final Notice. The Final Notice was mailed to Respondent at the address provided on the committee's DS-DE 6 fo1m (Exhibit 1) and was delivered on February 4, 2014 To view copies of the Final Notice, without attachments, and the delivery confirmation, please refer to Exhibit 4

10 Commission staff subpoenaed the committee's monthly bank statements to determine whether Respondent was required to file a 2013 M12 report disclosing any contributions and/or expenditures during the report's cover period 1 Review of those records reflect check number 1120 in the ainount of $73125 was paid from the committee's account on December 31, 2013, and a withdrawal/debit in the amount of $12.00 for a maintenance fee, which also occurred on December 31, 2013 To view a copy of the relevant monthly bank statement, please refer to Exhibit 5.

11. Based upon the committee's monthly bank statement (Exhibit 5), it appears Respondent was required to file a 2013 Ml2 report on behalf of the committee disclosing at least two expenditures

12 No record of Respondent having previously violated this section of law was found

III. FEC History:

13 Respondent is currently being investigated for failing to file other campaign reports in a timely manner Case numbers F EC 14-086 and 14-147 will be heard during the October 2014 Commission meeting

Conclusion:

14. The committee's filing history reflects that as of the date of this report, their 2013 M12 Report remains un-filed .. To view a copy of the committee's filing history, please refer to Exhibit 6

15 On February 21, 2014, the Commission sent Respondent a letter via certified mail informing her that it received a referral from the Division alleging a violation of Florida's election laws.

2

I

16 On August 22, 2014, the Commission sent Respondent a letter informing her that the Division's refoIIal was found to be legally sufficient and the Commission would be investigating Respondent's alleged failure to file the committee's 2013 M12 Repo1t The letter advised Respondent she could file a notarized statement providing any information regarding the facts surrounding the allegation Respondent did not provide a notaiized statement. To view a copy of the Commission's August 22, 2014 letter, please refor to Exhibit 8

17. On September 4, 2014, I sent Respondent a questionnaire-affidavit asking her to state the reason she has not filed the committee's 2013 M12 Report As of the date of this repmt, Respondent has not returned the questionnaire-affidavit, and the questionnaire-affidavit has not been returned by the post office To view a copy of the questionnaire-affidavit, please refor to Exhibit 9

18 On September 3 and September 15, 2014, I left voicemail messages asking Respondent to return my call so that she may have an oppo1tunity to respond to the allegations in the Division's refonal As of the date of this report, Respondent has not returned my calls

19 Because Respondent has not returned my telephone calls or an affidavit, I am unable to ascertain whether she has read Chapter 106, Floiida Statutes, and/or the Political Committee Handbook
