25 F.L.W.Supp 243a (Fla. 11th Cir. Ct. May 5, 2017) (online at
myfloridalegal.com). City violated public records law “by
failing to maintain electronic communications [which were
located on city officials’ private cellphones] in a manner that
prevents their accidental destruction or deletion by individual
city officials.” The Court ordered the defendants to require all
City Officials or employees who use electronic devices to
communicate regarding matters of official business to conduct
those communications only on devices that record those
communications onto servers directly accessible by the City’s
Public Records Custodian.

31 Agenda Item #2A.27 Feb 2019Page 33 of 78
32
Scenario III
My husband Walter just loves to play
golf-he’d rather play golf than eat. As
good fortune would have it, George -the
owner of land in the City -has invited
him on an all-expenses-paid weekend of
golf at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club in
Orlando. He even gave him a brand new
set of irons to play with and let him keep
them! The timing is kind of crazy because
George wants to rezone his land where I
serve as CDB Chair. George even called
me to say “don’t forget who is taking care
of your old man’s golfing needs.”
It’s okay for my Walter to have a little fun
with George paying the tab-isn’t it?Agenda Item #2A.27 Feb 2019Page 34 of 78
33
Scenario –a variation on the previous
scenario regarding Walter
Assume the prior set of facts, but change it to say that instead of
George “offering” to give the trip and the golf clubs to Walter,
the board chair “asks” George to provide the trip and the golf
clubs to Walter.
Would that be a problem?Agenda Item #2A.27 Feb 2019Page 35 of 78
34
Scenario IV
My son-in-law is the sole owner of a
cleaning service business. He made a
proposal to do the cleaning service for
the community centers in the City, for
the City where I serve as a CARAC
committee member. The staff has
negotiated a contract with his firm,
which is coming up for a vote on our
agenda next week. I had nothing to do
with any of the selection or contracting
process.
When this comes up for a vote, what
should I do?Agenda Item #2A.27 Feb 2019Page 36 of 78

Page 40 of 78
Examples:— You are the sole proprietor of a dry cleaning business, from which you received more than 10% of your gross income—an amount that was more than $1,500. If only one customer, a uniform rental company, provided more than 10% of your dry cleaning business, you must list the name of the uniform rental company, its address, and its principal business activity (uniform rentals). — You are a 20% partner in a partnership that owns a shopping mall and your partnership income exceeded the thresholds listed above. You should list each tenant of the mall that provided more than 10% of the partnership’s gross income, and the tenant’s address and principal business activity.PART C — REAL PROPERTY[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(a)3, F.S.]In this part, list the location or description of all real property in Florida in which you owned directly or indirectly at any time during the disclosure period in excess of 5% of the property’s value. You are not required to list your residences. You should list any vacation homes, if you derive income from them.Indirect ownership includes situations where you are a beneficiary of a trust that owns the property, as well as situations where you own more than 5% of a partnership or corporation that owns the property. The value of the property may be determined by the most recently assessed value for tax purposes, in the absence of a more current appraisal.The location or description of the property should be sufficient to enable anyone who looks at the form to identify the property. A street address should be used, if one exists. PART D — INTANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(a)3, F.S.] Describe any intangible personal property that, at any time during the disclosure period, was worth more than 10% of your total assets, and state the business entity to which the property related. Intangible personal property includes things such as cash on hand, stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, vehicle leases, interests in businesses, beneficial interests in trusts, money owed you, Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) accounts, the Florida Prepaid College Plan, and bank accounts. Intangible personal property also includes investment products held in IRAs, brokerage accounts, and the Florida College Investment Plan. Note that the product contained in a brokerage account, IRA, or the Florida College Investment Plan is your asset—not the account or plan itself. Things like automobiles and houses you own, jewelry, and paintings are not intangible property. Intangibles relating to the same business entity may be aggregated; for example, CD’s and savings accounts with the same bank. Calculations: To determine whether the intangible property exceeds 10% of your total assets, total the fair market value of all of your assets (including real property, intangible property, and tangible personal property such as jewelry, furniture, etc.). When making this calculation, do not subtract any liabilities (debts) that may relate to the property. Multiply the total figure by 10% to arrive at the disclosure threshold. List only the intangibles that exceed this threshold amount. The value of a leased vehicle is the vehicle’s present value minus the lease residual (a number which can be found on the lease document). Property that is only jointly owned property should be valued according to the percentage of your joint ownership. Property owned as tenants by the entirety or as joint tenants with right of survivorship should be valued at 100%. None of your calculations or the value of the property have to be disclosed on the form. Example: You own 50% of the stock of a small corporation that is worth $100,000, the estimated fair market value of your home and other property (bank accounts, automobile, furniture, etc.) is $200,000. As your total assets are worth $250,000, you must disclose intangibles worth over $25,000. Since the value of the stock exceeds this threshold, you should list “stock” and the name of the corporation. If your accounts with a particular bank exceed $25,000, you should list “bank accounts” and bank’s name.PART E — LIABILITIES[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)4, F.S.] List the name and address of each creditor to whom you owed any amount that, at any time during the disclosure period, exceeded your net worth. You are not required to list the amount of any debt or your net worth. You do not have to disclose: credit card and retail installment accounts, taxes owed (unless reduced to a judgment), indebtedness on a life insurance policy owed to the company of issuance, or contingent liabilities. A “contingent liability” is one that will become an actual liability only when one or more future events occur or fail to occur, such as where you are liable only as a guarantor, surety, or endorser on a promissory note. If you are a “co-maker” and are jointly liable or jointly and severally liable, it is not a contingent liability. Calculations: To determine whether the debt exceeds your net worth, total all of your liabilities (including promissory notes, mortgages, credit card debts, judgments against you, etc.). The amount of the liability of a vehicle lease is the sum of any past-due payments and all unpaid prospective lease payments. Subtract the sum total of your liabilities from the value of all your assets as calculated above for Part D. This is your “net worth.” List each creditor to whom your debt exceeded this amount unless it is one of the types of indebtedness listed in the paragraph above (credit card and retail installment accounts, etc.). Joint liabilities with others for which you are “jointly and severally liable,” meaning that you may be liable for either your part or the whole of the obligation, should be included in your calculations at 100% of the amount owed.Example: You owe $15,000 to a bank for student loans, $5,000 for credit card debts, and $60,000 (with spouse) to a savings and loan for a home mortgage. Your home (owned by you and your spouse) is worth $80,000 and your other property is worth $20,000. Since your net worth is $20,000 ($100,000 minus $80,000), you must report only the name and address of the savings and loan.PART F — INTERESTS IN SPECIFIED BUSINESSES[Required by s. 112.3145, F.S.]The types of businesses covered in this disclosure include: state and federally chartered banks; state and federal savings and loan associations; cemetery companies; insurance companies; mortgage companies; credit unions; small loan companies; alcoholic beverage licensees; pari-mutuel wagering companies, utility companies, entities controlled by the Public Service Commission; and entities granted a franchise to operate by either a city or a county government.Disclose in this part the fact that you owned during the disclosure period an interest in, or held any of certain positions with, the types of businesses listed above.

PART A — PRIMARY SOURCES OF INCOME[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)1, F.S.]Part A is intended to require the disclosure of your principal sources of income during the disclosure period. You do not have to disclose the amount of income received, and you need not list your public salary from serving in the position(s) which requires you to file this form. The income of your spouse need not be disclosed; however, if there is joint income to you and your spouse from property you own jointly (such as interest or dividends from a bank account or stocks), you should disclose the source of that income if it exceeded the threshold. Please list in this part of the form the name, address, and principal business activity of each source of your income which exceeded $2,500 of gross income received by you in your own name or by any other person for your use or benefit."Gross income" means the same as it does for income tax purposes, even if the income is not actually taxable, such as interest on tax-free bonds. Examples include: compensation for services, income from business, gains from property dealings, interest, rents, dividends, pensions, IRA distributions, social security, distributive share of partnership gross income, and alimony, but not child support.Examples:— If you were employed by a company that manufactures computers and received more than $2,500, list the name of the company, its address, and its principal business activity (computer manufacturing).— If you were a partner in a law firm and your distributive share of partnership gross income exceeded $2,500, list the name of the firm, its address, and its principal business activity (practice of law).— If you were the sole proprietor of a retail gift business and your gross income from the business exceeded $2,500, list the name of the business, its address, and its principal business activity (retail gift sales).— If you received income from investments in stocks and bonds, list each individual company from which you derived more than $2,500. Do not aggregate all of your investment income.— If more than $2,500 of your gross income was gain from the sale of property (not just the selling price), list as a source of income the purchaser’s name, address and principal business activity. If the purchaser’s identity is unknown, such as where securities listed on an exchange are sold through a brokerage firm, the source of income should be listed as "sale of (name of company) stock," for example.— If more than $2,500 of your gross income was in the form of interest from one particular financial institution (aggregating interest from all CD’s, accounts, etc., at that institution), list the name of the institution, its address, and its principal business activity.PART B — SECONDARY SOURCES OF INCOME[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)2, F.S.]This part is intended to require the disclosure of major customers, clients, and other sources of income to businesses in which you own an interest. It is not for reporting income from second jobs. That kind of income should be reported in Part A "Primary Sources of Income," if it meets the reporting threshold. You will not have anything to report unless, during the disclosure period:(1) You owned (either directly or indirectly in the form of an equitable or beneficial interest) more than 5% of the total assets or capital stock of a business entity (a corporation, partnership, LLC, limited partnership, proprietorship, joint venture, trust, firm, etc., doing business in Florida); and,(2) You received more than $5,000 of your gross income during the disclosure period from that business entity.If your interests and gross income exceeded these thresholds, then for that business entity you must list every source of income to the business entity which exceeded 10% of the business entity’s gross income (computed on the basis of the business entity's most recently completed fiscal year), the source’s address, and the source's principal business activity.Examples:— You are the sole proprietor of a dry cleaning business, from which you received more than $5,000. If only one customer, a uniform rental company, provided more than 10% of your dry cleaning business, you must list the name of the uniform rental company, its address, and its principal business activity (uniform rentals). — You are a 20% partner in a partnership that owns a shopping mall and your partnership income exceeded the above thresholds. List each tenant of the mall that provided more than 10% of the partnership's gross income and the tenant's address and principal business activity.PART C — REAL PROPERTY[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)3, F.S.]In this part, list the location or description of all real property in Florida in which you owned directly or indirectly at any time during the disclosure period in excess of 5% of the property’s value. You are not required to list your residences. You should list any vacation homes if you derive income from them.Indirect ownership includes situations where you are a beneficiary of a trust that owns the property, as well as situations where you own more than 5% of a partnership or corporation that owns the property. The value of the property may be determined by the most recently assessed value for tax purposes, in the absence of a more current appraisal.The location or description of the property should be sufficient to enable anyone who looks at the form to identify the property. A street address should be used, if one exists. PART D — INTANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)3, F.S.]Describe any intangible personal property that, at any time during the disclosure period, was worth more than $10,000 and state the business entity to which the property related. Intangible personal property includes things such as cash on hand, stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, vehicle leases, interests in businesses, beneficial interests in trusts, money owed you, Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) accounts, the Florida Prepaid College Plan, and bank accounts. Intangible personal property also includes investment products held in IRAs, brokerage accounts, and the Florida College Investment Plan. Note that the product contained in a brokerage account, IRA, or the Florida College Investment Plan is your asset—not the account or plan itself. Things like automobiles and houses you own, jewelry, and paintings are not intangible property. Intangibles relating to the same business entity may be aggregated; for example, CDs and savings accounts with the same bank. Property owned as tenants by the entirety or as joint tenants with right of survivorship should be valued at 100%. The value of a leased vehicle is the vehicle’s present value minus the lease residual (a number found on the lease document). PART E — LIABILITIES[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)4, F.S.]List the name and address of each creditor to whom you owed more than $10,000 at any time during the disclosure period.

You do not have to disclose credit card and retail installment accounts, taxes owed (unless reduced to a judgment), indebtedness on a life insurance policy owed to the company of issuance, or contingent liabilities. A “contingent liability” is one that will become an actual liability only when one or more future events occur or fail to occur, such as where you are liable only as a guarantor, surety, or endorser on a promissory note. If you are a “co-maker” and are jointly liable or jointly and severally liable, then it is not a contingent liability.PART F — INTERESTS IN SPECIFIED BUSINESSES[Required by s. 112.3145(6), F.S.]The types of businesses covered in this disclosure include: state and federally chartered banks; state and federal savings and loan associations; cemetery companies; insurance companies; mortgage companies; credit unions; small loan companies; alcoholic beverage licensees; pari-mutuel wagering companies, utility companies, entities controlled by the Public Service Commission; and entities granted a franchise to operate by either a city or a county government.

You must make this disclosure if you own or owned (either directly or indirectly in the form of an equitable or beneficial interest) at any time during the disclosure period more than 5% of the total assets or capital stock of one of the types of business entities listed above. You also must complete this part of the form for each of these types of businesses for which you are, or were at any time during the disclosure period, an officer, director, partner, proprietor, or agent (other than a resident agent solely for service of process). If you have or held such a position or ownership interest in one of these types of businesses, list the name of the business, its address and principal business activity, and the position held with the business (if any). If you own(ed) more than a 5% interest in the business, indicate that fact and describe the nature of your interest.

The instructions on the following pages specifically describe the different thresholds. Check the box that reflects the choice you have made. You must use the type of threshold you have chosen for each part of the form. In other words, if you choose to report based on absolute dollar value thresholds, you cannot use a percentage threshold on any part of the form.MANNER OF CALCULATING REPORTABLE INTERESTIF YOU HAVE CHOSEN DOLLAR VALUE THRESHOLDSTHE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS APPLYIF YOU HAVE CHOSEN COMPARATIVE (PERCENTAGE) THRESHOLDSTHE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS APPLYCE FORM 1 - Effective: January 1, 2019.

It is not for reporting income from second jobs. That kind of income should be reported in Part A, "Primary Sources of Income," if it meets the reporting threshold. You will not have anything to report unless during the disclosure period:(1) You owned (either directly or indirectly in the form of an equitable or beneficial interest) more than 5% of the total assets or capital stock of a business entity (a corporation, partnership, LLC, limited partnership, proprietorship, joint venture, trust, firm, etc., doing business in Florida); and,(2) You received more than 10% of your gross income from that business entity; and, (3) You received more than $1,500 in gross income from that business entity.If your interests and gross income exceeded these thresholds, then for that business entity you must list every source of income to the business entity which exceeded 10% of the business entity’s gross income (computed on the basis of the business entity’s most recently completed fiscal year), the source’s address, and the source’s principal business activity.Filers have the option of reporting based on either thresholds that are comparative (usually, based on percentage values) or thresholds that are based on absolute dollar values. The instructions on the following pages specifically describe the different thresholds. Check the box that reflects the choice you have made. You must use the type of threshold you have chosen for each part of the form. In other words, if you choose to report based on absolute dollar value thresholds, you cannot use a percentage threshold on any part of the form.MANNER OF CALCULATING REPORTABLE INTERESTIF YOU HAVE CHOSEN DOLLAR VALUE THRESHOLDSTHE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS APPLYIF YOU HAVE CHOSEN COMPARATIVE (PERCENTAGE) THRESHOLDSTHE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS APPLYCE FORM 1 - Effective: January 1, 2019.

Examples:— You are the sole proprietor of a dry cleaning business, from which you received more than 10% of your gross income—an amount that was more than $1,500. If only one customer, a uniform rental company, provided more than 10% of your dry cleaning business, you must list the name of the uniform rental company, its address, and its principal business activity (uniform rentals). — You are a 20% partner in a partnership that owns a shopping mall and your partnership income exceeded the thresholds listed above. You should list each tenant of the mall that provided more than 10% of the partnership’s gross income, and the tenant’s address and principal business activity.PART C — REAL PROPERTY[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(a)3, F.S.]In this part, list the location or description of all real property in Florida in which you owned directly or indirectly at any time during the disclosure period in excess of 5% of the property’s value. You are not required to list your residences. You should list any vacation homes, if you derive income from them.Indirect ownership includes situations where you are a beneficiary of a trust that owns the property, as well as situations where you own more than 5% of a partnership or corporation that owns the property. The value of the property may be determined by the most recently assessed value for tax purposes, in the absence of a more current appraisal.The location or description of the property should be sufficient to enable anyone who looks at the form to identify the property. A street address should be used, if one exists. PART D — INTANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(a)3, F.S.] Describe any intangible personal property that, at any time during the disclosure period, was worth more than 10% of your total assets, and state the business entity to which the property related. Intangible personal property includes things such as cash on hand, stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, vehicle leases, interests in businesses, beneficial interests in trusts, money owed you, Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) accounts, the Florida Prepaid College Plan, and bank accounts. Intangible personal property also includes investment products held in IRAs, brokerage accounts, and the Florida College Investment Plan. Note that the product contained in a brokerage account, IRA, or the Florida College Investment Plan is your asset—not the account or plan itself. Things like automobiles and houses you own, jewelry, and paintings are not intangible property. Intangibles relating to the same business entity may be aggregated; for example, CD’s and savings accounts with the same bank. Calculations: To determine whether the intangible property exceeds 10% of your total assets, total the fair market value of all of your assets (including real property, intangible property, and tangible personal property such as jewelry, furniture, etc.). When making this calculation, do not subtract any liabilities (debts) that may relate to the property. Multiply the total figure by 10% to arrive at the disclosure threshold. List only the intangibles that exceed this threshold amount. The value of a leased vehicle is the vehicle’s present value minus the lease residual (a number which can be found on the lease document). Property that is only jointly owned property should be valued according to the percentage of your joint ownership. Property owned as tenants by the entirety or as joint tenants with right of survivorship should be valued at 100%. None of your calculations or the value of the property have to be disclosed on the form. Example: You own 50% of the stock of a small corporation that is worth $100,000, the estimated fair market value of your home and other property (bank accounts, automobile, furniture, etc.) is $200,000. As your total assets are worth $250,000, you must disclose intangibles worth over $25,000. Since the value of the stock exceeds this threshold, you should list “stock” and the name of the corporation. If your accounts with a particular bank exceed $25,000, you should list “bank accounts” and bank’s name.PART E — LIABILITIES[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)4, F.S.] List the name and address of each creditor to whom you owed any amount that, at any time during the disclosure period, exceeded your net worth. You are not required to list the amount of any debt or your net worth. You do not have to disclose: credit card and retail installment accounts, taxes owed (unless reduced to a judgment), indebtedness on a life insurance policy owed to the company of issuance, or contingent liabilities. A “contingent liability” is one that will become an actual liability only when one or more future events occur or fail to occur, such as where you are liable only as a guarantor, surety, or endorser on a promissory note. If you are a “co-maker” and are jointly liable or jointly and severally liable, it is not a contingent liability. Calculations: To determine whether the debt exceeds your net worth, total all of your liabilities (including promissory notes, mortgages, credit card debts, judgments against you, etc.). The amount of the liability of a vehicle lease is the sum of any past-due payments and all unpaid prospective lease payments. Subtract the sum total of your liabilities from the value of all your assets as calculated above for Part D. This is your “net worth.” List each creditor to whom your debt exceeded this amount unless it is one of the types of indebtedness listed in the paragraph above (credit card and retail installment accounts, etc.). Joint liabilities with others for which you are “jointly and severally liable,” meaning that you may be liable for either your part or the whole of the obligation, should be included in your calculations at 100% of the amount owed.Example: You owe $15,000 to a bank for student loans, $5,000 for credit card debts, and $60,000 (with spouse) to a savings and loan for a home mortgage. Your home (owned by you and your spouse) is worth $80,000 and your other property is worth $20,000. Since your net worth is $20,000 ($100,000 minus $80,000), you must report only the name and address of the savings and loan.PART F — INTERESTS IN SPECIFIED BUSINESSES[Required by s. 112.3145, F.S.]The types of businesses covered in this disclosure include: state and federally chartered banks; state and federal savings and loan associations; cemetery companies; insurance companies; mortgage companies; credit unions; small loan companies; alcoholic beverage licensees; pari-mutuel wagering companies, utility companies, entities controlled by the Public Service Commission; and entities granted a franchise to operate by either a city or a county government.Disclose in this part the fact that you owned during the disclosure period an interest in, or held any of certain positions with, the types of businesses listed above. You are required to make this disclosure if you own or owned (either directly or indirectly in the form of an equitable or beneficial interest) at any time during the disclosure period more than 5% of the total assets or capital stock of one of the types of business entities listed above. You also must complete this part of the form for each of these types of businesses for which you are, or were at any time during the disclosure period, an officer, director, partner, proprietor, or agent (other than a resident agent solely for service of process).If you have or held such a position or ownership interest in one of these types of businesses, list the name of the business, its address and principal business activity, and the position held with the business (if any). If you own(ed) more than a 5% interest in the business, indicate that fact and describe the nature of your interest.PART G — TRAINING CERTIFICATION[Required by s. 112.3142, F.S.] If you are a Constitutional or elected municipal officer whose service began before March 31 of the year for which you are filing, you are required to complete four hours of ethics training which addresses Article II, Section 8 of the Florida Constitution, the Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees, and the public records and open meetings laws of the state. You are required to certify on this form that you have taken such training. (End of Percentage Thresholds Instructions.)NOTICE Annual Statements of Financial Interests are due July 1. If the annual form is not filed or postmarked by September 1, an automatic fine of $25 for each day late will be imposed, up to a maximum penalty of $1,500. Failure to file also can result in removal from public office or employment.

PART A — PRIMARY SOURCES OF INCOME
[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)1, F.S.]
Part A is intended to require the disclosure of your principal sources
of income during the disclosure period. You do not have to disclose the
amount of income received, and you need not list your public salary from
serving in the position(s) which requires you to file this form. The income
of your spouse need not be disclosed; however, if there is joint income to
you and your spouse from property you own jointly (such as interest or
dividends from a bank account or stocks), you should disclose the source
of that income if it exceeded the threshold.
Please list in this part of the form the name, address, and principal
business activity of each source of your income which exceeded $2,500 of
gross income received by you in your own name or by any other person
for your use or benefit.
“Gross income” means the same as it does for income tax purposes,
even if the income is not actually taxable, such as interest on tax-free bonds.
Examples include: compensation for services, income from business,
gains from property dealings, interest, rents, dividends, pensions, IRA
distributions, social security, distributive share of partnership gross income,
and alimony, but not child support.
Examples:
— If you were employed by a company that manufactures computers
and received more than $2,500, list the name of the company, its
address, and its principal business activity (computer manufacturing).
— If you were a partner in a law firm and your distributive share of
partnership gross income exceeded $2,500, list the name of the firm,
its address, and its principal business activity (practice of law).
— If you were the sole proprietor of a retail gift business and your
gross income from the business exceeded $2,500, list the name of
the business, its address, and its principal business activity (retail gift
sales).
— If you received income from investments in stocks and bonds, list
each individual company from which you derived more than $2,500.
Do not aggregate all of your investment income.
— If more than $2,500 of your gross income was gain from the sale
of property (not just the selling price), list as a source of income the
purchaser’s name, address, and principal business activity. If the
purchaser’s identity is unknown, such as where securities listed on
an exchange are sold through a brokerage firm, the source of income
should be listed as “sale of (name of company) stock,” for example.
— If more than $2,500 of your gross income was in the form of
interest from one particular financial institution (aggregating interest
from all CD’s, accounts, etc., at that institution), list the name of the
institution, its address, and its principal business activity.
PART B — SECONDARY SOURCES OF INCOME
[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)2, F.S.]
This part is intended to require the disclosure of major customers,
clients, and other sources of income to businesses in which you own an
interest. It is not for reporting income from second jobs. That kind of income
should be reported in Part A “Primary Sources of Income,” if it meets the
reporting threshold. You will not have anything to report unless, during the
disclosure period:
(1) You owned (either directly or indirectly in the form of an equitable
or beneficial interest) during the disclosure period more than 5% of
the total assets or capital stock of a business entity (a corporation,
partnership, LLC, limited partnership, proprietorship, joint venture,
trust, firm, etc., doing business in Florida); and,
(2) You received more than $5,000 of your gross income during the
disclosure period from that business entity.
If your interests and gross income exceeded these thresholds, then for that
business entity you must list every source of income to the business entity
which exceeded 10% of the business entity’s gross income (computed on
the basis of the business entity’s most recently completed fiscal year), the
source’s address, and the source’s principal business activity.
Examples:
— You are the sole proprietor of a dry cleaning business, from which
you received more than $5,000. If only one customer, a uniform rental
company, provided more than 10% of your dry cleaning business, you
must list the name of the uniform rental company, its address, and its
principal business activity (uniform rentals).
— You are a 20% partner in a partnership that owns a shopping
mall and your partnership income exceeded the above thresholds.
List each tenant of the mall that provided more than 10% of the
partnership’s gross income and the tenant’s address and principal
business activity.
PART C — REAL PROPERTY
[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)3, F.S.]
In this part, list the location or description of all real property in Florida
in which you owned directly or indirectly at any time during the disclosure
period in excess of 5% of the property’s value. You are not required to list
your residences. You should list any vacation homes if you derive income
from them.
Indirect ownership includes situations where you are a beneficiary of
a trust that owns the property, as well as situations where you own more
than 5% of a partnership or corporation that owns the property. The value
of the property may be determined by the most recently assessed value for
tax purposes, in the absence of a more current appraisal.
The location or description of the property should be sufficient to
enable anyone who looks at the form to identify the property. A street
address should be used, if one exists.
PART D — INTANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY
[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)3, F.S.]
Describe any intangible personal property that, at any time during the
disclosure period, was worth more than $10,000 and state the business
entity to which the property related. Intangible personal property includes
things such as cash on hand, stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, vehicle
leases, interests in businesses, beneficial interests in trusts, money owed
you, Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) accounts, the Florida
Prepaid College Plan, and bank accounts. Intangible personal property
also includes investment products held in IRAs, brokerage accounts, and
the Florida College Investment Plan. Note that the product contained in
a brokerage account, IRA, or the Florida College Investment Plan is your
asset—not the account or plan itself. Things like automobiles and houses
you own, jewelry, and paintings are not intangible property. Intangibles
relating to the same business entity may be aggregated; for example, CDs
and savings accounts with the same bank. Property owned as tenants by
the entirety or as joint tenants with right of survivorship should be valued at
100%. The value of a leased vehicle is the vehicle’s present value minus
the lease residual (a number found on the lease document).
As noted on the form, filers have the option of reporting based on either thresholds that are comparative (usually, based on percentage
values) or thresholds that are based on absolute dollar values. The instructions on the following pages specifically describe the different
thresholds. Check the box that reflects the choice you have made. You must use the type of threshold you have chosen for each part
of the form. In other words, if you choose to report based on absolute dollar value thresholds, you cannot use a percentage threshold
on any part of the form.

PART E — LIABILITIES
[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)4, F.S.]
List the name and address of each creditor to whom you owed
more than $10,000 at any time during the disclosure period. The
amount of the liability of a vehicle lease is the sum of any past-due
payments and all unpaid prospective lease payments. You are not
required to list the amount of any debt. You do not have to disclose
credit card and retail installment accounts, taxes owed (unless reduced
to a judgment), indebtedness on a life insurance policy owed to the
company of issuance, or contingent liabilities. A “contingent liability” is
one that will become an actual liability only when one or more future
events occur or fail to occur, such as where you are liable only as
a guarantor, surety, or endorser on a promissory note. If you are a
“co-maker” and are jointly liable or jointly and severally liable, then it is
not a contingent liability.
PART F — INTERESTS IN SPECIFIED BUSINESSES
[Required by s. 112.3145(6), F.S.]
The types of businesses covered in this disclosure include: state
and federally chartered banks; state and federal savings and loan
associations; cemetery companies; insurance companies; mortgage
companies; credit unions; small loan companies; alcoholic beverage
licensees; pari-mutuel wagering companies, utility companies, entities
controlled by the Public Service Commission; and entities granted a
franchise to operate by either a city or a county government.
Disclose in this part of the form the fact that you owned during the
disclosure period an interest in, or held any of certain positions with, the
types of businesses listed above. You must to make this disclosure if
you own or owned (either directly or indirectly in the form of an equitable
or beneficial interest) at any time during the disclosure period more than
5% of the total assets or capital stock of one of the types of business
entities listed above. You also must complete this part of the form for
each of these types of businesses for which you are, or were at any
time during the disclosure period, an officer, director, partner, proprietor,
or agent (other than a resident agent solely for service of process).
If you have or held such a position or ownership interest in one of
these types of businesses, list the name of the business, its address
and principal business activity, and the position held with the business
(if any). If you own(ed) more than a 5% interest in the business, indicate
that fact and describe the nature of your interest.
(End of Dollar Value Thresholds Instructions.)
PART A — PRIMARY SOURCES OF INCOME
[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(a)1, F.S.]
Part A is intended to require the disclosure of your principal sources
of income during the disclosure period. You do not have to disclose the
amount of income received, and you need not list your public salary
received from serving in the position(s) which requires you to file this
form, but this amount should be included when calculating your gross
income for the disclosure period. The income of your spouse need not
be disclosed; however, if there is joint income to you and your spouse
from property you own jointly (such as interest or dividends from a bank
account or stocks), you should include all of that income when calculating
your gross income and disclose the source of that income if it exceeded
the threshold.
Please list in this part of the form the name, address, and principal
business activity of each source of your income which exceeded 5% of
the gross income received by you in your own name or by any other
person for your benefit or use during the disclosure period.
“Gross income” means the same as it does for income tax
purposes, even if the income is not actually taxable, such as interest
on tax-free bonds. Examples include: compensation for services,
income from business, gains from property dealings, interest, rents,
dividends, pensions, IRA distributions, social security, distributive share
of partnership gross income, and alimony, but not child support.
Examples:
— If you were employed by a company that manufactures computers
and received more than 5% of your gross income from the company,
list the name of the company, its address, and its principal business
activity (computer manufacturing).
— If you were a partner in a law firm and your distributive share of
partnership gross income exceeded 5% of your gross income, list
the name of the firm, its address, and its principal business activity
(practice of law).
— If you were the sole proprietor of a retail gift business and your
gross income from the business exceeded 5% of your total gross
income, list the name of the business, its address, and its principal
business activity (retail gift sales).
— If you received income from investments in stocks and bonds,
you list each individual company from which you derived more than
5% of your gross income. Do not aggregate all of your investment
income.
— If more than 5% of your gross income was gain from the sale
of property (not just the selling price), list as a source of income
the purchaser’s name, address, and principal business activity. If
the purchaser’s identity is unknown, such as where securities listed
on an exchange are sold through a brokerage firm, the source of
income should be listed as “sale of (name of company) stock,” for
example.
— If more than 5% of your gross income was in the form of interest
from one particular financial institution (aggregating interest from
all CD’s, accounts, etc., at that institution), list the name of the
institution, its address, and its principal business activity.
PART B — SECONDARY SOURCES OF INCOME
[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(a)2, F.S.]
This part is intended to require the disclosure of major customers,
clients, and other sources of income to businesses in which you own
an interest. It is not for reporting income from second jobs. That kind of
income should be reported in Part A, “Primary Sources of Income,” if it
meets the reporting threshold. You will not have anything to report unless
during the disclosure period:
(1) You owned (either directly or indirectly in the form of an equitable
or beneficial interest) more than 5% of the total assets or capital
stock of a business entity (a corporation, partnership, LLC, limited
partnership, proprietorship, joint venture, trust, firm, etc., doing
business in Florida); and,
(2) You received more than 10% of your gross income from that
business entity; and,
(3) You received more than $1,500 in gross income from that
business entity.
If your interests and gross income exceeded these thresholds, then for
that business entity you must list every source of income to the business
entity which exceeded 10% of the business entity’s gross income
(computed on the basis of the business entity’s most recently completed
fiscal year), the source’s address, and the source’s principal business
activity.
IF YOU HAVE CHOSEN COMPARATIVE (PERCENTAGE) THRESHOLDS

Incorporated by reference in Rule 34-8.208(2), F.A.C.

Page 49 of 78
Examples:
— You are the sole proprietor of a dry cleaning business, from
which you received more than 10% of your gross income—an
amount that was more than $1,500. If only one customer, a
uniform rental company, provided more than 10% of your dry
cleaning business, you must list the name of the uniform rental
company, its address, and its principal business activity (uniform
rentals).
— You are a 20% partner in a partnership that owns a shopping
mall and your partnership income exceeded the thresholds listed
above. You should list each tenant of the mall that provided more
than 10% of the partnership’s gross income, and the tenant’s
address and principal business activity.
PART C — REAL PROPERTY
[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(a)3, F.S.]
In this part, list the location or description of all real property in
Florida in which you owned directly or indirectly at any time during
the disclosure period in excess of 5% of the property’s value. You
are not required to list your residences. You should list any vacation
homes, if you derive income from them.
Indirect ownership includes situations where you are a
beneficiary of a trust that owns the property, as well as situations
where you own more than 5% of a partnership or corporation that
owns the property. The value of the property may be determined by
the most recently assessed value for tax purposes, in the absence
of a more current appraisal.
The location or description of the property should be sufficient
to enable anyone who looks at the form to identify the property. A
street address should be used, if one exists.
PART D — INTANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY
[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(a)3, F.S.]
Describe any intangible personal property that, at any time
during the disclosure period, was worth more than 10% of your total
assets, and state the business entity to which the property related.
Intangible personal property includes things such as cash on hand,
stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, vehicle leases, interests in
businesses, beneficial interests in trusts, money owed you, Deferred
Retirement Option Program (DROP) accounts, the Florida Prepaid
College Plan, and bank accounts. Intangible personal property also
includes investment products held in IRAs, brokerage accounts, and
the Florida College Investment Plan. Note that the product contained
in a brokerage account, IRA, or the Florida College Investment Plan
is your asset—not the account or plan itself. Things like automobiles
and houses you own, jewelry, and paintings are not intangible
property. Intangibles relating to the same business entity may be
aggregated; for example, CD’s and savings accounts with the same
bank.
Calculations: To determine whether the intangible property
exceeds 10% of your total assets, total the fair market value of all of
your assets (including real property, intangible property, and tangible
personal property such as jewelry, furniture, etc.). When making this
calculation, do not subtract any liabilities (debts) that may relate to the
property. Multiply the total figure by 10% to arrive at the disclosure
threshold. List only the intangibles that exceed this threshold amount.
The value of a leased vehicle is the vehicle’s present value minus the
lease residual (a number which can be found on the lease document).
Property that is only jointly owned property should be valued
according to the percentage of your joint ownership. Property owned
as tenants by the entirety or as joint tenants with right of survivorship
should be valued at 100%. None of your calculations or the value of
the property have to be disclosed on the form.
Example: You own 50% of the stock of a small corporation that
is worth $100,000, the estimated fair market value of your home
and other property (bank accounts, automobile, furniture, etc.)
is $200,000. As your total assets are worth $250,000, you must
disclose intangibles worth over $25,000. Since the value of the
stock exceeds this threshold, you should list “stock” and the
name of the corporation. If your accounts with a particular bank
exceed $25,000, you should list “bank accounts” and bank’s
name.
PART E — LIABILITIES
[Required by s. 112.3145(3)(b)4, F.S.]
List the name and address of each creditor to whom you owed
any amount that, at any time during the disclosure period, exceeded
your net worth. You are not required to list the amount of any debt
or your net worth. You do not have to disclose: credit card and retail
installment accounts, taxes owed (unless reduced to a judgment),
indebtedness on a life insurance policy owed to the company of
issuance, or contingent liabilities. A “contingent liability” is one
that will become an actual liability only when one or more future
events occur or fail to occur, such as where you are liable only as
a guarantor, surety, or endorser on a promissory note. If you are a
“co-maker” and are jointly liable or jointly and severally liable, it is not
a contingent liability.
Calculations: To determine whether the debt exceeds your
net worth, total all of your liabilities (including promissory notes,
mortgages, credit card debts, judgments against you, etc.). The
amount of the liability of a vehicle lease is the sum of any past-due
payments and all unpaid prospective lease payments. Subtract
the sum total of your liabilities from the value of all your assets
as calculated above for Part D. This is your “net worth.” List each
creditor to whom your debt exceeded this amount unless it is one of
the types of indebtedness listed in the paragraph above (credit card
and retail installment accounts, etc.). Joint liabilities with others for
which you are “jointly and severally liable,” meaning that you may
be liable for either your part or the whole of the obligation, should be
included in your calculations at 100% of the amount owed.
Example: You owe $15,000 to a bank for student loans, $5,000
for credit card debts, and $60,000 (with spouse) to a savings
and loan for a home mortgage. Your home (owned by you and
your spouse) is worth $80,000 and your other property is worth
$20,000. Since your net worth is $20,000 ($100,000 minus
$80,000), you must report only the name and address of the
savings and loan.
PART F — INTERESTS IN SPECIFIED BUSINESSES
[Required by s. 112.3145, F.S.]
The types of businesses covered in this disclosure include: state
and federally chartered banks; state and federal savings and loan
associations; cemetery companies; insurance companies; mortgage
companies; credit unions; small loan companies; alcoholic beverage
licensees; pari-mutuel wagering companies, utility companies, entities
controlled by the Public Service Commission; and entities granted a
franchise to operate by either a city or a county government.
Disclose in this part the fact that you owned during the
disclosure period an interest in, or held any of certain positions with,
the types of businesses listed above. You must make this disclosure
if you own or owned (either directly or indirectly in the form of an
equitable or beneficial interest) at any time during the disclosure
period more than 5% of the total assets or capital stock of one of
the types of business entities listed above. You also must complete
this part of the form for each of these types of businesses for which
you are, or were at any time during the disclosure period, an officer,
director, partner, proprietor, or agent (other than a resident agent
solely for service of process).
If you have or held such a position or ownership interest in
one of these types of businesses, list the name of the business, its
address and principal business activity, and the position held with
the business (if any). If you own(ed) more than a 5% interest in the
business, indicate that fact and describe the nature of your interest.

flowers, or floral arrangements; services provided by persons pursuant
to a professional license or certificate; other personal services for
which a fee is normally charged by the person providing the services;
and any other similar service or thing having an attributable value and
not already described.
• The following are NOT reportable as gifts on this form: salary, benefits,
services, fees, commissions, gifts, or expenses associated primarily
with your employment, business, or service as an officer or director of
a corporation or organization; contributions or expenditures reported
pursuant to the election laws, campaign-related personal services
provided without compensation by individuals volunteering their time, or
any other contribution or expenditure by a political party; an honorarium
or an expense related to an honorarium event paid to you or your
spouse; an award, plaque, certificate, or similar personalized item given
in recognition of your public, civic, charitable, or professional service; an
honorary membership in a service or fraternal organization presented
merely as a courtesy by such organization; the use of a governmental
agency’s public facility or public property for a public purpose. Also
exempted are some gifts from state, regional, and national organizations
that promote the exchange of ideas between, or the professional
development of, governmental officials or employees.
HOW DO I DETERMINE THE VALUE OF A
GIFT?
• The value of a gift provided to you is determined using the actual cost to
the donor, and, with respect to personal services provided by the donor,
the reasonable and customary charge regularly charged for such service
in the community in which the service is provided. Taxes and gratuities
are not included in valuing a gift. If additional expenses are required as
a condition precedent to the donor’s eligibility to purchase or provide a
gift and the expenses are primarily for the benefit of the donor or are of a
charitable nature, the expenses are not included in determining the value
of the gift.
• Compensation provided by you to the donor within 90 days of receiving
the gift shall be deducted from the value of the gift in determining the
value of the gift.
• If the actual gift value attributable to individual participants at an event
cannot be determined, the total costs should be prorated among all
invited persons. A gift given to several persons may be attributed among
all of them on a pro rata basis. Food, beverages, entertainment, etc.,
provided at a function for more than ten people should be valued by
dividing the total costs by the number of persons invited, unless the items
are purchased on a per-person basis, in which case the per-person cost

period are considered a single gift.
• Entrance fees, admission fees, or tickets are valued on the face value of

occurrence basis.
