(a) Public matching funds may be expended only for the receiving candidate's direct campaign purposes such as, but not limited to, purchasing campaign literature or media space or time, mailings, renting campaign headquarters, or paying for campaign headquarter telephones. A candidate who signs a campaign contract may use neither contributions nor public matching funds for indirect campaign purposes such as, but not limited to, providing a candidate's personal support, or for donation to another's campaign. Permissibility of an expenditure of public matching funds shall be determined by the campaign finance administrator.
(b) Goods with a value in excess of two hundred dollars ($200.00) any part of which have been purchased with public matching funds and having a useful life extending beyond the end of the campaign period shall revert to the city.
