Mr. Maley said the Bal Harbour Shops were going to remove the bus bay,
taxi stand and pedestrian entrance on Collins Avenue. He is having our
engineers study a new location for the bus stop. Also, the existing ped-
estrian crossing should be coordinated with Bal Harbour Shops plans and the
Department of Transportation. Mr. Stanley Whitman said he regretted that
the need for parking necessitates the moving of these facilities on to
public property. It was suggested that Mr. Maley work with the Shops'
engineers and our engineers on the problem.
Mr. Whitman asked if he could speak on another matter as he was going
out of town. He said that he does not believe the additional one-half cent
sales tax being returned to the cities is being done on an equitable basis.
He said that Bal Harbour Shops will generate over one million dollars in
additional sales tax and thinks more of the tax should be returned to the
point of origin. Mr. Maley explained that there are about ninty coastal re-
sort cities that are trying to have the Law changed to use other factors than
population for the distribution of the money. Mr. Gold suggested that Mr.
Maley contact the Mayors of the other cities and see if anyone has hired a
lobbyist.
The Council considered the renewal of contracts for the Department of
Tourism. Mr. Gerry Gutenstein of the Resort Tax Advisory Committee said
they were satisfied with the work of the Sam McColloch Advertising Agency
and Bill Kofoed, Public Relations. It was moved by Mr. Taplin, seconded
by Miss Gray and voted to renew the contract of Sam McColloch and Associates,
Inc. It was moved by Miss Gray, seconded by Mr. Taplin and voted to renew
the contract of Bill Kofoed, Inc. Mr. Maley said the Tourism Department
had negotiated with Bert Parks for the use of his name and picture in printed
media for a period of six months (November 1982 to May 1983) for a fee of
$10,000. It was moved by Mr. Taplin, seconded by Miss Gray and voted to
approve the contract with Bert Parks.
Mr. Spencer Troy of the Equitable Life Assurance Society explained
with Mr. Maley a Deferred Compensation Plan for municipal employees. Mr.
Maley said several employees had requested this. This plan and the plan
of International City Management Association had been considered. After
discussion the council instructed Mr. Gold to prepare an ordinance a-
dopting a voultary Deferred Compensation Plan for village employees effective
October 1, 1982.
The Village Clerk said that according to the Village Charter the Council
may transfer funds between departments to balance the departmental budgets.
She said she had reviewed the balances in the various departments and would
like the council to transfer $60,000 from Public Works (519.620) and $40,000
from Law Enforcement (521.120). The monies to be allocated, $17,000 to
Legislative (511.312); $5,000 to Executive (512.110); $5,000 to Finance and

and 541.630). On motion of Mr. Taplin, seconded by Miss Gray and voted the
funds were ordered transferred.
Mr. Maley explained that our auditors did not allow funds allocated
for the street light project and the delayed matching funds payment to
the Sheraton Hotel listed in last year's budgettobe carried over to this
budget. Therefore, it will be necessary to transfer from "Fund Balance"
in both the General and Tourism, the money for these items and other projects
authorized by the council during the fiscal year that were not re -budgeted
this year.
