The provisions of section 2-11.1(s) "Lobbying" of the Miami-Dade County Code (the "County Lobbying Ordinance") as it currently exists, as set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein, are hereby adopted and shall apply within Bal Harbour Village, except that in lieu of the fee for annual lobbyist registration which is specified by section 2-11.1(s)(2)(b) of the County Lobbying Ordinance, the fee payable to the Village for registration of each lobbyist for the representation of each principal of the lobbyist shall be $100.00 (per principal represented), and the fee payable to Village for annual lobbyist registration for each lobbyist shall be $200.00. In addition, a lobbyist shall not be required to submit a statement of lobbying expenditures, as specified in section 2-11.1(s)(6)(a) of the County Lobbying Ordinance, for any reporting period during which the lobbyist made no lobbying expenditures. References in the County Lobbying Ordinance to County personnel shall be deemed to be references to Village personnel who serve in comparable capacities to the County personnel referred to.

Nothing in this section shall be construed to require an individual resident of the Village who is simply acting on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any group of such residents (without any compensation) to register as a lobbyist.
