Make Coral Gables Count
Every ten years the U.S. Census Bureau conducts a nationwide population count. Consider the growth of
Coral Gables in the last ten years and where we will be ten years from now. Our growing City deserves
proper representation and its share of federal funds.

Make Coral Gables Count- Census 101

   ·    Everyone Counts- To make Coral Gables Count, everyone in the household should be counted,
        regardless of relationship. This includes live-in staff of any kind.
   ·    Your Information is Private- The Census Bureau is bound by law to protect identifiable information
        about you, your home, and your business, even to law enforcement.
   ·    It’s about representation and funding- The US Census helps determine congressional representation
        and how hundreds of billions of federal funds are distributed. Your response will help your federal
        tax dollars stay in our community and ensure our local interests are properly represented.
   ·    Your Response is Required- The census is required by the US Constitution. If you do not respond, the
        US Census Bureau will follow up in person to collect your response. Participate in our democracy
        and Make Coral Gables Count!

Look for more information by mail coming March 2020.

City News
Coral Gables is a Smart 50 Award Recipient
The City of Coral Gables has been selected as a 2020 Smart 50 Award recipient by Smart Cities Connect, US
Ignite, and the Smart Cities Connect Foundation. Coral Gables is among a selected list of global cities with
municipal-scale Smart City projects that
“exemplify innovation and concrete influence” in our community.

Coral Gables Fire to Offer Telemedicine for Emergency Care
This January, the Coral Gables Fire Department became the first fire rescue agency in Miami-Dade County
to launch telemedicine capability in their rescue units. Developed by the Gordon Center for Simulation and
Innovation in Medical Education at the University of Miami, this innovative program allows paramedics to
consult directly to neurologists, or trauma surgeon when patients are experiencing life threatening
emergencies via a secured video system.

This technology enables emergency physicians, and interventionists from area hospitals like Baptist and the
University of Miami, the ability to speak with and evaluate patients prior to arriving in the emergency room.

This capability is expected to provide critically ill patients with fast access to the appropriate intervention
and reduce time to care.

Lobbyist Online Portal Now Available
The City Clerk’s Office has launched a new online portal for Lobbyist Registration. The demands for lobbyist
registration in our fast-growing City has increased expeditiously over the years. This new online portal
allows registration, payment, tracking, withdrawal and submittal capabilities for all individuals who conduct
lobbying activities with the City. All information is available online in order to enhance an accessible
government that is also open and accountable to our citizens.

purchase up to two “Children At Play” signs by visiting the Coral Gables War Memorial Youth Center registration office at 405

for verification purposes.

Refund requests must be made, in writing, 7 days prior to the start of the registered program/activity date. There will be no refunds
issued when a request is submitted with less than a 7 day notice. Requests for emergency medical reasons will only be accepted
