During the January Council meeting Councilmember Dieguez motioned for a census committee. After further review, I believe that it is critically important that we support the census count.

We also need to work with our neighboring cities as well as the unincorporated area. As you know, federal funding is usually based on the census count. Supporting a proper census count will allow for Miami Lakes and the surrounding cities to receive the proper federal dollars needed for education and services locally.

Fiscal Impact: TBD
