Peter Iglesias, the City Manager of Coral Gables, Florida, has announced his resignation, effective October 2. In a letter addressed to Mayor Vince Lago and city commissioners, Iglesias stated that his role was intended to be transitional, aimed at providing steady leadership and facilitating an orderly transition for his successor. He emphasized the importance of allowing the City Commission ample time to identify a new city manager, coinciding his departure with the approval of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget. Iglesias, who has been a resident of Coral Gables for over 45 years, highlighted his commitment to advancing significant projects during his tenure, including the restoration of the historic Venetian Pool and the ongoing restoration of City Hall. He also mentioned plans for the Granada Golf Course and a facility to convert vegetative waste into biochar. Iglesias initially joined the city as the assistant city manager in 2016 and became city manager in 2018, facing a tumultuous period including a dismissal in 2024 over insubordination allegations. He was reappointed in May 2025, reflecting the city's confidence in his leadership.
