DESCRIPTION: The City has received a memo from Supervisor Charles Santana
regarding the 1990 Census Complete County Committee. Alameda County formed
its Complete Count Committee in order to maximize 1990 Census participation
and to ensure that residents of Alameda County are counted.
To date, the Alameda County Committee has coordinated a number of outreach and
publicity activities to compliment the national promotion efforts. During the
next two months, the Committee will sponsor two final promotional Census
campaigns: "There's Still Time" and "Were You Counted."
To assist in these efforts, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors will hire
part-time Census Coordinators to work with community organizations throughout
the County. City staff has provided the County with a list of local resources
to assist with these promotional activities.
In addition, the Committee has asked that each City make an announcement
regarding the importance of a complete census count at every Council meeting
through June, 1990. Staff recommends that the City Council make such
announcement during the Oral Communication portion of each subsequent Council
meeting through June 1990.

ir , Census Complete Count Committee
DATE : April 18 , 1990
SUBJECT: Census Complete Count Laison
The Alameda County Census Complete Count Committee has
had a number of meetings in the past few weeks . We have
been concentrating on specific populations in the county
which are typically undercounted in the census . Every
person who is not counted will mean a loss of several
hundred dollars of state and federal funding for each of the
next ten years . Confidentiality will be emphasized .
To assist in this effort, it is proposed that the Board
of Supervisors hire part-time coordinators to work with
community organizations throughout the county. The
coordinators would act as a laison between the county,
cities and organizations . The leaders of each organization
would coordinate their activities and discuss their needs
with city representatives and the county coordinators . The
coordinators would provide information and assistance.
I have previously contacted your Mayors regarding the
efforts of the Census Count Committee . To further assist in
this effort, we would appreciate receiving the name of
community organizations that could be contacted to receive
information on the census . If your city has already
completed this process , please advise us .
We would also like to suggest that you provide complete
count information to your radio and TV stations if you have
not already done so . In addition, it would be very helpful
if each city would make an announcement about the importance
of a complete census count at every council meeting through
June, 1990 .
I have attached a list of Alameda County ' s Complete
Count Committee members . Some of them may be contacting you
for more information. If you have any questions of need any
additional information, please feel free to call my
assistant, Lee Perez .
Thank you for all of your assistance .

1990 CENSUS COMPLETE COUNT STATEMENT
The 1990 Census marks 200 years of census taking in the United States. On
March 23, 1990, the U.S. Postal Service delivered census questionnaires to
over 88 million households nationwide. Residents were asked to complete and
return the questionnaires by April 1.
Census data is used to apportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives
and to determine state and local legislative boundaries. In addition, census
data is used in allocating billions of state and federal dollars to local
government to address community needs.
From Census Day, April 1, 1990, until June of 1990, census workers will be
contacting the households that did not return the census questionnaires.
Census staff will contact residents by telephone and in person to provide
assistance. As of May 1, 1990, only 69% of the households in our District
(Tri-Valley Area and San Leandro to Fremont) have returned their completed
census questionnaires. Dublin's response rate was slightly above the
District's average (71.6%) .
To further increase the response rate, the Alameda County Complete Count
Committee is working with local schools, corporations, community groups and
cities to strengthen public awareness.
On behalf of the Dublin City Council, we urge the residents of the City of
Dublin to STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. If you have not yet completed your 1990
census questionnaire, please take a few minutes to do so. Thank you for your
cooperation!
