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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: 4.

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!
