WHEREAS, the U.S. Census Bureau is required by Article 1, Section 2 of the
U.S. Constitution to conduct an accurate count of the population every ten years; and
WHEREAS, census data is used to determine federal funding levels, which are
crucial to state and local governments; and
WHEREAS, the City of National City received $14,079,000 in federal funding in
2017 and part of the basis for receiving these federal funds relies, in part, on census data; and
WHEREAS, census data also helps determine how many seats each state will
have in the U.S. House of Representatives and is used in the redistricting of state legislatures,
county boards of supervisors, and city councils; and
WHEREAS, the decennial census is a huge undertaking that requires cross -
sector collaboration and partnership in order to achieve a complete and accurate count; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Census Bureau is facing several challenges with the 2020
Census, which include declining response rates, technological change, and fiscal constraints,
thus support from local government is critical; and
WHEREAS, the City of National City, in partnership with other local governments,
the State, businesses, and community organizations, is committed to ensuring every resident is
counted.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of National City recognizes the
importance of the 2020 Census and supports participation in helping to ensure a complete, fair,
and accurate count.
