RECEIVE federal, state, regional, and local updates on preparation for the Census.
|
| |
Matt Lardner, Census Outreach Coordinator, provided updates. The Census Count ended October 15, 2020. At the time of the meeting, the curtailment of the count was being appealed at a lower court level.
Matt celebrated and provided updates about communities that were exceeded 2010 performance while noting there will be a full update at the November meeting. The communities that didn’t meet their 2010 self-response rates were, for the most part, just 1% below. David Tucker shared that the State was catching its breath while tracking the legal perspective and looking at the challenges that will be faced, while still in celebratory mode. He is looking forward to the final report.
Stephanie Kim, UWBA shared relief and celebrated the Bay Area performance of 75.7% SRR. Of the Top 10 counties in the state, 6 are Bay Area counties. She shared what is next, noting that there is a very small chance that lower courts will re-open the count. Advocacy now needs to focus on the apportionment deadline. Legislation to push the apportionment deadline has been in the legislature since May. She is holding on to the hope that it will be extended. October 15 was the last day to mail back paper forms, which must be received by October 22nd. There may be an update at that time; if not, the next update will be in January. |

RECEIVE recommendations for the Census 2030 Recap, Resources, and Recommendations Report and DISCUSS alternate recommendations for inclusion in the report.
|
| |
Matt Lardner, Census Outreach Coordinator, provided a high-level overview and solicited input on the Census 2030 Recap, Resources and Recommendation Report. Steering committee members provided input about format of the steering committee relative to staff function; the impact of funding on building community support; the importance of a timeline including a focus on the early work; how the selection process was effective in achieving a large and diverse group with appointees who remained engaged and supported decision-making; the importance of the language maps as an asset to the Census and also to future county efforts; the gradual improvement in the Census website as the project progressed; and a grant process that was flexible and smooth.
He recommended a grantee survey; inclusion of the work of the census coalition; begin the work to onboard cities earlier; noted the need to push the Census Bureau and State to get the information and plan down to the local level earlier so that we can prepare; provide emphasis on hard-to-count outreach and continuing to work on those relationships now so they are strong well before 2030; and the importance of layering Census messaging on other messaging such as COVID, public charge rules and elections.
