RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to execute documents necessary to register the County for the 2020 Census Local Update for Census Addresses Operation (LUCA), and DESIGNATE the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) staff as the LUCA liaison.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The State of California has budgeted funds to help local government agencies offset the cost of participating in LUCA. Grants are anticipated to range between $7,500 - $125,000. While the specifics of the grant funding have not been released, it is anticipated the amount of funding available will be based on the housing activity since 2010. Staff costs of approximately $10,000 will be covered from the existing DCD budget.
BACKGROUND:
The Local Update of Census Addresses Operations (LUCA) is a voluntary decennial census operation. LUCA is the only opportunity prior to the 2020 Census for local governments to review and update the U.S. Census Bureau's residential address list for their jurisdictions. The Census Bureau relies on a complete and accurate address list to reach every living quarters and associated population for inclusion in the census.
