  Lia Bolden, Northern California Partnership Coordinator, U.S. Census Bureau presented a good overview of the importance of the census, why the census is done, how the census data can make a difference in how funding is distributed for the next 10 years, and how the final data can make a difference with congressional seats as well as redistricting.  She also expressed that one of the primary concerns of the U.S. Census Bureau is to maintain secure data and hiring community members to fill jobs in the local area. This is the first census where an individual can go on-line or use a phone to complete the census.  The phone and on-line capabilities will have 12 other languages available to assist with filling out the census.  The census will be printed in English and Spanish, and individuals can request a paper copy.

Supervisor Burgis requested that Ms. Bolden return to the Steering Committee to provide a presentation on language access.
