[26 ] CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: November 26, 1974 ITEM TITLE: Report on Mid-Decade Census INITIATED BY: City Manager BACKGROUND On October 29, 1974, Council approved Resolution No. 7498, involving an agreement with the State Department of Finance for execution of the 1975 Mid-Decade Census. The above resolution also appropriated the sum of $30,000 for that purpose. At the November 1, 1974 meeting of the City-County Manager's Association, Mr. Frank Aleshire (County Chief Administrative Officer) proposed that this region's cities contract with the County for the special enumeration. Such an action was seen to be of mutual benefit pending resolution of administrative and financial details. As Mr. Aleshire's proposal had merit, I requested that the City Clerk delay forwarding of our agreement to the State until the census issue could be investigated further. Susbequent correspondence and conferences with County staff have proven fruitful. It has been shown that coordination and data validity would be improved, and expenses reduced, if the County administered the census. As it now stands, the County would conclude a contract with each city for the enumeration and receive that jurisdiction's appropriation. As a result, this City's signed, but unexecuted, agreement with the State should be withdrawn.
