AGENDA ITEM NO. [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agreement with the State should be withdrawn.
