RESOLUTION NO. 98-35
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, SUPPORTING
"Census 2000" by the U. S. Census Bureau.
WHEREAS, the census is vital to our community in that it determines the
apportionment of seats in the United States House of Representatives and our state's
legislature, and is the basis for the allocation of billions of dollars of federal, state and
local funding for social and other programs; and
WHEREAS, the census is also used to help determine where to locate schools, day
care centers, senior citizen centers, hospitals and other facilities and is used to make
decisions concerning business growth and jobs; and
WHEREAS, census information is confidential and federal law prohibits any public or
private agency from gaining access to confidential census data; and
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai is committed to a full and accurate census count and is
placing special emphasis on enumerating members of population groups traditionally
undercounted;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA that Census 2000 is a top priority for stakeholders and leaders within our
community and we encourage participation in our jurisdiction's Complete Count
Committee. We also urge full participation by members of our municipal staff in all
matters related to technical preparation for Census 2000, including the annual
Boundary and Annexation Survey and the Local Update of Census Addresses.
