Resolution: RES 175 -2018
File Number: 18 -826 Enactment Number: RES 175 -2018
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE AWARD OF $7,500 FROM THE
LOCAL UPDATE OF CENSUS ADDRESSES INCENTIVE FUND, A
GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE,
TO REIMBURSE THE CITY FOR STAFF TIME AND EXPENSES
INCURRED TO UPDATE THE CITY'S CENSUS FILES AND
APPROVING BUDGET AMENDMENT 19.018.
WHEREAS, the State of California established an incentive fund to encourage cities and counties to
participate in the program and to help mitigate some of the cost of that participation; and
WHEREAS, a minimum of $7,500 was available for each jurisdiction that applied for the incentive and
participated in the program; and
WHEREAS, the population counts from each decennial census are used to reapportion seats in the
House of Representatives; and
WHEREAS, California has more "hard -to- count" populations than any other state and will likely be
undercounted in the 2020 Census, thus the state could lose representation in the U.S. Congress and
funding to many federal programs to the state and local governments based upon the results of the
decennial census and the surveys that follow it; and
WHEREAS, the current estimates of federal funding to California show a potential loss of $18,000 over
the next ten years for each resident missed and Local Update of Census Addresses "LUCA" is the only
opportunity local governments have to review the Census mailing list for completeness; and
WHEREAS, City staff spent over 100 hours on the LUCA project and submitted over 400 changes to the
Census files for the City of South San Francisco; and
WHEREAS, acceptance of $7,500 in LUCA Incentive Fund grant funding from the California State
Department of Finance will offset some of the cost of staff time for this project; and
WHEREAS, grant funds will be used to amend the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 -2019 Operating Budget of the
City Manager's Department per Budget Amendment 19.018.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of South San Francisco does
hereby accept up to $7,500 in LUCA Incentive Fund grant funding from the California State Department
of Finance and approve Budget Amendment 19.018 to amend the City Manager Department's FY
2018 -2019 Operating Budget to reflect an increase of $7,500.
