Request/Subject

Appointment of initial membership to the Census 2020 Complete Count Committee for Gila County.

Background Information

On October 16, 2018, the Gila County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution number 18-10-02, which established a Census 2020 Complete Count Committee for Gila County. A Complete Count Committee (CCC) is a volunteer committee focused on raising awareness about the 2020 Census and on motivating residents in their communities to fill in and return their Census forms. A CCC is comprised of a broad spectrum of governmental and community leaders from education, business, and other community organizations. These trusted voices develop and implement a 2020 Census awareness campaign based upon their knowledge of the local community to encourage a response.

Evaluation

A CCC is a volunteer committee established by tribal state and local governments to increase community awareness and motivate residents to respond in a timely and accurate manner. Gila County created a CCC in 2009, in preparation for the 2010 Census. CCCs promote awareness and help ensure that every person gets counted in the upcoming 2020 Census. The members of the CCC shall be appointed by the Board of Supervisors. They will lead throughout Gila County in the promotion of a 2020 Census awareness campaign and will be committed to assuring that every resident is counted.

At the present time, there are a number of individuals who have expressed an interest in and a willingness to serve on the CCC. We anticipate that there will be additional members added in the coming months.

Conclusion

Approval to appoint the initial members of the 2020 CCC for Gila County to promote awareness and help ensure that every person gets counted in the 2020 Census.
