Nay: None <br /> Chair Dalrymple ruled the motion had carried unanimously. <br /> D. 2020 Census Update <br /> Don Kovaskitz, Director of Strategic Services, introduced Doug Bell with US Census. Mr. <br /> Bell requested that the Board reach out to trusted voices in the community that will assist in <br /> getting a robust and accurate count in the census. 1-2 congressional seats could be on the line <br /> based on the results of the census. In 2010, there was a 74% response rate. A complete count <br /> committee that can break down into subcommittees can be used to focus in on the difficult to <br /> count areas that may include young children, homeless, minorities, or immigrants. Response <br /> Outreach Area Mapper focuses in on neighborhoods that are hard to count. In 2010, the City of <br /> Sanford and Lee County jointly worked together to establish a citizen count committee as <br /> recommended by the US Census Bureau. The time has come for the Committee to begin work, <br /> so again the Commissioners need to take action to develop a Citizen County Committee. Staff <br /> is suggesting that the Chair of the Commissioners, the Mayor of Broadway and the Mayor of <br /> Sanford work together to ask 9 citizens to serve on this committee. Lee County and Sanford can <br /> appoint up to 4 citizens each and the Town of Broadway a minimum of 1. Committee <br /> appointments should represent the demographic makeup of the County so that all population <br /> groups are counted accurately. The forms go out in March 2020. No action was taken. <br /> VII.MANAGERS' REPORTS <br /> A.
