Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $20,000 for the 2020 Census Toledo Lucas County Complete Count Committee (CCC). The CCC was created to ensure that our community is prepared for the upcoming 2020 Census that begins next April. The results of the 2020 Census will be instrumental in the redistricting of legislative districts within Ohio and the allocation of federal funds to state and local governments. For Federal Fiscal Year 2017 alone, over $2 billion in federal resources were obligated to Toledo and Lucas County for crucial local functions such as transportation, education, healthcare, and social services. The CCC will hire a Census Coordinator with these funds, and they will manage the day-to-day planning, coordination and execution of census activities and also ensure the implementation and coordination of activities, branding and messaging, and stakeholder engagement.
