S.B. PRESENTATION BYDEPUTYJEFF LUTHER, CHAIRMAN OF THE CENSUS 2010 <br />COMPLETE COUNT COMMITTEE <br />Deputy Jeff Luther, Chairman of the Census 2010 Complete Count Committee, provided <br />the Board with a report on the Complete Count Committee and 2010 Census by using a <br />PowerPoint Presentation (on file). He spoke about the role of the Committee, their objectives, <br />and the different activities that could enhance awareness and promote participation. He also <br />outlined staff's recommendations: (1) to call the local committee the "Indian River County <br />Census 2010 Community Action Committee", (2) activate the committee through June 2010, and <br />(3) assign nineteen members. <br />Deputy Luther recalled that the 2000 Census Count Committee's budget was $3,200, of <br />which $1,000 came from the Census Bureau, and $2,200 came from the County. He said he <br />would appreciate help from the Board since the Census Bureau would not be offering funding for <br />the project this year. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher acknowledged the financial shortage of the Census Count <br />Committee, and noted that $3,000 would help the Committee with supplies and materials, and <br />that there could be a government reimbursement. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Flescher to <br />allocate $3,000 to the Census Count Committee. There <br />was no SECOND. Motion FAILED for lack of a <br />SECOND. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan suggested Vice Chairman Flescher bring this item back to the <br />Board to show how the money would be spent. <br />3 <br />October 13, 2009 <br />
