Two of these activities are to update <br />local addresses and to update local census maps. Recently, the Bureau of Census contacted the <br />county to determine if the county would like to be involved in review of the Local Update of Census <br />Addresses (LUCA) and update of census maps showing local roads, jurisdiction boundaries and other <br />characteristics. <br />County staff believes that it is important to participate in these pre -census activities to ensure the <br />accuracy of the Census 2000 data. For that reason, planning staff and property appraisers staff <br />(which has GIS capability) have coordinated and determined that these tasks could be performed <br />without a significant amount of additional staff time. Therefore, staff recommends that the Board of <br />County Commissioners direct staff to coordinate with the Census Bureau in the review of Census <br />2000 data. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the chairman to sign the <br />attached form, indicating that the county is willing to participate in updating of addresses and maps <br />as part of Census 2000 activities. <br />Attachment <br />A copy of the participation registration - local update of census addresses program form. <br />March 3, 1998 <br />11 <br />[',09K Zi FRUE J�V <br />
