seats in the United States House of Representatives and the State Legislature and is the basis for
the allocation of billions of dollars of federal, state, and county funds for social and other
programs, and
WHEREAS, Census information is confidential and federal law prohibits any public or private
agency from gaining access to confidential Census data, and
WHEREAS, in Weld County we are committed to a full and accurate Census count and are
placing special emphasis on enumerating members of population groups traditionally
undercounted, and
WHEREAS, in Weld County we are committed to partnership together with the U.S. Census
Bureau in preparing for Census 2000 through address list updates, census map corrections, and
jurisdictional boundary updates, and
WHEREAS, in Weld County we shall form a Census 2000 Complete County Committee
composed of key stakeholders within our communities, including elected officials, planners,
community-based organizations, business groups, religious institutions, and members of the
media.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Weld County Commissioners, does hereby proclaim Census
2000 as a top priority for all departments and appointed officials and encourages the community
to place an emphasis within our jurisdiction of partnering together with the U.S. Census Bureau
in achieving an accurate and complete count in Census 2000.
