body

Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

I respectfully request a supplemental appropriation of $30,719 to the Communications and Community Engagement Salary and Wages Temporary Account (51200) for the purpose of hiring a temporary half-time U.S. Census 2020 Complete Count Coordinator from November 2019 through August 2020. The Somerville U.S. 2020 Census Complete Count Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating the City’s efforts to maximize Census participation in Somerville by all residents with a special emphasis on organizing outreach and support for hard-to-count populations. This effort will help ensure maximum federal funding for the City of Somerville for the following decade as well as help ensure fair representation in the House of Representatives for our residents.

My staff will be available to address any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this item.

Respectfully Submitted,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
