S. Census Bureau. It seems too early to begin the <br /> process for the 2010 Census, but the U. S. Census Bureau has a very strict <br /> timeline for municipalities to compare the Census Bureau address list with <br /> actual housing units in each municipality and make any necessary appeals or <br /> challenges. Local units of government that do not take part in this LUCA <br /> Program will be unable to challenge the State Demographer's estimates of <br /> population and household estimates between the 2010 and the 2020 census. <br /> Census data are used for apportionment of Congressional seats, <br /> appropriation of Federal funds, State fund distribution and provides accurate <br /> local statistical data. <br /> Earlier this year the City purchased new Arc GIS software for the Zoning <br /> Office. There is a free add-on from ESRI that supports the LUCA software <br /> package. I will keep the Council updated on our progress with this <br /> adventure. <br /> Completed October 31, 2007 2 <br />
