BAS is an opportunity for units of government to ensure that the Census Bureau has
current and accurate legal boundary, name, and status information for their jurisdiction.
The Census Bureau uses this boundary information for data collection, tabulation, and
dissemination for the decennial census, American Community Survey (ACS),
Population Estimates Program (PEP), and many other censuses and surveys. The
federal government allocates more than $675 billion in federal funds annually for health,
welfare, infrastructure, education, and other federal programs and services. Correct
boundaries ensure governments receive funds appropriately and have the best data
available for their decision -making processes.
DISCUSSION
City of Dubuque Planning Services staff reviewed the boundary the Census Bureau has
for the city and found it to be accurate. No annexations were made in 2022, so no
changes were necessary.
REQUESTED ACTION
No requested action at this time. Planning Services staff will submit a response
indicating no change to the BAS before the March 1, 2023 deadline. This is an advisory
memo to inform Council of this action and raise awareness of this annual process.
