SUBJECT: U.S. Census Bureau 2010 Census New Construction Program
DATE: September 1, 2009
The U.S. Census Bureau has invited the City of Dubuque to participate in the 2010
Census New Construction Program. The New Construction Program provides an
opportunity for officials of local governments to submit a list of addresses for housing
units for which basic construction began during or after March 2009, with completion
expected by Census Day on April 1, 2010. The Census Bureau will use this information
to visit and attempt to enumerate each newly constructed housing unit that has been
identified as missing from their list.
Planning Services Manager Laura Carstens recommends the City Council appoint
Assistant Planner Guy Hemenway as the liaison for the U.S. Census Bureau's 2010
Census New Construction Program.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

SUBJECT: U.S. Census Bureau 2010 Census New Construction Program
DATE: August 25, 2009
In the enclosed correspondence received August 14, 2009, the U.S. Census Bureau
has invited the City of Dubuque to participate in the 2010 Census New Construction
Program. The New Construction Program provides an opportunity for officials of local
governments to submit a list of addresses for housing units for which basic construction
began during or after March 2009 with completion expected by Census Day on April 1,
2010. The Census Bureau will use this information to visit and attempt to enumerate
each newly constructed housing unit that has been identified as missing from their list.
The purpose of the New Construction Program is to account for new housing units built
after the Census Bureau's Field Canvas was completed. The Census Bureau stresses
that the accuracy of the address list is critical to the census enumeration, and the City's
participation in the new construction program is encouraged because it will help assure
complete coverage for the enumeration within the City.
The Census Bureau asks that an elected official with the City designate a liaison for the
new construction program. Assistant Planner Guy Hemenway has been actively
participating in the LUCA (Local Update of Census Addresses) and (BAS) Boundary
and Annexation Survey mapping programs for the 2010 Census.
I recommend that the City Council appoint Assistant Planner Guy Hemenway as the
liaison for the U.S. Census Bureau's 2010 Census New Construction Program.

The U.S. Census Bureau invites your government to participate in the 2010 Census New
Construction program. The New Construction program provides an opportunity for officials of
local governments to submit a list of city-style addresses for housing units for which basic
construction began during or after March 2009 and completion is expected by Census Day,
April 1, 2010. The Census Bureau, using the participant supplied addresses, will visit and
attempt to enumerate each newly constructed housing unit that has been identified as missing
from our list.
The Census Bureau will have updated its address list through a field canvass in your
jurisdiction in the spring/summer of 2009; the purpose of the New Construction program is to
account for new housing units built after our field canvass was completed. The New
Construction program is offered only to local and tribal jurisdictions that contain blocks where
the Census Bureau plans to mail the 2010 Census questionnaires to the housing units. In
other areas, Census Bureau enumerators will hand deliver questionnaires to all housing units
in each block and record addresses for any new housing units.
The accuracy of the address list is critical to the census enumeration. Through participation in
the New Construction program, your knowledge can help assure that we achieve complete
coverage in our enumeration of your jurisdiction.
The enclosed 2010 Census New Construction Program flyer provides further information that
may assist you in deciding whether to participate in this program. Also enclosed is a New
Construction program Registration Form.
If your government chooses to participate, please do the following:
1) Review the enclosed information about the program;
2) Designate a New Construction program liason;
3) Complete, sign, and return the Registration Form to the Census Bureau.
The registration form must be completed and received by the Census Bureau by October 8,
2009. The Census Bureau will begin shipping New Construction materials to registered
participants beginning in November 2009. If you decide to participate your New Construction
submission must be received no later than 45 calendar days after you receive your New
Construction materials. Address submissions will only be accepted in electronic format.
Program materials will include a choice of shapefiles or PDF maps for reference only. The
New Construction program will not accept map updates.
Please continue with letter on reverse.
