Commission names liaison for census outreach and discusses deadlines for city outreach
Summary
Staff named liaison Hector Mejia to coordinate Sunnyside's census outreach; commissioners discussed an internal form due Jan. 21, a February training, mailings in March and completion by June and agreed to assist with local outreach to improve grant eligibility.
Sunnyside City staff told the Community and Economic Development Commission that the city received a packet for census outreach and named liaison Hector Mejia as the point of contact for commission involvement.
Staff said the initial internal form is due Jan. 21, a training Zoom session is planned for February, mailings are expected in March and completion is anticipated by June. Commissioners stressed the importance of accurate census counts for future grant applications and offered to help distribute packages and encourage responses from businesses and residents.
Hector and other commissioners said they will review the packet and return recommended outreach steps to the group once they have details from the city; staff will bring the packet or a summary to a future meeting so commissioners can align outreach efforts.
Next steps: Hector will gather the census packet information and share it with commissioners; members will consider whether to use an estimate or to recruit volunteers for a full outreach campaign.
