From: Donald M. Rains, Clerk, Board of Supervisors
Subject: CONTRACT WITH PARTICIPATING CITY IN CENSUS /75
Enclosed are two copies of the subject Contract for services regarding
CENSUS 175. This contract conforms to the fund arrangement that the
Board of Supervisors proposed in April 1974. Namely, the County would
pay half of the total cost of the project with the cities financing
the other half. Table 1 summarizes the percent distribution and cost
to the cities using this plan. The 1975 Census essentially will be a
housing unit census with cost directly related to the number of housing
units counted. Hence, a fair method for the cities to proportia'n the
cost among themselves is by their share of the total number of housing
units in the incorporated areas. The figures used in the table are
from the 1970 Census.
The contract form has been approved by the Board of Supervisors. Also
submitted to the Board was a Progress Report of the project. A copy of
this Report is enclosed.
Please notify Mx. Roy Cameron, County Planning Director, when the
Contract and Progress Report is agendized for your City Council . He
will be happy to be present at your City Council to answer any questions
concerning the Census Project.
After execution of this Contract by your City, please return two fully
executed copies to this office. After all cities have replied, these
Contracts will be agendized before the Board of Supervisors for final
execution.

Organization and Funding
In April , 1974 the ;ounty Board of Supervisors proposed to the cities that a
Countywide census be conducted in April , 1975. All of the cities have agreed
F' to the project and will contribute half of the $644,000 cost with the County
paying the other half. The distribution of the cost is shown on Table 1 .
In June, 1974 the Board authorized the County Planning Department to design
the census program and the required organization. Ed Cristiani , of the Planning
Research Section, was named census director, and Mrs. Nan Hoffman was appointed
Project Director. Besides supervising the preparation of the census maps,
Mrs. Hoffman is recruiting, hiring and training the more than 2100 people that
will be working on the project.
Purpose of CENSUS ' 7S
The purpose of CENSUS '75 is to have an accurate population count in order to
insure that the County and the cities receive their fair share of tax refunds
from the State. The census population count will be used by the California
Department of Finance as a basis for the distribution of the 1975 to 1980 State
subvention monies. Without a special census, the Department of Finance, by law,
will use an estimated 1975 population to determine the County's and the cities'
share of subvention monies during the entire 1975 to 1980 interval.
It is expected that the increased subvention monies resulting from CENSUS ' 75
would be between 4.6 to 8.5 million dollars. As a result of the 1966 Special
Census of Santa Clara County which cost $287.000, at least an additional
$8,000,000 was subventid to the County and the cities during the 1966-70 period
than would have been if the 1965 population estimates had been in effect.
The federal government, as it expands the revenue sharing-block grant approach
to funding, is increasingly using population as a factor in determining local
eligibility and levels of funding. A mid-decade cens:>> should enhance the
ability to document eligibility and secure increased levels of funding.
The second benefit of a mid-decade census is to provide reliable current data
necessary for planning for local programs and fscil I% s, certifying target areas
for public services, documenting local current conditions and trends relative to
proposed State legislation or administrative changes and mandates, and evaluation
of the effectiveness of public services and policies.

THE QUESTION SELECTION PROCESS FOR CENSUS
In an effort to Involve as many concerned citizens and agencies, the County
Planning Department held a public meeting at Leninger Center on September 25,
1974, which discussed the organization, financing, and planning of the
CENSUS '75 project and presented guidel 'nes for census question formulation.
This presentation was followed in October by a series of eleven workshops
covering specific areas of concern. These workshops considered the data needs
of each area and recommended appropriate census questions. Workshop topics
were: Employment/Manpower. Education, Aged, Health, Ethnic Minorities, Women/
Youth/Children, Transportation, Housing, Environment/Population Change, Law/
Justice, Income/Poverty, and Other. In order to insure the widest possible
publicity for the public meeting and the workshops, over 1 ,100 individual
letters were sent to public officials, organizations, and other interested
individuals. Also, a series of press releases were sent to all newspapers
in the County.
Each workshop produced a summary report containing suggested questions, why
each question should be asked, what concerns it addressed, who would use the
data, and the relative priority of the suggested question, f
The County Planning Department also formed a Census Technical Committee which
consisted of a representative from each city and the County. The purpose of
this committee is to insure that city representatives are fully informed of
the activities of the project and to provide a proper vehicle to comment and
suggest ways to improve the project. The activities of this committee were
later expanded to include the selection of the questions to be asked in CENSUS 175.
The committee first met in September and met at least weekly. They have reviewed
the many questions suggested by the workshops, the cities, individuals, and
organizations. The committee has been able to meet the heavy responsibility of
reducing this large number of proposed questions to a manageable list of vital
data needs thanks to the spirit of cooperation which has characterized the
committee's proceedings.
The committee eliminated questions which had severe technical problems and
grossly violated the specified Census Questions Guidelines. The resulting list
was further reduced by considering priorities of countywide needs for data. Be-
cause of the length of this list, the census staff developed alternate ways of
conducting CENSUS '75 that would enable the project to collect a greater amount
of data.
A Census Policy Committee was also formed consisting of a county supervisor,
one council member from each city and five public members. The committee met
on November 15, 1974 to consider census sampling and/or expansion of the census
funding. The committee voted that all questions be asked on a 100% basis and
that the project remain within the approved funding. It left the final decision
on what questions would be asked to the Technical Committee. The Technical Com-
mittee met on November 18, 1974 and voted unanimously for the attached slate of
questions.

Future ,Tasks of CENSUS '
1. Field Enumeration: Plans are currently underway for the recruitment
and training of the 2100 enumerators who will be working out of 14 field
offices.
2. Confidentiality: The Planning Vepc.r;ment, In conjunction with the Census
Policy Committee, will formulae strict guidelines and criteria to insure
complete confidentiality of census data. The Board, on October 10, 1974,
declared that any information gathered by the census project will not be
available to any other project or agency without the express approval of
the Board.
3. Tabulations: The census staff is presently determining the tabulations
needed by the cities, county departments, school districts and other
agencies using census information. At present, two publications are being
considered; the first is a census data book (Profile '75) , and the other
is an analysis of Santa Clara County and its cities using the census data.
the 1975 census data will be compared with the 1970 and 1966 censuses.
4. Data Proces�iin9: The census staff is presently writing all necessary
computer programs for the data processing of the census data. This will
insure speedy tabulations when the office editing of the enumeration form
is compieted.
