BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: N/A
Background: The 2020 Initial Boundary Validation Program (BVP) form was received from the U.S. Census Bureau regarding the validation of the County boundaries in connection with the upcoming 2020 Census. Kenny Mcllwain, GIS Manager, CIS Department, has verified that the boundaries on record for Chairman executed the attached 2020 Initial Boundary Validation Program (BVP) form on February 4, 2020 and the documents were mailed on February 5, 2020. Staff is bringing this item to the Commission in order to make the executed forms a part of the record.
The BVP provides Tribal Chairs (TC’s) and Highest Elected Officials (HEO’s) of eligible tribal, state and local governments a final opportunity to ensure the U.S. Census Bureau has the correct legal boundary, name and status for their government to tabulate data for the 2020 Census.
Responding to the BVP ensures that tribal, state and local governments have the most accurate boundary data available for the tabulation of the 2020 Census housing and population counts. This data is the base for ongoing programs such as the American Community Survey and Population Estimates Program. Government agencies and other groups use this tabulated data to allocate $675 billion of government funds to communities across the country. Legal boundary data is also made publicly available and is used by federal agencies, researchers, and the public.
