RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
SUPPORTING THE CONCEPTS OF COUNTING
EVERYONE IN THE 1990 CENSUS WITHOUT REGARD
TO CITIZENSHIP STATUS
WHEREAS, the federal government will conduct the 10 -year census
in 1990, and:
WHEREAS, the stated purpose of the census is to arrive at the
total count of everyone in the country regardless of citizenship
status, and;
WHEREAS, states, particularly Southern California, are required
to provide services to everyone, without regard of citizenship
status, and;
WHEREAS, the Congress, of the United States is considering
restricting the census to legal citizens only, which would
effectively deny regions like Southern California vitally needed
federal dollars, and;
WHEREAS, the effect of this denial of federal funds causes
undue hardship on local governments to make up the shortfall,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of Santa Clarita
supports the concept of counting everyone in the 1990 Census without
regard to citizenship status,
And be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be
transmited to the State Legislature and Executive Branch, and the
Southern California Congressional delegation in cooperation with
local government.
PASSED,
