A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING THE CONCEPT
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 are required to provide services to everyone without
regard to citizenship status, particularly in Southern California; 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 hard-
ship on local governments to make up the shortfall;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa supports the concept of counting everyone in the 1990 census
without regard to citizenship status.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be transmitted
to the State Legislature and Executive Branch, and the Southern California
Congressional delegation in cooperation with local government.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 2nd day of October 1989.
