Week of November 23. 2009 is the last week for landscape waste pickup.   All Sugar Grove Offices closed on: November 26 & 27, 2009 for the Thanksgiving Holiday December 24 & 25, 2009 Winter Holiday January 1, 2010 New Years Day Limited Staffing and Hours on: December 28, 2009 thru December 31, 2010 In 2000, 25% of Sugar Grove residents did not respond to the Census survey.  While this does not necessarily mean that Sugar Grove was not correctly counted it did require additional work by the U.S. Census Bureau.  Work for Americans is a great thing; however, additional work to achieve a complete count is not necessary.  If you return your census form via the mail system, enumerators do not have to be sent out.  When enumerators have to be sent to go door-to-door, this causes the cost of the census to rise. The 2010 Census will be the shortest questionnaire in history.  The 2010 Census will ask for name, gender, age, race, ethnicity, relationship, and whether you own or rent your home.  It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.  All responses are used for statistical purposes only and are strictly confidential.  We are reaching out to each household in Sugar Grove and reminding you that the foundation of our democracy is dependent on fair and equitable representation in Congress.  In order to achieve an accurate assessment of the number and location of the people living within our nation’s borders, the U.S. Constitution calls for a census of the population every 10 years.  The census population totals determine representation in Congress and determines the allocation of state and federal funding. The 2010 Census data will directly affect how much is allocated to Sugar Grove over the next 10 years.  Sugar Grove receives a share of income, use, and MFT taxes on a per capita.  In addition, the library and other agencies receive a portion of its funding based on population.  Lastly, grant dollars are allocated to the County and State based on census data as well (i.e. low income, seniors, etc). In order to insure that this funding allocation to be fair and accurate, it is important that everyone respond.  We are asking that when you receive your form in the mail, take 10 minutes, fill it out, and immediately return it.  Do you part to achieve an accurate 2010 Census and return your census survey.  The U.S. Census 2010 Logo, says it all, it is our hands.   For more information, visit the 2010 Census Web site at www.census.gov/2010.
