ATTENTION – DELLONA RESIDENTS
FILLING VACANT BOARD SEAT BY APPOINTMENT
On occasion, a seat on the Town of Dellona Board of Supervisors may become vacant due to the resignation of a Board member or the inability of a seated member to complete their term. The remaining members of the Town Board together with the Town Clerk may, by majority vote, appoint another Town of Dellona resident to fill the remaining term of the vacated seat.
It is anticipated that a seat will be coming vacant later this month and the remaining members of the Board would like to solicit expressions of interest from Town of Dellona residents who might want to be considered for appointment to this seat. The remaining term runs to April, 2019.
Interested persons are encouraged to attend the May 14th regular meeting of the Town of Dellona Board of Supervisors. An Agenda item will be provided for persons to introduce themselves, ask questions, and express their interest during the meeting. The meeting will be called to order at 7:00 pm or immediately following the Plan Commission meeting preceding the Board meeting.

LOCAL UNIT CENSUS ADDRESS PROJECT – (LUCA)
In July, 2017, your Town received an invitation from the US Census Bureau to participate in a program to update mailing addresses to be used for the 2020 Census. In conducting the Census, forms will be sent to each residence in the nation requesting the residents to provide information on the number of residents in each dwelling as well as a variety of other items requested on the forms. Thus, the accuracy of the Census is directly related to the accuracy of the residential address lists used by the Census Bureau.
Obtaining a correct Census is important for many reasons including representation at various governmental levels and other Federal, State, and local programs. Of particular interest to the Town of Dellona are the various funding and opportunities for cost sharing available from other government entities based on the Census population
Dellona has experienced significant growth since the last Census and will benefit from ensuring that the 2020 Census reflects that growth. At the August 14, 2017 Town Board meeting, the Board determined that the Town should participate in the project and determined that the time and related expenses involved would be a sound investment. The Town Clerk was directed to undertake the project.
The project began with both in-person and online training sessions. Following that, field work was conducted using the 145-page address list provided by the Census Bureau. Overall, the field work and subsequent preparation of the results for submission consumed more than fifty hours of work and two-hundred plus miles of travel within the Town. The work included locating and verifying each physical address, identifying new streets and residence addresses, updating map data and correcting the existing address list.
The field work revealed significant changes. Five entirely new streets needed to be added to the existing Census Bureau map sheets. Fifty-two new residence addresses were added to the existing Census Address list. Forty pages of the 145-page Address List provided by the Census Bureau required at least one or more changes or corrections. On the debit side, meanwhile, fire, demolition, and/or abandonment resulted in removal of four residence addresses from the list.
The completed work was submitted to the Census Bureau for final review on April 27th. The Census Bureau now has until April, 2019, to review our submissions and indicate their acceptance. Census Day will be in April, 2020.
