A REMINDER FROM YOUR NEIGHBORS W e would like to remind homeowners, both as a courtesy and for the safety of everyone, to please keep your sidewalks clear to allow walkers, runners, and chil- dren access to the sidewalk. This includes shoveling your walk in a timely manner after a snow storm (which is required to be done within 24 hours after it stops snowing) and clearing any low hanging branches or other garden mate- rial that may have grown into the path of the sidewalk. In addition, we remind residents to place trash cans and recycling containers in the street at the curb, away from driveways and mailboxes. Do not place them on the sidewalks. The Municipal Code allows for refuse containers to be out at the curb beginning at 6:00 PM on the day prior to the day of collection and they must be re- moved from the curb no later than 9:00 PM on the day of collection. We appreciate everyone's help in making our side- walks both safer and easier to use. Thank you.

The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years. The 2010 Census will help communi- ties receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year. The data collected by the census also help determine the number of seats Colorado has in the U.S. House of Representatives. WHAT SHOULD I DO? You will receive a Census questionnaire consisting of 10 questions in March 2010. Complete the question- naire and mail it back by April 1, 2010. If the question- naire is returned by April 1, 2010, you're done! If you have difficulties filling out the questionnaire and it is not mailed back by April 1, 2010, an individual from the Census will visit your home to assist you with completing the questionnaire. WHY IS THE CENSUS IMPORTANT? The Census is important because complete and accurate Census data is critical to our ability to serve the people of Louisville. The data helps us identify our population and their needs and allows us to secure our share of federal funding to meet those needs. WHO DOES THE DATA HELP? Everyone! Over 200 agencies make their funding allocations based on Census data. Some examples where federal funding is allocated are: educational agencies, Head Start programs, Women, Infants and Children (WIC), Public Transportation, Road rehabilitation and construction and emergency food and shelter. QUESTIONS? If you have any questions about the 2010 Census, please contact Gavin McMillan at 303.335.4594 or GavinM @LouisvilleCO.gov. A questionnaire assistance center will be open at the Louisville Recreation Center February 19 - March 19. Free and anonymous consulta- tion will be available at this time for anyone who has questions about how to complete the questionnaire.
