EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
For more than 200 years, the U.S. Census Bureau has endeavored to count every resident in the nation
to determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and distribute
federal funding to local communities (e.g., Head Start programs, public transportation, road rehabilitation
and construction). In support of this effort, the California Legislature has appropriated $26.5 million for
California counties to conduct outreach for the 2020 Census to ensure that every resident is counted
once, only once, and in the right place. Serving as the State-designated Regional Census Data Center for
San Diego County since the late 1970s, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is actively
supporting the Census Bureau and member agencies in preparing for the 2020 Census. With a goal to
achieve a complete count of all residents in the San Diego region, SANDAG is coordinating local
outreach efforts throughout the San Diego region and administering $1,565,350 in state grant funding to
support a grassroots approach to reaching communities least likely to self-respond to the 2020 Census
(i.e., complete the Census upon receiving an initial invitation). These "hard to count communities· include,
but are not limited to:
• People without broadband internet access
• Children under the age of 5
• Individuals with limited English proficiency
There are four primary organizations actively working in the San Diego region to support and encourage a
complete count of every resident -the U.S. Census Bureau, the California Complete Count -Census
2020 Office, SANDAG, and the United Way.
SANDAG serves as the fiscal agent for funding from the State and coordinates outreach by the local
governments. SANDAG will lead efforts with the local jurisdictions to achieve the highest self-response
rate as possible on the Census 2020 questionnaire. The focus of this effort is on hard to count
communities (i.e., groups least likely to self~respond). The California Complete Count -Census 2020
Office has created a tool to help Identify these communities: The Statewide Outreach and Rapid
Deployment (SwORD) mapping tool. The California Complete Count -Census 2020 Office requires that
all outreach activities be reported through the SwORD online reporting tool. To facilitate this reporting,
Jurisdictions are required to report all planned and implemented activities using the Excel worksheet as
follows:
• Reporter Details: Reporter name, organization name, parent organization
• Activity Details: Activity type, start and end date and time, location, description, number of
staff/volunteers
• Collaboration: Primary organizer, additional organizers
• Impressions (i.e., the number of times a message is seen or heard):
• Portion of Impressions specific to HTC audiences
• Portion of Impressions in each language
• Feedback and Documentation: Website activity, Facebook link, YouTubeNideo link, venue rating,
participate engagement rating, interaction quality rating, overall effectiveness, what went well,
what could be improved, audience questions/concerns
• Funding Sources and Volunteer Hours
Page I 5
Nov. 12, 2019 Item #7 Page 9 of 31
• Mandatory data elements are signified in the spreadsheet with an asterisk and
highlighted in red. The remainder should be provided as possible. Submittal of this
spreadsheet shall be required on a monthly basis
Outreach will be deployed in three phases, consistent with the recommendations of the California
Complete Count Office and the U.S. Census Bureau as described in the Strategic Plan approved by the
SANDAG Board on July 26, 2019: Educate, Motivate, and Activate. Details regarding activities in each
phase by wlll be coordinated through the SANDAG 2020 Census Complete Count Stakeholder Working
Group and subcommittees.
Jurisdictions shall comply with the following requirements, including but not limited to:
• Funds must be spent in a manner that serves the intended purpose of outreach and education to
ensure a complete and accurate count for the 2020 Census through civic participation aiming to
reach, educate, motivate, and activate individuals who are traditionally excluded and
undercounted (HTC)
• Comply with programmatic and fiscal reporting
• Use funding to achieve agreed upon deliverables and abide by all contract agreements and
reporting requirements as outlined in the resulting Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for
Jurisdictions or Standard Services Agreement for delegated entities
• Provide monthly financial reports to monitor the spending of funds using the Excel worksheet
provided as a link in Section XI
• Provide additional financial reports, as requested
• Funds may not be used for travel and lodging
• Funds may not be used for capital expenditures (e.g., furniture, buildings)
• Funds may not be used for branding efforts, as branding developed by the State shall be
incorporated in all local efforts
• Appropriate use of incentive and promotional material
• Specify how the HTC population as shown through the data provided in the SANDAG SwORD
will be reached
• Demonstrate cultural sensitivity (e.g., staffing that reflects the community, languages supported
appropriately, etc.)
• Funding for ail proposed equipment shall be for leased equipment
Funding shall not be used for overhead or administrative costs -i.e., costs are restricted to those
Involving staff and materials directly related to outreach

Summary
(city of
Carlsbad
Califo rn ia
America's population must be counted every 10 years as mandated by the United States
Constitution. The next decennial census will be conducted in April 2020. An accurate census helps
ensure fair representation at all levels of government, and the results of census have substantial
outcomes for municipal governments as well. The census will determine many things, from the
amount of funding cities receive from the federal government to providing the most reliable and
complete data set available for research and planning.
The primary uses for Census data:
✓ Determine the apportionment of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives
✓ Define legislative districts and school districts
✓ Distribute over $675 billion funds to local, state and tribal governments
✓ Inform redistricting efforts
✓ Provide population benchmark for nearly every other United States survey ·
The 2020 census will request each household in the U.S. to self-report the number of residents and
their demographic characteristics. This information is so important that the census bureau will hire
hundreds of thousands of temporary staff to help enumerate people who do not respond to the
census form, making sure EVERYBODY is counted.
Challenges in 2020
The Census Bureau faces challenges counting certain households and population groups, regardless of
budget and staff resources available. These population segments are known as Hard-to-Count (HTC)
groups. The Census Bureau has done resea rch over the years to determine which populations are
missed at higher rates in the census. Their research shows that children, homeless, lower income,
lower education, English language learners, undocumented immigrants, and racial/ethnic minorities
are least likely to be enumerated properly. Also, since the 2020 census will be conducted mostly

Nov. 12, 2019 Item #7 Page 12 of 31
on line, households with poor internet access will likely also be undercounted. Historically, the State of
California has been the hardest-to-count state in the nation.
In addition to Census Bureau, the California Department of Finance Demographic Research Unit has
created a California-focused hard-to-count metric. The California Hard-to-Count (CA-HTC) Index is
based on multiple demographic, housing and socioeconomic variables correlated with an area being
difficult to enumerate. The state has identified 14 variables that comprise the CA-HTC Index.
✓ households without broadband
✓ limited-English households
✓ non-family households
✓ renter occupied housing
✓ vacant housing units
✓ crowded housing units (housing units with more than 1.5 persons per room)
✓ foreign-born
✓ adult non-high school graduates
✓ lowincome
✓ household receiving public assistance income
✓ unemployed Persons (ages 16 or older)
✓ under 5 population
✓ housing units in a multi-unit structure
Carlsbad has two recognized HTC census tracts (Census Tract 179 Block Groups 3 and 4 and Census
Tract 180 Block Group 2 and 3) with an estimated population of 10,000. The CA-HTC variables most
correlated with this census tract are: multi-unit structures, non-family households, recent move and
renter-occupied units. This census tract also has the highest number of homeless, lower income,
lower education and racial/ethnic minority residents as well. In the most general terms the goal of
census outreach is to target populations with one or more of the HTC variables to maximize self-
response in the 2020 Census.
The following are the goals of the City of Carlsbad Census 2020 effort:
1) Raise awareness of what is at stake in the 2020 Census;
2) Achieve a self-response rate of at least 78% (2010 Self Response Rate according to the U.S.
Census Bureau);
3) Increase participation rates in hard-to-count areas.

Communication
Strategy
The communication strategy focusing on these groups will be varied and will involve using already
established city marketing channels and programs as well as partner-ing with community-based
organizations who have established relationships of trust in the community. Designed to work with
local organizations at the grassroots level, Carlsbad's outreach plan will work to ensure all residents,

including the hard-to-count (HTC) populations, self-respond to the Census 2020 Questionnaire. To
make optimal use of the limited funding allocated for Census outreach, Carlsbad will work to leverage
the efforts of the U.S. Census Bureau Partnership Program, the State of California Complete Count
Committee, SAN DAG and local foundation/ community-based organizations. Carlsbad's Outreach
Plan is based on the idea that by working with various community partners and providing a range of
options for collaboration, we can reach HTC residents and increase the response rate for the 2020
Census.

Funding
Requirements
The City of Carlsbad will comply with the following agreement requirements:
1. Funds will be spent in a manner that serves the intended purpose of outreach and education

Understanding (MOU).
4. The City will provide monthly financial reports to monitor the spending of funds using
SAN DAG SwORD and will provide additional financial reports, as requested.

(branding developed by the State will be incorporated in this effort).
6. The City will appropriately use incentive and promotional material.
7. The City will specify how HTC populations (as shown through data provided in SAN DAG
SwORD) will be reached.
8. The City will demonstrate cultural sensitivity (e.g., staffing that reflects the community,·

Conclusion
The City of Carlsbad believes that the Census is way to establish a valuable dialog with residents.
Ideally this resident conversation can be maintained, and the lines of communication remain open;
even after the count is over. Additional funds, should they become available, would be used in direct
mailings and door-to-door outreach.
