Minnesota snowbirds critical to 2010 count
With about two months to go until Census Day 2010, the Minnesota State Demographic Center is
encouraging Minnesota residents who reside out of the state for the winter months ("snowbirds')
answer only the 2010 Census form they receive at their Minnesota address.
41 d2*
" "Every Minnesotan needs to answer the 2010 Census they receive at their
Minnesota address, , ` said State Demographer Tom Gillaspy. If they respond
to the Census form they receive at their winter snowbird' address, they will
be counted as residents of that state, not Minnesota. If even a fraction of
Minnesotans miss the opportunity, we could easily be left with only seven rep-
resentatives in the U.S. House of Representatives." said Gillaspy.
The State Demographic Center estimates that fewer than 3,000 people are needed for Minnesota
to retain its eight congressional districts. Minnesotans, Gillaspy said, should also be aware of the
following:
USUAL ADDRESS
• The Census Bureau counts residents at their usual' address.
• Residents decide their usual' address.
• By using their Minnesota address, Minnesotans benefit their home state.
OUESTIONNAIRES WILL BE DELIVERED TO ALL ADDRESSES NATIONWIDE
• The Census Bureau will mail questionnaires in mid -March to regular mailing addresses (for
example, 123 Elm Street).
• Minnesota snowbirds will receive a 2010 Census questionnaire at both their Minnesota and
snowbird addresses.
• The Census Bureau will hand - deliver questionnaires to the addresses of persons with non -
home delivery, such as P.O. Box, RFD, or Star Route.
• The United States Post Office will NOT forward Census 2010 questionnaires.
Do not answer the questionnaire that is delivered to your temporary residence. Wait to answer
in Minnesota. Answer the questionnaire that you receive at your usual residence. If you didn't
receive a questionnaire in Minnesota, request one from a Questionnaire Assistance Center or di-
rectly from the Census Bureau.
The 2010 Census is critical for Minnesota. In addition to determining Congressional representa-
tion, Census information determines the allocation of more than $400 billion in federal funding
for everything from education to transportation. The business community also uses Census in-
formation for planning, marketing, labor force projections, and more.
For more information about Census 2010 in Minnesota, visit www.mn2010census.org on the
Internet, or contact Ryan Dolan at 651- 201 -2479 or ryan.dolan @state.mn.us, or Barbara Ronnin-
gen at 651- 201 -2473 or barbara.ronningen @state.mn.us.
Oak Park Heights Police Files
From the desk of Chief Brian DeRosier
: J
The proverbial "swamp land in Florida" for sale, snake oil, and other scams have morphed themselves and
are as prevalent as ever. Today I would need the space of a novel to talk about them all. They all tend
to play off sympathy or greed. They evolve continuously as the old scams are revealed.
We take numerous complaints every year from citizens being ripped off in various scams. Call us if you
have been victimized or if you have questions or concerns, to prevent from being a victim.
A recent scam is preying on sympathy in which the victim receives a phone call from the scammer por-
traying themselves as a grandchild or other relative. The caller claims they are in another country, many
times Canada. They claim to be the relative of the victim and tell them they have run across hard times
for some reason such as car trouble, credit card not working, medical problems, or trouble with the law
or an accident. They ask the victim to wire money to help them out. They can be very convincing using
vague answers to your questions and open ended statements to get you to reveal information they then
use to substantiate and make you believe the story they are telling you.
Another emerging scam is using the US Census as a pretense to get information from you. The scammer
may call, email, or even knock on your door. They try to elicit personal and financial information from
you. The real Census workers should have a badge, hand held computer, and Census bag in their posses-
sion. They will not ask for specific financial information or social security numbers, but may ask general
questions of total household income; which you are not obligated to answer. They should not ask for
specific birth dates, rather just the ages of occupants of the household.
Scammers often show up alone or in pairs with many reasons to be at your house such as car trouble or
door to door sales. If they ask to come inside your residence do not let them. They may try and divert
your attention by asking to use the bathroom or some other reason to move away from you. They then
quickly try to find credit cards, personal information, checks, or jewelry and valuables to steal. If some-
one claims to have an emergency tell them you will call the police and have them wait outside on your
steps and lock your door.
If in doubt call our office to help provide you some impartial advice. No Solicitation - notices are avail-
able at the police department which you can post at your front door. Do not give out financial or per-
sonally identifying information in response to emails, or phone calls. Use PayPal or other internet pay-
ment sites instead of personal checks or your credit card if you purchase items on auction sites such as
EBay. Look for the "lock" on online retail web sites before entering you CC information. You can find
more information at the Federal and State web sites www.ftc.eov or www.ag.state.mn.us.
Notes from Public Works
Winter operations in the Public Works Department
Aside from day to day maintenance and repair of the water system, sewer system, streets and parks, Oak
Park Heights Public Works Staff is responsible for removing snow at the City Hall premises and through-
out the City trail system. Staff also maintains three skating rinks during the winter months. These rinks
are swept each day and flooded as temperature permits.
Warming house hours apply at both Brekke Park and Cover Park
Weekdays: 3:30pm — 9:OOpm
Weekends: 9:00am — 9:OOpm
Rinks will be closed if the weather is too warm and the ice is melting. Signs will be posted. Use of the
rinks when the ice is forming or during times of melting can damage the ice base and require several flood -
ings to restore the skating surface. Please visit the City's website at www.cityofoakparkheights.com for up
to the date notifications on rink activity.
Water System SCADA update
The existing SCADA system that controls the Oak Park Heights water system was installed in
1992 and is outdated and is generally unserviceable due to manufacturers eliminating replace-
ment parts from production. This system is being replaced and updated.
SCADA is an acronym that stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. SCADA refers to
a system that collects data from various sensors at a factory, plant or in other remote locations
such as well houses, water towers and lift stations, and then sends this data to a central com-
puter which then manages and controls the data.
Oak Park Heights Public Works Staff is working with City Engineers and Automatic Systems Co.
to install an updated SCADA system that will provide Staff with the data needed for maintaining
managing and reporting operation of the Oak Park Heights water system well into the future.
The approximate cost of the upgrade is $112,000 and is funded by the water utility fund fees
