What is the Census?
When we all answer the Census, our needs are heard.
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 communities receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like:
- Hospitals
- Job training centers
- Schools
- Senior centers
- Bridges, tunnels and other-public works projects
- Emergency services
The data collected by the census also help determine the number of seats your state has in the U.S. House of Representatives.
We can't move forward until you mail it back.
In March of 2010, census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico. When you receive yours, just answer the 10 short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you don't mail the form back, you may receive a visit from a census taker, who will ask you the questions from the form.
The majority of the country will receive English–only materials. Households in areas with high concentrations of Spanish-speaking residents may receive a bilingual (English/Spanish) form.
Any personal data you provide is protected under federal law.
Participation isn't just important—it's mandatory.
Be aware of Census Scams.

Agricultural Activities Disclosure Statement
The City of Monroe values its rich agricultural heritage and values agricultural activities as a component of the city’s community fabric, quality of life and economic health. The City of Monroe places value on its agricultural areas and desires to provide for the protection and preservation of agricultural activities. It is the policy of the City of Monroe to reduce the occurrence of conflicts between agricultural activities and non-agricultural land uses and to protect the public health.
Therefore, developers and tenants of non-agricultural land close to agricultural activities are hereby given notice of the city’s support for the preservation of agricultural activities and operations. An additional purpose of this notification is to promote a good neighbor policy by informing prospective developers and tenants of non-agricultural land of the effects associated with living close to agricultural activities and operations.
You are hereby notified that you may be subject to inconvenience or discomfort due to lawful agricultural activities or operations. Discomfort and inconveniences may include, but may not be limited to, noise, odors, fumes, dust, smoke, burning, vibrations, insects, rodents, and/or operations of machinery (including aircraft) at any time during the day or night.
One or more of the inconveniences described may occur as a result of agricultural operations which are in compliance with existing laws and regulations and accepted customs and standards. If you live near an agricultural area you should be prepared to accept such inconvenience or discomfort as a normal and necessary aspect of living in an area with a strong rural character and an active agricultural sector.
The City of Monroe’s Agricultural Activities Disclosure Statement does not exempt farmers or others from compliance with law. Should a farmer or other person not comply with appropriate local, state or federal laws, legal recourse is possible by, among other ways, contacting the appropriate agency.

The Monroe City Cemetery burial records are now on NAMES IN STONE (www.namesinstone.com)- a new website that allows cemetery record keepers to post both burial information and grave locations online. This is different than other cemetery websites because the public can easily search for a deceased person and then see the location of the grave on a map. It's almost like really being there!
NAMES IN STONE helps families and researchers find information faster. Cemetery record keepers will soon be able to keep their online information current by updating the website as frequently as they choose. Visitors can add headstone photographs and additional information or comments about a deceased. Best of all, NAMES IN STONE is a free service to both the cemetery and to the public.
For a Small fee, NAMES IN STONE allows visitors to decorate graves with virtual flowers. This is a fun Memorial Day activity for the entire family and a nice way to honor loved ones. |
