SAFETY FIRST
Citizens of Clay and the surrounding area are encouraged to practice safety first. On the job, at home and especially on the road, the Mayor and Council would like to emphasize the importance of courteous and safe driving. Don’t be a statistic at this time of year when seniors are enjoying the end of their last high school year and everyone is enjoying the beginning of new life in our gardens and on our trees as well as warm weather.

A NEW PORTRAIT OF CLAY
The Mayor and City Council would like to encourage everyone to participate in the 2010 Census. What is the Census?

1. The census is a count of everyone in the United States every 10 years.
2. The census is mandated by the U. S. Constitution.
3. The next census is in 2010.
4. Your participation in the census is required by law.
5. It takes less than 10 minutes to complete.
6. Federal law protects the personal information you share during the census.
7. Census data are used to distribute Congressional seats to states, to make decisions about what community services to provide, and to distribute $300 billion in federal
   funds to local, state and tribal governments each year. Services include disaster relief, emergencies, health care, schools, and senior citizens. The City of Clay has fought an uphill battle concerning funds it should receive based on census data. This is due in part to the fact that the city incorporated in the middle of the last census count in 2000. Having five different postal delivery zip codes and no Clay zip code directly assigned to Clay residents has caused many problems in the past. Hopefully, getting an ccurate count in 2010 will help Clay to realize more Federal funds for its citizens.
