<br />e <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />survey La Porte residents, the recorded service address was the <br />basis of the three separate mailings. Each mailing, separated <br />by two (2) week periods, contained a letter explaining the need <br />for such a census and a postage-paid census card (see Exhibits B <br />and C in Appendix). Each letter also featured an explanation of <br />the census in the Spanish Language. <br /> <br />As the census cards were received at La Porte City Hall, the <br />'data on the cards was inputted onto the SURVEY Database.

The second and third mailings were specifically <br />directed to those residents failing to respo'nd to the previous <br />mailings(s). The SURVEY System generated mailings of the <br />nonrespondents. <br /> <br />Since apartment complexes and mobile home parks are tied to only <br />one water meter account number, the Redistricting Committee <br />undertook a door-to-door survey of apartments and mobile homes. <br />Dummy account numbers were assigned to mobile home parks (800 <br />series accounts) and apartment complexes (900 series accounts) <br />and the cards were inputted just like the residential <br />responses. In the residential accounts, as with the dummy <br />accounts, the official date of census for the redistricting <br />.project was set as March 4, 1985. <br /> <br />The treatment of vacancies throughout the city was resolved by <br />
