Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution setting the population at 50,514

BACKGROUND:
The estimated population as of December 31, 2009 was 49,878. Between the end of 2009
and December 31, 2010, an additional 18 single - family construction permits and 4 single -
family demolition permits were issued. A total of 291 multi - family units permitted in 2009
but not constructed until 2010 were added to the 2010 figures. A single - family ratio of 2.94
persons per unit and a 99.5% occupancy ratio were applied to the net single- family unit
gain. A multi - family household ratio of 2.25 persons per unit and a 90.8% occupancy ratio
were applied to the multi - family unit gain. These ratios and percentages were derived from
the 2000 Census information. These calculations yielded a population gain of 636 persons
during 2010 for a total population of 50,514 persons by December 31, 2010.
