Note From The Mayor
Normally April, combined with Springtime, brings excitement for the upcoming construction season but 2020 has very different so far.
These are very trying times for many in our community and state. I could write on and on about the difficulties affecting people from
the Covid-19 virus, but I will defer to the great coverage by the local news media, the continued updates from Johnson County
Emergency Management and the Governor’s office. I have a strong belief that the knowledge and strength being provided by Iowans
will push us all through this situation quickly and successfully to get back to normal was soon as possible. We can all make this happen
by following the directions from the healthcare professionals.
I assure all Tiffin residents that city services will continue to the best of our ability within City Staff, Public Works and City
Council Members. In an effort to limit the spread, some areas like the parks and city hall are affected by social distancing however,
most services provided by the City will appear unaffected. As always, traffic flows through Tiffin are a high priority. The Highway 6/
Park Road Roundabout project will be making progress within a week or two. This project is scheduled to be substantially complete at
the end of this summer. In addition, I expect several other projects such as Phase 2 of the Original Town Urbanization Project, trail
improvements and the drilling a new well will begin soon as well.
Everyone please complete your census! Accurate population numbers are extremely important to Tiffin. Let’s make sure to
‘Be Counted’. As always, watch our City website and Facebook page for more information.

Why is it important?
• The goal of the U.S. Census is to count every
person living in the U.S. once, only once, and
in the right place.
• It’s your civic duty: a way to participate in our
democracy and say “I count.”
• Businesses use Census Bureau data to decide
where to build offices, stores and factories, and
these create jobs.
• Census data impacts our daily lives, informing
important decisions about funding for services
and infrastructure in our community.
• Local government officials use the census to
ensure public safety and to plan new schools
and hospitals.
• It impacts our community. The distribution of
more than $675 billion in federal funds, grants
& support to states, counties & communities are
based on the census data. That money is spent
on schools, hospitals, roads, public works and
other vital programs.
• Every 10 years, the results of the census are used
to reapportion the House of Representatives,
determining how many seats each state gets.
How do I respond?
• In March of 2020, you can expect to receive
an invitation in the mail to go online and
complete the census questionnaire.
• For the first time, you can choose to complete
the census online, by phone, or by mail.
Find out more about each of these different
methods online at 2020census.gov.
