AGENDA TITLE: National Public Works Week Proclamation
MEETING DATE: May 4, 2005
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That Mayor Beckman present a proclamation proclaiming the week
of May 15-21, 2005, as "National Public Works Week".
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Public Works Week is a national event to educate the public on how
important the contribution of Public Works is to their daily lives. This
year's theme is "Public Works Is Everywhere You Look". This theme
reflects the nature of Public Works and how much they truly do
contribute to the community. Those men and women in Public Works who plan, design, build and
maintain our water, wastewater, drainage and street systems, City buildings, and fleet, and who are
responsible for the City's transit and solid waste services are the ones making this important contribution
to our community.
The Public Works Department will host tours at the Municipal Service Center on May 18'" for some of the
local elementary school classes. The children will learn about the different jobs and responsibilities of the
department and how important they are to the community. The tours will show how various pieces of
equipment work with live demonstrations emphasizing safety precautions around them.
A representative of the Public Works Department will be present to accept the proclamation.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
