AGENDA TITLE: Natioml Public Works Week Proclamation
MEETING DATE: May 3, 2006
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECORWENDED ACTION: That Mayor Hitchcock present a proclamation proclaiming the week
of May 21-27, 2006, 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: The Heart of Every Community".
This theme reflects how important Public Works is to our
community. The 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 "heart" of the community.
The Public Works Department will host tours at the Municipal Service Center on May 24th for some of the
local elementary school classes. The children will learn about the importance of the different jobs and
responsibilities of the department to the community. The tours will show how various pieces of
equipment work, along with live demonstrations which emphasize the safety precautions to be used while
around the equipment.
A representative of the Public Works Department will be present to accept the proclamation.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
