AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of Proclamation Proclaiming the Week of May 19 — 25, 2013, as
"National Public Works Week" in Lodi
MEETING DATE: May 15, 2013
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Presentation of proclamation proclaiming the week of May 19 - 25, 2013,
as "National Public Works Week" in Lodi.
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 "Because of Public Works..." and highlights the
quality of life brought to communities around the world. We are able to have clean water, safe streets
and neighborhoods, efficient traffic and safe clean communities "Because of Public Works..."
National Public Works Week calls attention to the importance of Public Works in community life and
seeks to enhance the prestige of the often -unsung heroes of our society — the professionals who serve
the public good every day with quiet dedication. These unsung heroes are the men and women in
Public Works who plan, design, build, and maintain our water, wastewater, drainage and street systems,
City buildings, and fleet; who are responsible for the City's transit and solid waste services; who play a
role in the quality of life in our community; and who are helping to move life forward.
A representative of the Public Works Department will be present to accept the proclamation.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
