AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of Proclamation Proclaiming the Week of May 21 — 27, 2017, as
"National Public Works Week" in Lodi
MEETING DATE: May 3, 2017
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Presentation of proclamation proclaiming the week of May 21 - 27, 2017,
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 "Public Works Connects Us" and recognizes the
vital role of Public Works in connecting us all together. Public Works plays a key role in the planning,
building and maintenance of infrastructure in our community that will allow future generations to enjoy a
higher quality of life.
National Public Works Week calls attention to the importance of Public Works in community life and
seeks to recognize 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, transit, and solid waste services. These folks play a role in the quality of life in our community, and
help move life forward.
A representative of the Public Works Department will be present to accept the proclamation.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
