AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of Proclamation Proclaiming the Week of May 16 — 22, 2021, as
"National Public Works Week" in Lodi
MEETING DATE: May 5, 2021
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Presentation of proclamation proclaiming the week of May 16 - 22, 2021,
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 "Stronger Together" and recognizes the vital
contribution public works professionals make every day to their communities. Public Works plays a key
role in the planning, building, and maintaining 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 heroes of our society — the professionals who serve the public good every day
with quiet dedication. These often -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.
