Proclamation in Recognition of National Public Works Week, May 15-21, 2011
Body
Whereas, National Public Works Week (NPWW) was first held in 1960 to honor and salute the men and women who work tirelessly year-round to revitalize, reinvest and renew communities across North America; and
Whereas, NPWW calls attention to the importance of public works in community life. NPWW 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; and
Whereas, it is through NPWW that the American Public Works Association highlights the dedication of those employees who work hard to make our communities greater for each generation; and
Whereas, this year, the 2011 theme for the NPWW is "Public Works: Serving You and Your Community."
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Mayor and City Council of Rochester Hills hereby designate May 15-21, 2011 to be the "NATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS WEEK" in the City of Rochester Hills.
