Title
Proclamation in Recognition of Public Service Recognition Week, May 1-7, 2011
Body
Whereas, celebrated the first week of May since 1985, Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW) is a nationwide public education campaign honoring the men and women who serve our nation as federal, state, county and local government employees and ensure that our government is the best in the world.
Whereas, many public servants, including military personnel, police officers, firefighters, border patrol officers, embassy employees, health care professionals and others, risk their lives each day in service to the City of Rochester Hills; and
Whereas, as cities and states throughout the country face tough budget cuts and difficult spending decisions, our nation's public servants are increasingly asked to do more with less. Without these public servants at every level, continuity would be impossible in a democracy that regularly changes its leaders and elected officials.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Rochester Hills Mayor and City Council hereby recognize May 1-7, 2011, as Public Service Recognition Week in our community.
