Presentations and Recognitions
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Instituted as a public education campaign by the American Public Works Association (APWA) in 1960, National Public Works Week calls attention to the importance of public works in community life.
Public works services provided in our community are an integral part of our citizens’ everyday lives. The support of an understanding and informed citizenry is vital to the efficient operation of public works systems and programs such as water, sewers, streets and highways, public buildings, and development review. The health, safety and comfort of this community greatly depend on these facilities and services. The quality and effectiveness of these facilities, as well as their planning, design, and construction, is vitally dependent upon the efforts and skill of public works officials. The efficiency of the qualified and dedicated personnel who staff public works department is materially influenced by the people’s attitude and understanding of the importance of the work they perform.
