Resolution Proclaiming May 21, 2023, Through May 27, 2023, as National Public Works Week
body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
The American Public Works Association (APWA) has announced “Connecting the World Through Public Works” as the theme for the 2023 National Public Works week. The theme challenges our citizens and civic organizations to acquaint themselves with the superheroes that lie within each and every public works organization. Public Works employees are always ready to serve their communities, and are resilient as ever in their abilities to pick themselves up off the ground after encountering challenges.
The theme this year encourages Public Works Departments and their citizens, civic leaders, and children in Hernando County to gain knowledge of and to maintain a progressive interest and understanding of the importance of public works and their programs in their respective communities and to think about their communities as a symphony of essential services working in concert to create a great place to live.
In celebration of Public Works Week, the Public Works Department, in conjunction with Utilities and Fleet, held our Second Annual Touch-A-Truck event on April 1, 2023. Pictures from the event are attached.
It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached resolution proclaiming May 21-27, 2023, as Public Works Week in Hernando County.
