The Rosemount Public Works Department is a team of 24 people dedicated to maintaining a safe, clean,
and enjoyable environment for all residents and businesses. The department mission is to enhance the
quality of life through responsive, efficient, and cost-effective delivery of services consistent with
community values. The Public Works Supervisor and Public Works Coordinator work together with three
Crew Lead members and a Facility Specialist to schedule, coordinate, and manage the day-to-day projects
and activities. Two administrative assistants manage the administrative needs of the department.
In an effort to increase our community outreach and further publicize National Public Works Week,
Public Works staff will again be hosting an open house for the 5`h Grade classes from Rosemount
Elementary School on May 22. The students will be able to see city equipment up close, tour a water
tower and well house, and learn from our staff about the different activities included in Public Works.
This will be the second year that we have hosted the 5th graders during National Public Works week;we
expect this to be a fun and educational experience for the students.
As we approach National Public Works Week,we would like to commend the following individuals for
their tireless effort, contribution and service to the public:

for a growing community, the City Council is asked to join in the designation of May 18-24 as National
Public Works Week. The national theme of this observance is `Building for Today, Planning for
