The 2001 National Public Works Week is May 20th through the 26th. It is a National
event sponsored by the American Public Works Association. President John F. Kennedy
first proclaimed National Public Works Week as an annual reminder of the many ways
public works contributes to our quality of life.
The Rosemount Public Works Department is made up of twenty -two full -time individuals
and approximately twelve part -time personnel in the construction season. They make
sure that the streets are maintained, that the water and sewer systems are working, the
buildings and grounds are maintained and the City equipment is maintained properly. We
all tend to take these services for granted, but these personnel are working to provide
the services at all hours of the day and night so that the rest of us can enjoy our normal
daily schedules. The Public Works Department personnel averages almost 21 years of
experience in their fields of expertise and public works.
The City residents and businesses are thanked by the Public Works Department for
working with us in solving problems that we have in the past and for supporting the
Public Works projects. The Department would also like to thank the City Council for
their past and future support of the Public Works area.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor proclaim May 20, 2001 through May 26, 2001 as
"National Public Works Week."
