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. An administrative assistant manages the administrative needs of the department.
In an effort to increase our community outreach and further publicize National Public Works Week,
Public Works staff is hosting an open house for the 5th Grade classes from Rosemount Elementary School
on Tuesday, May 16. 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 is the fifth
year that we have hosted the 5th graders during National Public Works week; it is always 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:
