Proclamation
WHEREAS, public works infrastructure, facilities, vehicles, and services are of vital importance to sustainable communities and the health, safety and well-being of the people of Chino; and
WHEREAS, the planning, development, design, maintenance and operation of public works systems such as storm drains, sewers, water lines, streets, bridges, street lights, street signs, curb painting, traffic signals, public buildings, the City fleet, street trees, solid waste collection, and recycling is essential to meeting the needs of our community members; and
WHEREAS, such facilities and services could not be provided without the dedicated efforts of public works professionals, maintenance & operations teams, inspectors, engineers, and administrators; and,
WHEREAS, the year 2025 marks the 65th annual National Public Works Week sponsored by the American Public Works Association; and
WHEREAS, the American Public Works Association (APWA) has announced the theme for 2025 National Public Works Week as: "People, Purpose, Presence"; and WHEREAS, this year's theme highlights three cornerstone ideals that motivate public works professionals to serve in their communities every day, meeting the needs of people is what gives the Public Works team its sense of purpose; and WHEREAS, many times, public works professionals will never meet those whose lives have been impacted because when things are going right, no one knows that public works is there. Yet, with or without fanfare, public works is ever present, working in the background to advance quality of life for all who live, work, and play in the great City of Chino.
