WHEREAS, Public works professionals focus on infrastructure, facilities, and services that are of vital importance to sustainable and resilient communities and to public health, high quality of life, and well-being of the people of the City of Chino; and
WHEREAS, These facilities, and services could not be provided without the dedicated efforts of public works professionals, who are engineers, managers, and employees at all levels of government, who are responsible for rebuilding, improving, and protecting our City and nation's transportation, water supply, water treatment and solid waste systems, public buildings, and other structures and facilities essential for the community; and WHEREAS, It is in the public interest for the citizens, civic leaders, and children in the City of Chino to gain knowledge of and maintain an ongoing interest and understanding of the importance of public works and public works programs in their respective communities; and WHEREAS, The year 2026 marks the 66t 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 2026 National Public Works Week as: "Rooted in Service, Powered by Community"; and WHEREAS, This year's theme acknowledges that the roots of service run deep in public works.
It's what has propelled public works innovations that have helped our communities evolve into places where people can lead lives of purpose and possibility; and WHEREAS, Some work, like building roads and bridges is highly visible, while other public works contributions, like maintaining fleet of City vehicles, water and sewer systems, are sometimes hidden from view. Together, these efforts form the foundation of thriving communities, reminding us that every project, seen or unseen, powers the connection between service and the people it supports.
