WHEREAS, National Public Works Week calls attention to the importance of services provided by public works professionals, including here in the City of Fresno, where highly trained individuals spanning multiple departments, are an integral part of our community; and
WHEREAS, we recognize the ongoing contributions of the City of Fresno’s Departments of Public Works, Capital Projects, General Services and Public Utilities, whose efforts help advance the health, safety, and quality of life for Fresno residents; and
WHEREAS, public infrastructure, facilities and services play a pivotal role in the community’s successful day-to-day operation. Residents go about their daily lives, doing such things as driving city streets, taking showers, and washing dishes, all with the expectation that the infrastructure underpinning these tasks will operate as expected; and
WHEREAS, these critical services could not be provided without the dedicated and skilled efforts of professionals at all levels, including engineers, administrators, field staff, and office staff. These professionals are responsible for the design, building, operation, and maintenance of the City’s infrastructure. They improve and protect our transportation systems and equipment, water supply, water treatment and solid waste systems, public buildings and other structures and facilities essential for the state’s fifth-largest city to function.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that we, Mayor Jerry Dyer, and Members of the Fresno City Council, do hereby proclaim the week of May 17- May 23, 2026, to be:
“National Public Works Week”
In the City of Fresno.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto set our hands and
affixed the seal of the City of Fresno, California, this 21st day of May 2026.
