Bill > SCR62

This resolution recognizes National Public Works Week from May 18-24, 2025, and highlights the critical role of public works professionals in maintaining and supporting community infrastructure and safety. The resolution emphasizes that public works professionals are essential workers who manage critical systems like transportation, water supply, waste management, and public buildings, often functioning as "the silent arm of public safety" by providing vital support during emergencies and being among the first responders in disaster situations. The resolution notes that this is the 65th annual National Public Works Week sponsored by the American Public Works Association (APWA) and calls on the Governor of California to issue a proclamation encouraging residents to participate in programs and educational activities that raise awareness about the importance of public works. By passing this resolution, the California Legislature aims to acknowledge and celebrate the dedicated efforts of public works professionals at all levels of government and in the private sector who maintain and improve essential community infrastructure.
