be set aside to recognize the accomplishments of Public Works professionals.
· This year marks the 109th anniversary of the Public Works profession.
· Public Works Services provided in our community are an integral part of our
citizens' everyday lives.
The support of an understanding and informed citizenry is vital to the efficient
operation of Public Works systems and programs such as water, sewers, streets,
storm drains, equipment, the municipal airport, and snow removal.
The efficiency of the qualified and dedicated personnel who staff public works
departments is materially influenced by the people's attitude and understanding
of the work they perform.

facilities and.services.

Ashland, hereby proclaim the week of May 18 to May 24, 2003, as'

in Ashland, and call upon all citizens and civic organizations to acquaint
themselves with the issues involved in providing our Public Works and the
contributions which Public Works officials make every day to our health, safety,
and comfort.
