Many of the tasks, like plowing streets and mowing <br />parks, are high profile. Many more tasks are completed almost unnoticeable except in their <br />absence. <br /> <br />Our Public Works employees take great pride in their work. The week honors these <br />professionals who serve the public good every day with quiet dedication. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Attachment A: Proclamation <br />CONSENT ITEM – 6F <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
