A RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS
WEEK AS THE WEEK OF MAY 18, 2025 THROUGH MAY 24, 2025
WHEREAS, public works services provided in Mendota Heights are an integral part of
our residents' everyday lives; and
WHEREAS, the support of an understanding and informed constituency is vital to the
efficient operation of public works facilities and services such as water service, sanitary sewers,
storm sewers, street maintenance, trails, park maintenance, and snow plowing; and
WHEREAS, the health, safety, comfort, and quality of life of Mendota Heights residents
greatly depends on these facilities and services; and
WHEREAS, the quality and effectiveness of these facilities and services, as well as their
planning, design, construction, and maintenance is critically dependent upon the efforts and skill
of public works officials and staff; and
WHEREAS, the efficiency of the qualified and dedicated personnel who staff the public
works department is materially influenced by the residents' attitude and understanding of the
importance of the work they perform; and
WHEREAS, the 2025 theme of National Public Works Week is, "People, Purpose,
Presence," highlights three cornerstone ideals that motivate public works professionals to serve
in their communities every day. Meeting the needs of people is what gives public works its sense
of purpose. Many times, public works professionals will never meet those whose lives have been
impacted because when things are going right, no one knows that public works is there. Yet, with
or without fanfare, public works is ever present, working in the background to advance quality of
life for all.
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City of Mendota Heights to recognize the superior
performance and dedication of its public works staff and honor the vital service they perform for
the City on a daily basis.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Mendota Heights that the week of May 18 through May 24, 2025 is to be recognized as
"National Public Works Week" in the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that residents and civic organizations are called upon to
familiarize themselves with the efforts necessary to provide Mendota Heights with the public
works facilities and services we all enjoy, and to recognize the contributions made by public
works staff every day toward out health, safety, comfort, and quality of life.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 20th day of May 2025.
