Public Works Week Game Board

Since 1960, the American Public Works Association (APWA) has sponsored National Public Works Week. Across North America, communities use this week to energize and educate the public on the importance of public works to their daily lives: planning, building, managing and operating at the heart of their local communities to improve everyday quality of life.

APWA is proud to announce “It Starts Here” as the theme for the 2019 National Public Works Week. This theme represents the many facets of modern civilization that grow out of the efforts put forth by the public works professionals across North America. What starts here? Infrastructure starts with public works... Growth and innovation starts with public works... Mobility starts with public works... Security starts with public works... Healthy communities start with public works... The bottom line is that citizens' quality of life starts with public works.

Four DPW employees who demonstrated exemplary work performance will be recognized with the presentation of the "Commissioner's Award for Outstanding Performance" at a ceremony and cookout scheduled for Wednesday, May 22, at Public Works.

Congratulations to:

  • Ed Dodge, Working Supervisor/ Forestry
  • John Fitzgerald, Environmental Services Manager/ Solid Waste
  • Jahi Murrell, Laborer/ Street Cleaning
  • Lissbeth Torres, Senior Laborer/ Building Operations
