            House Resolution No. 102.

            Whereas, Public works and infrastructure, facilities and services are of vital importance to sustainable communities and to the health, safety and well­being of the people of Michigan; and

            Whereas, Such facilities and services could not be provided without the dedicated efforts of public works professionals, engineers, managers and employees from state and local units of government and the private sector. They are responsible for and must plan, design, build, operate, and maintain the transportation, water supply, water treatment, and solid waste systems, public buildings and other structures and facilities essential to serve our citizens; and

            Whereas, It is in the public interest for citizens, civic leaders, and children in Michigan to gain knowledge of and to maintain an interest and understanding of the importance of public works and public works programs in their communities; and

            Whereas, May 21-27, 2017, marks the 57th annual National Public Works Week sponsored by the American Public Works Association; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 21-27, 2017, as Public Works Week in the state of Michigan.
