CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2025–2026 REGULAR SESSION
House Resolution
No. 39
| Introduced by Assembly Member Papan |
May 01, 2025 |
Relative to National Public Works Week.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
HR 39, as introduced, Papan.
WHEREAS, Public works professionals focus on infrastructure, facilities, and services that are of vital importance to sustainable and resilient communities and to public health, high quality of life, and well-being of the people of the State of California; and
WHEREAS, Public works infrastructure, facilities, and services could not be provided without the dedicated efforts of public works professionals, who are engineers, managers, and employees at all levels of government, and the private sector, who are responsible for rebuilding, improving, and protecting our nation’s transportation, water supply, water treatment and solid waste systems, public buildings, and other structures and facilities essential for our citizens; and
WHEREAS, It is in the public interest of California communities to gain knowledge of, and maintain an ongoing interest in and understanding of, the importance of public works and public works programs in their respective communities; and
WHEREAS, Public works is often considered “the silent arm of public safety,” usually without fanfare. Public works professionals provide vital support to emergency response partners, helping to protect essential services and restoring those services following an emergency, and are often the first on scene and the last to leave the scenes of disasters no matter the peril; and
WHEREAS, The year 2025 marks the 65th annual National Public Works Week sponsored by the American Public Works Association; and
WHEREAS, The American Public Works Association applauds the national recognition of the “Public Works First Responder” status and its use to support and promote public works first responders; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That the Assembly hereby declares the week of May 18, 2025, to May 24, 2025, inclusive, as National Public Works Week in the State of California, and requests that the Governor issue a proclamation calling on the people of the great State of California to observe the week with appropriate programs and educational activities; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
