| |
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION: | | ADOPT resolution in recognition of National Public Works Week, May 21 - 27, 2017. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | SUMMARY: | National Public Works Week is an opportunity to pay tribute to our local, state and national public works professionals and their role in improving our health, safety, and quality of life. Transportation facilities - roads, bridges, highways, rail lines, sidewalks, bikeways and trails - are all part of the infrastructure that public works professionals are responsible for overseeing. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION: | | Several members of the Transportation Agency staff belong to the American Public Works Association and are actively engaged in the bi-monthly Monterey Bay Chapter meetings. This association provides an opportunity for public works professionals to coordinate activities among agencies and learn about the latest technologies, designs and regulations that affect transportation and other public works projects. In addition, the Executive Director currently serves on the APWA national Government Affairs Committee to promote investment in public works infrastructure by the federal government; she also participates in monthly California Advocacy Committee meetings to monitor state legislation and budget issues related to public works infrastructure. |
