BY: Senator RIVERA

        MEMORIALIZING  Governor  Kathy  Hochul to proclaim
        May 15-21, 2022, as Public Works Week in  the  State
        of New York

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  custom  of this Legislative Body to recognize
official weeks that are set aside to appreciate the knowledge and skills
public works professionals bring for the  betterment  of  the  lives  of
citizens of New York State; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 15-21, 2022, as Public
Works  Week in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance
of National Public Works Week; and

  WHEREAS, Every year National  Public  Works  Week  gets  bigger  and
better;  the  number  of participating municipalities continues to grow,
which means the number of citizens who  are  exposed  to  the  value  of
public works grows; and

  WHEREAS,  One  of  the  main  goals is to educate the general public
about the value and necessities  of  public  works  projects  throughout
North America; and

  WHEREAS,  From providing clean water to disposing of solid waste, to
building roads  and  bridges  or  planning  for  and  implementing  mass
transit,  to  removing snow on roadways or devising emergency management
strategies to meet natural or manmade disasters, public  works  services
determine a society's quality of life; and

  WHEREAS,  New  York  State, and the entire Nation salutes and thanks
the tens of thousands of public work professionals who  diligently  work
every day to improve the quality of life for the residents of this great
Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 15-21, 2022, as Public
Works Week in the State of New York; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted  to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
