“Public Service Recognition Week”
May 6-10, 2019
WHEREAS, Americans are served every single day by public servants at the federal, state, county and
city levels. These unsung heroes do the work that keeps our nation working; and
WHEREAS, public employees take not only jobs, but oaths; and
WHEREAS, many public servants, including military personnel, police officers, firefighters, border
patrol officers, embassy employees, health care professionals and others, risk their lives each day in
service to the people of the United States and around the world; and
WHEREAS, City of Pa sco employees (currently some 360 in number) represent numerous
occupations and trades, possess a broad array of skills and expertise and put these to use with efficiency
and integrity for all who reside in or visit our City; and
WHEREAS, without these public servants at every level, continuity would be impossible in a
democracy that regularly changes its leaders and elected officials; and
WHEREAS, we all owe a substantial debt of gratitude to City of Pasco employees; and
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Matt Watkins, Mayor of the City of Pasco, Washington, encourage all
citizens to recognize the accomplishments and contributions of government employees at all levels, and
to observe the week of May 6-10, 2019 as
“Public Service Recognition Week”
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Official Seal of the City of
Pasco, State of Washington, to be affixed this 6th day of May 2019.
Matt Watkins, Mayor
City of Pasco
