Public Service Recognition Week May 1-7, 2011
WHEREAS, Americans are served every single day by public servants at the federal, state,
and local levels, and these unsung heroes do the work of our nation; and
WHEREAS, public employees take not only jobs, but oaths, and are bound by ethical codes;
and
WHEREAS, many public servants including military personnel, police officers, firefighters,
health care professionals and others, risk their lives each day in service to the
people of the City of Milton, the State of Georgia, the United States, and the
world; and
WHEREAS, public servants also include teachers, elected officials, city staff, citizen
committee and board members, and countless other paid and unpaid occupations
and positions; and
WHEREAS, public servants in the City of Milton have worked tirelessly to ensure the safety
and welfare of our citizens, raise awareness and appreciation for the diversity in
our community, preserve our land, waterways, and historic structures, encourage
economic growth, and make improvements to our infrastructure — all of which
serve to improve the quality of life of our current residents and generations to
come; and
WHEREAS, day in and day out, these public servants provide the diverse services demanded
by the American people of their government with efficiency, integrity, and
honor; and
WHEREAS, without public servants at every level, continuity and progress would be
impossible in a democracy that regularly changes its leaders and elected officials;
Now, therefore, we, the Mayor and City Council of the City of Milton, Georgia, do hereby
proclaim the week of May 1--- 7, 2011, as Public Service Recognition Week in the City of Milton,
and encourage all citizens to recognize the accomplishments and contributions of government
employees at all levels — federal, state, county, and local, and urge all citizens to join in
expressing their appreciation to these individuals.
Given under my hand and seal of the City of Milton, Georgia on this 2nd Day of May, 2011.
Joe Locl�vdod
