PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, public servants serve the American people every day at the federal, state,
county and city levels. They do the work that keeps our nation and city moving
forward; and
WHEREAS, public employees take not only jobs, but oaths of service; and
WHEREAS, many public servants, including military personnel, police officers,
firefighters, health care professionals and other first responders, risk their lives each
day in service to the people of the United States and around the world; and
WHEREAS, career civil servants carry out the most fundamental purpose of
government —to ensure public safety and represent the public interest in addressing
social, economic and political challenges; and
WHEREAS, without these public servants at every level, continuity would be
impossible in a democracy that regularly changes its leaders and elected officials;
NOW THEREFORE, I, Thomas McLeod, Mayor of the City of Tukwila, do hereby
proclaim May 4 - 10, 2025, as:
Public Service Recognition Week
in the City of Tukwila and encourage all community residents to join me in
