The Utah Chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA) recently awarded Kaysville City Public Works Director, Josh Belnap, the G. Mark Morrison Outstanding Public Works Employee of the Year.

“I work with 21 people in the Public Works Department and I cannot ever say enough good about what they do and the sacrifices they make in their personal lives responding to emergencies throughout the year,” Belnap said. The award is a “team effort,” he said.

The APWA Utah Chapter annually recognizes outstanding individuals or groups representing the best in public works and those who have demonstrated excellence in service to their community through their role in public works. Award nominations are solicited for multiple categories of position excellence, ranging from Storm Water to Flood Control to Traffic Operations.

National Public Works Week is observed during the third full week of May to recognize the importance of public works in an organized society.
