Public Works Week

National Public Works Week (May 15-21) means its time to tip our hats to the city of Santee’s public services crew. The 13-member staff performs an amazing array of tasks ranging from graffiti removal to patching potholes. They are a resourceful group of men and women, and we salute them for their diligent efforts to maintain Santee as a great place to live. The gentleman in this photo operating a power sweeper at Town Center Community Park is Public Services Manager Bob Stein, who obviously leads by example and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. If you see something that needs their attention, you can leave a message by calling the Public Services Division hotline at (619) 258-4195, Ext. 104.
