As we observe Public Service Recognition Week (May 5–11), it’s the perfect time to shine a spotlight on the men and women who serve our community each and every day. From the early-morning snowplow drivers to the late-night police patrols, from library staff and building inspectors to utility workers and parks crews, public employees keep the City of Alliance running smoothly. Public service is more than a job—it’s a calling. It takes integrity, dedication, and a deep sense of purpose to serve others, especially in roles that often go unnoticed until something goes wrong.
This week, we pause to recognize the people behind the scenes who fix water mains, care for our streets and parks, ensure public safety, plan for growth, and provide essential services to every resident and visitor. We also want to recognize the toll this work can take. Public employees often bear the emotional weight of emergencies, community tragedies, and high-pressure decisions. And still, they show up—ready to serve with compassion, professionalism, and heart. Alliance is proud of the people who make our city a better place to live, work, and play. They are neighbors, friends, volunteers, and community leaders. We encourage residents to join us in saying thank you this week—whether it’s a wave, a kind word, or a simple note of appreciation.
To all City of Alliance employees: thank you for your service. Your work matters, and we see you.
Public Service Recognition Week is celebrated the first week of May since 1985 (beginning on the first Sunday of the month) to honor the people who serve our nation as federal, state, county, local, and tribal government employees.
