  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a true public 
servant and community leader. After serving more than 21 years as City 
Manager of Golden, Colorado, Mike Bestor is retiring.
   Mike's work ethic, integrity and thoughtfulness made him an 
effective City Manager for the City of Golden for more than 21 years. 
Golden flourished under Mike's management. His efforts to develop 
biking and hiking trails, additional park space, Fossil Trace Golf 
Course, the community center and countless other projects have helped 
enhance Golden and the ability for residents and visitors alike to 
live, work and play there. Even during the recession, Mike was able to 
keep Golden strong despite difficult budget cuts. Mike's appreciation 
and dedication to the city and its employees and residents is evident 
in everything he accomplished.
   Mike Bestor exemplifies the best in public service, and Golden was 
fortunate to have his leadership for 21 years. Congratulations on your 
retirement and thank you for all you have done for the City of Golden 
and our community.
