  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.
