I I I Council Meeting Minutes February 24, 1987 Locke stated on February 11, 1987, New Brighton was designated as the 50th Star City in the State of Minnesota, noting the presen- tation was made by David Speers of Minnesota's Department of Energy and Economic Development. Locke explained the designation of a Star City represents the culmination of over two years of work by the Economic Develop- ment Commission, the city council, city staff, and other members of the community in organizing the community for effective economic development promotion and is the beginning of the city's efforts to market the community, attract industry, and maintain and encourage the growth of the business we have today and build a community of which we can be proud. Locke then delivered the plaque to Mayor Benke; Benke thanked and congratulated Locke and his staff for a job well done and noted this is just the beginning of a lot of things that will be happening in New Brighton in the years to come. Because Benke and Schmidt will be out of town Thursday, Benke took tonight's opportunity to proclaim Thursday, February 26, 1987, as Pike Lake School Day in New Brighton in recognition of their receipt of the National School of Excellence. Pike Lake Elementary School students, school staff, and parents that were present introduced themselves and received congratula- tions from Mayor Benke.
