Senator Hetatley, a member of the Arizona State Senate, read the resolution on the Senate floor, citing Dr. Russell's education and career history, including a doctorate in education from Arizona State University, leadership roles at Rough Rock Community School, service as director at the Bureau of Indian Education overseeing federally funded schools, and his presidency at Din\u0000e9 College, where the resolution said he established several transdisciplinary schools.

A certificate read into the record identified Governor Katie Hobbs as having certified that a flag flown over the state capitol was presented in memory of Doctor Charles Monte Russell. The presiding officer announced that the chamber would recess to permit the flag presentation; family members of Dr. Russell were recognized in the gallery.

In floor remarks attached to the resolution reading, Senator Hetatley described Dr. Russell as an individual with \"integrity\" and said he \"was bold and passionate about his work,\" language taken from the resolution reading.

The Senate returned from recess and continued with other messages and business. The reading and flag presentation were ceremonial actions; no policy or funding decisions were made during the memorial observance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","02/17/2025 - Senate Floor Session","oneSentenceSummary","The Arizona Senate read a legislative death resolution for Dr. Charles Monte Russell, recounted his career as an educator and Din\u0000e9 College president, and recessed to allow a flag flown over the state capitol to be presented to his family.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature Arizona, Arizona","taxId",78572,"location","Arizona","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6326643,"Arizona Senate unanimously adopts House Concurrent Resolution honoring Phil Austin",295,1180000,1475000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2323844-6de36e9e00c9fe30cf8f875c6da6040a&start=1180&end=1475","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2323844-6de36e9e00c9fe30cf8f875c6da6040a/thumbnail_1180000.jpg","/articles/6326643/Arizona/Arizona-Senate-unanimously-adopts-House-Concurrent-Resolution-honoring-Phil-Austin","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6326643-d717b508241abf5455ae7eb1fdf73511/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154087&Signature=HFL3PI8GpnuLAaTgakUeiFkR~~ege4p50-kVF5gAVLq5YNgB~a~kxSH5g-wHLMt91MWs5QYfy~y4IemXLsDAf8sFoMAxqm05SM1qwn8ra6ntAvVOKGTEspB5YXBo7BXDlD4eTTQJWJfmI2rT2TosKIMssu2S67k8qHFO2lRrW~fCSaAYtaEdo-~fcoKotkzSIJWnDu9VGUtXPhAc1NbjRYAR7Xt74vHwZl8oA14cw6lsrtHMbPcD9qTVRS3v8ltQuZ8vyN2sLXmTq5AZViLRB5pd-6a1u2q9dhh~MK3A4-Zdwegp04PSHnrrHUuuBye8lD~WnIQfip~ZJ7YWDBLX~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Arizona State Senate unanimously adopted House Concurrent Resolution 2059, honoring the late attorney and community leader Phil Austin and directing the chamber to stand in a moment of silence, the clerk announced.

The resolution, read aloud in the Senate by the clerk on a message from the House, recounted Austin’s biography and public-service record, including his work in the attorney general’s office, leadership on fair-housing and anti-discrimination initiatives, and community programs such as the East Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Albert D. Austin Junior Memorial Fund.

Senator Miranda, a member of the Arizona State Senate, moved adoption on the floor and asked the chamber to observe a moment of silence in Austin’s memory. “They put on a beautiful service for her father. And what I learned the most is they're a family of humor, of love, and just solid connection, full of love,” Senator Miranda said during brief remarks after the motion.

The presiding officer called for the roll; the clerk reported the ayes had it and the secretary was directed to record the action and return the resolution to the House. No numeric vote tally was announced during the proceedings.

The resolution states Austin died Dec. 20, 2024, and summarizes his career, including prior service in the attorney general’s office, his founding of a Mesa law practice, and community work on civil-rights and cultural programs. The resolution likewise extends condolences to Austin’s family and friends.

The Senate then observed the requested moment of silence. Additional remarks on the Senate floor included personal recollections offered by Senator Miranda about Austin’s family and public life.","The Arizona Senate adopted House Concurrent Resolution 2059 honoring attorney and community leader Phil Austin, paused for a moment of silence and returned the resolution to the House, Senator Miranda moved.","actionData","errors"]
