The Senate Business and Labor Confirmation Committee met Oct. 14 and took the following actions: it read a written statement from Kip Cashmore regarding his renomination to the Utah Board of Financial Institutions, it favorably recommended the reappointments of Mark Packard to the State Money Management Council and Andrea Wilson to the Real Estate Commission, it approved the committee minutes from Sept. 15, 2025, and then adjourned.
Kip Cashmore: The committee read a written statement from Kip Cashmore (read into the record by Ronan Randalls, policy analyst with the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel). In the statement Cashmore said he has more than 28 years in financial services, has served on the Utah Board of Financial Institutions continuously since his initial appointment by Governor Jon Huntsman around 2005–2006, and has served on two Washington, D.C.-based boards (Community Financial Services Association of America and INFIN). The committee received the statement but took no vote and moved to the next agenda item.
Mark Packard: The committee heard from Mark Packard, president and CEO of Central Bank, and then voted to favorably recommend his renomination to the State Money Management Council by unanimous voice vote; individual roll-call counts were not specified.
Andrea Wilson: Andrea Wilson appeared virtually, described her two decades in real estate and particular experience in property management, and the committee voted to favorably recommend her reappointment to the Real Estate Commission by voice vote; individual roll-call counts were not specified.
Other formal actions: Senator McKay moved to approve the minutes from the Sept. 15, 2025 meeting; the motion passed on a unanimous voice vote. Senator Musselman moved to adjourn; the committee voted to adjourn.
Where a voice vote was called unanimous, the committee record does not include individual vote tallies.
