Committee adopts resolution honoring Frank Wayden Smith
Summary
The House Committee on Rules voted to move House Concurrent Resolution 19 — honoring the life and community service of Frank Wayden Smith — to the floor with a be-adopted recommendation.
Representative Court Boyce introduced House Concurrent Resolution 19 to the House Committee on Rules on March 17 and summarized the life and public service of Frank Wayden Smith (1945–2024), a longtime Port Orford resident who owned a restaurant, served on local boards and supported veterans and Rotary scholarship efforts.
Vice Chair Drazen moved HCR 19 “to the floor with a be adopted recommendation.” The committee proceeded to a roll-call vote. The transcript records the chair asking members in roll-call sequence and records several members as voting in favor and two members as excused; the chair announced, “The motion is adopted,” and assigned Representative Boyce as the bill’s floor carrier.
Representative Boyce described Smith’s contributions including decades of volunteer and elected service, support for Meals on Wheels, and the Rotary Scholarship Endowment Fund that grants scholarships to high school graduates. The committee closed the work session after adopting the motion and assigned a floor carrier.
Why it matters: HCR 19 is a ceremonial resolution memorializing a long-serving community member; the committee’s adoption moves the memorial resolution to the full House for concurrence or further action.
