The Utah Senate moved and approved confirmation of appointments transmitted by Governor Jon M. Huntsman Jr. on Jan. 17, 2006, including reappointments to the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District and appointments to the Crime Victims Reparation Board and the Health Facility Committee.
Senator Hilliard made the motion that the Senate concur with the governor's list as read by the clerk. Senator Bramble noted that one appointee, Wayne Gibson, is the father of Representative Carrie Gibson, and the chamber acknowledged long service by the appointees. The president announced that the motion received "25 yes votes, 0 nay votes, with 4 being absent," and confirmed the appointments for referral back to the House as appropriate.
The confirmations were handled by motion and roll call on the floor; the clerk's communication accompanying the nomination letter bore the governor's signature and requested timely consideration and confirmation.
