Summary
The Senate adopted SJR4 honoring the 100th anniversary of the Utah League of Cities and Towns and heard remarks from Mayor Joe Johnson, the League president, who invited senators to Centennial events and highlighted youth engagement; resolution passed unanimously (27–0, 2 absent).
The Utah Senate adopted Senate Joint Resolution 4 on Jan. 23, 2008, recognizing the 100th anniversary of the Utah League of Cities and Towns. Senator Knudson read the resolution, which traces the League’s founding in 1907 and its century of service to municipalities across the state. The resolution was advanced under suspension of rules and passed by roll call 27–0 with two senators absent.
Following formal adoption, the Senate resolved to the Committee of the Whole to hear from Mayor Joe Johnson, Bountiful mayor and president of the Utah League. Mayor Johnson introduced fellow mayors and league staff, welcomed approximately 500 youth council members attending the session, and invited senators to a lunch at the Grand America Hotel celebrating the centennial. He thanked legislators for partnership on municipal issues and praised league staff for their work producing commemorative material for the day.
The Senate returned from Committee of the Whole and resumed its calendar after briefly recognizing the League’s centennial and hosting the mayor’s remarks.
