GA 9192, CHARLES D. KEE, Member, Board of Trustees for Edmonds Community College District No. 23;
GA 9207, ARLENE MILLER, Member, Board of Trustees for Skagit Valley Community College District No. 4;

GA 9263, DALE BRIGHTON, Member, Board of Trustees for Wenatchee Valley Community College District No. 15.
POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Newhouse: "Senator Bauer, this is a new procedure and rather unusual. If a member wished to record a negative vote for anyone of these, could they notify the desk of that?"
Senator Bauer: "Senator Newhouse, I think that would be a decision of the President."
REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT
President Pritchard: "The Chair believes that if someone wants to vote a negative vote, we will take that name off the list."
Senator Newhouse: "Thank you."
POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator McCaslin: "Senator Bauer, this is a good idea, I think. I recommended it years ago, but my question is if a member is absent, is he absent for thirteen votes or for one vote?"
Senator Bauer: "That's another decision of the Chair."
Senator McCaslin: "Well then I'll ask the President. Mr. President, could you rule on that?"
REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT
President Pritchard: "They are all recorded separately, so it would be thirteen votes."
Senator McCaslin: "Then, I think that is unfair."
President Pritchard: "But everybody is here, Senator McCaslin."
Senator McCaslin: "Thank you very much. I am not talking about today. There is a future, I hope, for all of us and if this comes up again, then I don't think it would be fair that if an individual member was inadvertently absent, that he would have thirteen absent votes counted against him. As you and I both know, occasionally this gets into the political arena. I think that would be totally unfair."
President Pritchard: "Senator McCaslin, let the President assure you that I will only allow this to go on when all the members are here."
Senator McCaslin: "Thank you, could you spread that on the Journal?"
President Pritchard: "I think it is in the Journal, right here."
Further debate ensued.
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the motion by Senator Bauer that the listed gubernatorial appointments be confirmed by a single vote and each name recorded as if voting on each appointment separately.
The motion by Senator Bauer carried and the following gubernatorial appointments were confirmed:
