WHEREAS, Highline was the ninth two-year college in Washington state and the first community college established in King County with over 350,000 students of all ages having attended classes or participated in programs since 1961; and
WHEREAS, since the Southwest King County College in Des Moines opened its doors to three hundred and eighty-five students in September, 1961, in fourteen portable buildings on a high school campus, and greeted over 10,000 students this past September – tens of thousands of students have transferred to four-year colleges and universities throughout the state and nation after studying at “the college close to home”; and
WHEREAS, Highline’s alliances with other colleges around the world encourage international students to attend the college for their education and give Highline students the opportunity to study abroad, as well as faculty exchanges with institutions from Asia, Africa and Europe; and
WHEREAS, Highline contributes to the economic development of Southwest King County by increasing individuals’ lifetime earning capacity through associate degree education and training; raising basic skills through adult basic education; aiding the transition from welfare-to-work; and providing resources for dislocated workers and the under and unemployed through worker-retraining program; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That we commend Highline Community College for its focus on excellence and on giving each student the opportunity to be successful; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That we recognize the vast contributions made by the college, its staff and the more than 350,000 Highline students throughout the past forty years.
Senators Keiser, Eide and Shin spoke to Senate Resolution 8734.
INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS
The President Pro Tempore welcomed and introduced Dr. Priscilla Bell, the President of Highline Community College, and Jewel Fitzgerald, the Student Body President, who were seated in the gallery.
PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator McCaslin: “A point of personal privilege, Madam President. To those who are not initiated in the Senate customs and mores, we have a custom that after your initial first speech in reaching the Senate, you are to provide all the rest of the membership with gifts. We certainly expect a gift. Now, I don’t know what this is on my desk, other than raising my blood sugar. I certainly appreciate it, but I want to let you know that pre gifts do not count. Only post gifts count, so we will anxiously await your decision in the coming week to deliver another eatable product–perhaps with not so much sugar. We do welcome you to the Senate.”
REPLY BY SENATOR KEISER
Senator Keiser: “Well, when I first heard about the mores of the Senate, I was perplexed and I puzzled over this issue. What I thought I would do is provide a three in one present. So, just untie the ribbon, good Senator, and you will have a gift for the upcoming week. Thank you.”
PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator McCaslin: “Another point of personal privilege, Madam President. When freshman rise, normally the President would say, ‘Senator Keiser, for what purpose do you rise?’ and you respond, ‘A point of personal privilege, Madam President.’ Anyway, we will help you on this side of the aisle with everything you need.”

All contracts by and between a first class city and contractors for any public work or improvement exceeding the sum of ten thousand dollars, or fifteen thousand dollars for construction of water mains, shall contain the following clause:
"Contractor agrees that ((he)) the contractor shall actively solicit the employment of minority group members. Contractor further agrees that ((he)) the contractor shall actively solicit bids for the subcontracting of goods or services from qualified minority businesses.

STATEMENT FOR THE JOURNAL
Prior to the vote on final passage of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5292 today (February 8, 2002), I was called from the floor to meet with constituents on a pressing issue.

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator McCaslin: “A point of personal privilege, Madam President. Senator Morton welcomed Senator Poulsen to the Senate and I, too, welcome him with all his brothers and sisters here. It is interesting, as time marches on, that the new Senators from the House have more fuzz on their face than I have hair on my head--but I can’t do much about that. He did offer to buy the entire Senate lunch, but we don’t want you to spend that much money. I know some of the Democrats are poor, as are some of us Republicans. Anyway, I understand that you have a tremendous sense of humor. We need that here in this body, because as you can see from a couple of bills here today, things get hot and heavy. I am not going to go to caucus all next week because of the way I voted on the seat belt bill. Did you vote ‘aye’ or ‘nay’ on that? Just shake your head up or down; you don’t have to speak. This is not a vote. Anyway, we do welcome you. You are a handsome young man and don’t make anymore speeches.”

The Senate was called to order at 5:11 p.m. by Vice President Pro Tempore Shin.
