Attorney General Al Lance made a motion to approve the Consent Agenda. Secretary of State Pete Cenarrusa seconded the motion. Governor Dirk Kempthorne inquired if Marty Peterson from the University of Idaho would like to make a statement. Marty Peterson stated this request is for a full professor of Ecohydraulics and feels it will be important for the state in dealing with water issues. University of Idaho held an International search for the position and the first two candidates declined the job.
