During the Riley County Commission meeting on September 25, 2025, the board, led by Chairman McKinley and Vice Chair Fokie, convened to address critical security measures affecting the county's public facilities and information systems. The session included County Counselor Jacob Hansen and IT Director Corey Meyer, highlighting the importance of safeguarding sensitive information.

The commission entered an executive session to discuss security protocols that, if disclosed publicly, could jeopardize the safety of the county's operations. This move aligns with an exception under the Kansas Open Meetings Act, which allows for private discussions on matters that could compromise public safety.

Upon returning to the public session, the commissioners confirmed that no binding actions were taken during the executive session, ensuring transparency in their proceedings. This focus on security reflects the county's commitment to protecting its resources and maintaining the trust of its residents.

The meeting underscored the ongoing efforts of the Riley County Commission to prioritize community safety and security, a vital concern for residents as technology and public safety continue to intersect in today's digital landscape.
