Chair French convened the regular business meeting of the Kansas Corporation Commission on Tuesday, Oct. 14, apologizing for a late start and saying commissioners would consider a 16-item consent agenda.

The commission approved the consent agenda after Commissioner Keane announced he would recuse himself on consent agenda item number 4 and then moved to approve the consent agenda. Chair French seconded the motion. Chair French then called for the vote; commissioners responded "aye" and Chair French said, "The consent agenda is approved." Commissioner Keither had no questions during the roll call on consent items.

The meeting record shows Commissioner Keane stated, "I will be or I am going to recuse on consent agenda item number 4. Noting that recusal I would move the approval of the consent agenda." Chair French opened the meeting by saying, "Well, this is Chair French convening the regular business meeting of the Kansas Corporation Commission for Tuesday, October 14, joined by my colleagues, commissioner Keane and commissioner Keither. We apologize for the late start. Bit of a technical snafu, but we are here now. We have a quick agenda today, just consideration of a consent agenda consisting of 16 items. Commissioners, you've had the opportunity to review those 16 consent agenda items."

After the consent agenda vote, Chair French moved to adjourn, a second was called, the commission voted in the affirmative, and the meeting was adjourned.

The transcript does not provide item-level details for the 16 consent items, and it records Commissioner Keane's recusal specifically for item number 4 but does not indicate whether the recused commissioner participated in the final voice vote. The record of the meeting is brief and limited to the matters noted above.
