Johnson County commissioners extend executive session 20 minutes to continue appraiser candidate discussion
Summary
The Johnson County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to extend an executive session by 20 minutes under KSA 75-4319(b)(1) to continue discussion of non-elected candidates for the county appraiser position and to reconvene open session at 5:20 p.m.
Chairman Kelly said the board voted at about 5 p.m. to extend an executive session by 20 minutes under KSA 75-4319(b)(1) to continue discussion of non-elected candidates for the county appraiser position and to reconvene open session at 5:20 p.m.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. It's 5PM. We are back out of executive session. No action has been taken at this time. However, I do move that the board extend the time for the executive session for a total period of 20 minutes for the purposes under KSA 75-4319(b)(1) to discuss non elected candidates for the appraiser position and to ensure their privacy and to reconvene open session in this room at 05:20PM," Chairman Kelly said.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Allenbrand and carried on a roll-call vote conducted by the clerk. The clerk recorded the following responses: Commissioner Fast, "Aye"; Mr. Myers, "Myers, aye"; Mr. Brewer, "Brewer, aye"; Mr. Hanslick, "Hanslick, aye"; Mr. Ashcraft, "Yes"; Commissioner Allenbrand, "Allenbrand, aye"; and Chairman Kelly, "Aye." The clerk announced "With 7 in favor, none against." The board then recessed to continue the executive session.
According to comments at the time of the motion, attendees permitted to remain for the candidate discussion included the county manager, the assistant county manager, the human resources director, the county manager's HR partner, and a representative from Omni HR Consulting. The transcript wording about the number of Omni HR Consulting representatives was unclear; the record identifies a representative from Omni HR Consulting but does not specify how many individuals from that firm were present.
No votes on personnel appointments or other final actions were recorded in the transcript excerpt. The board stated explicitly that "no action has been taken at this time" before voting to extend the executive session. The session was scheduled to reconvene in open session at 5:20 p.m., after which the board went into recess.
