Minutes — May 29 meeting: The commission moved and seconded approval of the May 29 minutes as presented; the motion carried on a unanimous voice vote.
Executive session — nonelected personnel: The commission recessed into executive session under the nonelected personnel exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Act to discuss a personnel matter involving counsel’s office staffing and the possible hiring of temporary outside counsel.
