Commissioners enter executive session on possible land acquisition under statute 75-4-319(b)(6); return with no action
Summary
The Geary County Commission moved into an executive session citing statute 75-4-319(b)(6) to discuss possible land acquisition with Public Works; commissioners returned from session with no action taken.
The Geary County Commission voted to meet in executive session with Public Works to discuss possible land acquisition, citing statute 75-4-319(b)(6).
A commissioner moved and another seconded the motion to go into executive session under the cited statute. The commission later announced on the public record that it had returned from executive session and that "No action taken," indicating the board discussed but did not make a final decision on acquisition during the closed session.
Why it matters: executive sessions under the cited statute are used to discuss land negotiations where public disclosure could harm the county's bargaining position. The commission confirmed on the record that the topic discussed was not near Taylor Road and that the return and lack of action were placed on the public record.
Ending: The commission resumed open session and recorded that no action resulted from the closed discussion.
