Commissioners enter executive session for attorney‑client briefing on CHIPS application
Summary
The Coffey County commission recessed into a 20‑minute executive session under KSA 75‑4319(b)(2) to receive an attorney‑client legal update related to the county's pending CHIPS application; no action was taken in the executive session.
The Coffey County Board of Commissioners moved into an executive session at the Jan. 14 meeting to receive a privileged legal briefing regarding the county’s pending CHIPS application.
County legal counsel Wade Buie requested the executive session under the attorney‑client exception in Kansas statute KSA 75‑4319(b)(2), saying the subject matter was sensitive and public discussion could compromise the application. The motion to enter executive session—for 20 minutes and to include all commissioners and the county counselor—was moved and seconded on the record and carried. The board recessed for the executive session and later reconvened; county staff reported no action was taken in the closed session.
Ending
The board returned to open session with no formal action announced and proceeded with the remainder of the agenda.
