Commissioners recess into executive session on personnel matters; record notes no binding action
Summary
The board recessed twice into executive session to discuss personnel matters under the Kansas Open Meetings Act, returned to open session with a formal statement that no binding action was taken and later moved that the record reflect action would be taken consistent with the consensus reached in executive session.
The Board of County Commissioners recessed into executive session twice on April 20 to discuss personnel matters under the personnel‑privacy exception of the Kansas Open Meetings Act.
A commissioner moved that the commission, several named staff members and legal counsel recess into executive session “for personnel matters of nonelective personnel, exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Act, and to protect the privacy of the employees.” The board recessed and later returned to open session.
Upon return, the commission moved and recorded that no binding action was taken during the executive session. Later in the meeting, a motion passed stating that the record should reflect that “action shall be taken consistent with the consensus reached in the executive session.” No further details about the personnel matters or the specific actions to be taken were disclosed in open session.
Following that procedural business, the commission moved and seconded to adjourn the April 20 meeting.
