Commission convenes two executive sessions on potential litigation; no public action recorded
Summary
On March 30, 2026 the Coffey County Commission met twice in executive session with the county counselor to receive attorney-client privileged advice on potential litigation, including an issue related to a county right-of-way; the minutes record no resulting public action.
The Coffey County Commission entered two brief executive sessions on March 30, 2026 to consult with County Counselor Wade Bowie II on matters described as potential litigation.
The first executive session began at 1:20 PM, included the commissioners and the county counselor, and was described as attorney-client privileged discussion concerning potential litigation; the board returned to open session at 1:30 PM. The board then entered a second five-minute executive session at 1:34 PM to discuss legal advice and opinion regarding potential litigation in reference to a county right-of-way and returned to regular session at 1:39 PM. The minutes explicitly cite K.S.A. (75-4319)(b)(2) as the statutory basis for closing the sessions to the public.
The minutes record that the sessions occurred and their general subject matter but, as required for privileged sessions, contain no details of the legal advice given and record no formal public action resulting from them.
