Ellis County holds executive sessions to review Tallgrass solar development documents; no decisions announced
Summary
The commission recessed into two attorney-client executive sessions to review materials related to the Tallgrass solar development and to discuss potential litigation; commissioners said no decisions were made and returned to open session.
The Ellis County Commission recessed twice into attorney-client executive sessions on March 17 to review documents related to the Tallgrass solar development and to discuss potential litigation.
A commissioner moved that the board recess to a 30-minute executive session "pursuant to the attorney client privilege exception" of the Kansas Open Meetings Act to review documents related to the Tallgrass solar development; the motion listed outside attendees including Bill Jeter, Darren Myers, Justin Craig, Trish Bote and Oleg Alba. The board approved the recess by voice vote and later extended the session by 20 minutes.
Following the Tallgrass review, the commission recessed again under the same attorney-client exception for 10 minutes to discuss potential litigation; attendees listed included Bill Jeters and Darren Myers. Commissioners returned to open session and recorded that no decisions were made during executive session.
Because the sessions were held under the attorney-client privilege exception, substantive details discussed in executive session were not disclosed on the record at the meeting. The commission did not announce any formal action or settlement related to the Tallgrass solar development during the open portion of the meeting.
