State Finance Council unanimously approves settlement in Ronald v. State of Kansas
Summary
The State Finance Council voted unanimously to accept a proposed tort claim settlement in Ronald v. State of Kansas after returning from an executive session; the decision was recorded by roll call.
The State Finance Council voted unanimously to accept a proposed tort claim settlement in Ronald v. State of Kansas on a recorded roll call following a closed executive session.
Speaker Hawkins moved to accept the settlement; Representative Woodard seconded the motion. The clerk recorded each member as voting "Aye," and the chair announced the motion passed unanimously. The council had recessed earlier for a closed session to consult with counsel about the settlement under the KSA provisions cited in the motion.
The motion’s text (read into the record) cited KSA 75-4-319(a) and related KSA language to justify the closed session for attorney–client consultation about a proposed tort claim settlement. The council resumed open session at the time specified in the motion and recorded the vote on the public record.
No details of the settlement amount or the terms were read into the public record during the open session. The council’s action was limited to accepting the settlement as presented and does not, in the transcript, include further instruction to staff or implementation details.
