Commission holds multiple executive sessions on personnel and legal advice; no action taken
Summary
The commission repeatedly entered executive session to discuss non‑elected personnel performance matters and to receive attorney‑client privileged legal advice regarding a subordinate board and airport zoning; the commission returned to open session each time and reported no action taken.
The Coffey County Commission held a series of executive sessions during the meeting. Early sessions (two 10‑minute sessions) were convened to discuss personnel matters of non‑elected employees (the GIS coordinator / deputy appraiser); the motion cited the Kansas Open Meetings Act provisions for job performance matters. The commission returned to open session and explicitly stated no action was taken following those sessions.
Later in the meeting the commission entered multiple attorney‑client privileged sessions under the Kansas Open Meetings Act to receive legal advice related to a subordinate board and an airport zoning hearing scheduled for Aug. 12. County counsel attended the sessions; commissioners returned to open session at stated times and again reported no action taken following the executive sessions.
