Summary

The commission recessed into executive session twice — at 10:33 a.m. to discuss confidential economic-development information and at 10:50 a.m. to consult with counsel about potential litigation — and reconvened at 11:05 a.m. The commissioners provided time and attendance lists but no substantive public details because the matters are confidential under state law.

At 10:33 a.m. the commission recessed into executive session under the Kansas statute exception that allows discussion of confidential data relating to the financial affairs or trade secrets of corporations, partnerships, trusts and individual proprietorships; the open meeting was to resume at 10:50 a.m. Those listed present for the economic-development session included the commissioners, County Administrator Kevin Frymire, Assistant County Administrator/Finance Director Shannon Kingsley, County Clerk Rick Piepho, Beth Shelton, and County Counselor Brad Jantz.

At 10:50 a.m. the commission again recessed into executive session to discuss potential litigation under the attorney-client privilege; the open meeting resumed at 11:05 a.m. The meeting minutes record attendance but do not detail the substantive content of executive sessions, consistent with the statutory confidentiality exceptions invoked.
