Commission recesses to executive session to review Tallgrass solar documents, discusses potential litigation
Summary
Commissioners recessed to multiple attorney‑client executive sessions to review documents related to the Tallgrass solar development and to discuss potential litigation; recorded attendees were listed and the commission stated no decisions were made in open session.
A commissioner moved to recess the Board of County Commissioners to a 30‑minute executive session under the attorney–client exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Act to review documents related to the Tallgrass solar development. The motion listed attendees for the session as Bill Jeter, Darren Myers, Justin Craig, Trish Bote and Oleg Alba, and it passed by voice vote.
After returning to open session and stating that no decisions had been made, the commission recessed again for additional time and later moved to a separate 10‑minute attorney‑client privileged session to discuss potential litigation. The transcript records the motions and that the sessions were held; it also records, twice, that "No decisions were made." The commission adjourned at 09:42.
The transcript cites the Kansas Open Meetings Act as the legal basis for the attorney–client exception; the record does not include substantive details of the documents reviewed or the potential litigation discussed because those matters were handled in executive session.
