Neodesha commissioners hold executive session to discuss non‑elected personnel
Summary
After administering the mayoral oath, the Neodesha Board of Commissioners recessed into an executive session Jan. 9 to discuss an individual employee’s performance under KSA 75-4319(b)(1). The closed session was extended twice; the body reconvened at 12:55 p.m. with 'no action taken.'
The Neodesha Board of Commissioners recessed into an executive session at the Jan. 9, 2026 special-call meeting to discuss an individual employee’s performance under the non-elected personnel exception in state law. The motion recorded in the minutes states the session was to include the Governing Body, City Administrator, City Clerk, and the Public Works Director and cited KSA 75-4319(b)(1).
According to the minutes, "Commissioner Banzet moved to recess to an Executive Session to include the Governing Body, City Administrator, City Clerk, and the Public Works Director, in the Commission Room to discuss an individual employee’s performance pursuant to the non-elected personnel matter exception KSA 75-4319(b)(1) because if this matter were discussed in open session, it might invade the privacy of those discussed." Commissioner Truelove seconded the motion and the minutes state the motion "carried."
The minutes record two subsequent extension motions: Commissioner Banzet moved to extend the executive session an additional 10 minutes (motion carried) and later moved to extend an additional 15 minutes (motion carried). The body reconvened in the Commission Room at 12:55 p.m., and the minutes state "No action taken."
The record does not list a roll-call vote, nor does it identify any formal disciplinary action or personnel decision taken in open session; the minutes reflect only motions to enter and extend the closed session and the later reconvening with no public action.
