Ellis County holds two executive sessions on potential litigation and a solar project; no public action
Summary
The commission recessed twice into attorney–client executive sessions—first on potential litigation (15 minutes) and then on a potential solar project (60 minutes, with additional private participants added). Both sessions ended with no action taken publicly.
The Board of Ellis County Commissioners recessed into executive session twice during its May 5 meeting under the attorney–client exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Act.
The first session, scheduled for 15 minutes, addressed potential litigation and included the board, County Counselor Bill Jeter, Sheriff Scott Braun and County Administrator Darin Myers; it ran from about 8:55 a.m. to 9:10 a.m. The second session was a 60-minute attorney–client session to discuss a potential solar project; attendees listed in the minutes included Environmental Director Justin Craig, Trish Voth (identified in the transcript as 'Foulson Law firm'), County Counselor Bill Jeter, and County Administrator Darin Myers. The board amended the motion to add Oleg Alba with Acre Strong to the second session. That session began around 9:15 a.m. and ended about 10:15 a.m. The minutes record that no public action followed either executive session.
Because the sessions were held under the attorney–client exception, no substantive deliberations from those closed sessions were reported publicly in the meeting minutes.
