On July 20 the commission recessed into executive session to consult with legal counsel about potential litigation under the Attorney–Client Privilege Exception of Kansas law. Commissioner Bill Drew moved to recess to executive session beginning at 9:17 a.m. for up to 10 minutes under K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(2); Commissioner Deloyce McKee seconded and the motion carried 4-0. The minutes list others in attendance during the session as County Administrator Chad Kinsley and County Counselor Bernard Irvine. The regular meeting resumed at 9:27 a.m., and the minutes state that no action was taken as a result of the session.

Because the topic was discussed under the attorney–client privilege exemption, the minutes do not provide details of the matters discussed.
