Summary

The commission moved into a 15-minute executive session to review applications for the Emergency Management Director position, citing the employer/employee exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Act; the session included County Clerk Tammi Cox and returned with no immediate action reported.

County Clerk Tammi Cox told the commission there were applications for the Emergency Management Director position and moved "to move to executive session under the employer/employee exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Act to discuss applications for the Emergency Management Director position for 15 minutes to return at 10:03 a.m. to the Commissioner's Room with Tammi Cox, County Clerk." The motion passed 3-0.

The transcript records that no public action was taken immediately after the executive session. Because the matter was handled under the employer/employee exception, commissioners discussed candidate review in private and directed staff to continue the personnel process as permitted by law.
