Near the end of the Jan. 6 meeting the council voted to go into executive session three times under K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(1) to discuss terms and conditions of employment for nonelected personnel. The first session referenced retaining City Clerk Lana Smith, the second referenced retaining Public Works Superintendent Caleb Ironsyde, and the third was a personnel session with no further identifying detail recorded in the minutes. Each session concluded at the announced time and the minutes state 'no decisions were made.'

The Kansas statute cited (K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(1)) permits governing bodies to hold closed sessions for certain personnel matters; the minutes record only that sessions occurred and that there were no decisions announced when the meeting resumed.
