During the regular meeting the Unified Government Commission moved to go into executive session multiple times under the Kansas Open Meetings Act. The motions specified the purpose (personnel matters concerning nonelected personnel or consultation with attorneys on possible claims or litigation), who would attend and where the sessions would be held. Each motion was approved by roll call and included return times to open session.
Commissioner Melissa Bynum moved for executive session to discuss current and future executive positions with named staff and counsel present; later motions extended the executive session to consult with counsel on possible claims or litigation and specified outside counsel and the acting county administrator as participants. After returning to open session the commission moved to adjourn.
