KCC approves consent agenda, enters 40-minute executive session for cybersecurity update

The Kansas Corporation Commission opened its regular business meeting on Nov. 25, approved a 29-item consent agenda and two procedural orders, moved into a 40-minute executive session for a cybersecurity briefing and then adjourned after reconvening with no action taken.

Chair French called the meeting to order and noted the agenda included a consent agenda of 29 items, two noticed dockets, and a planned executive session for a cybersecurity update from KGS. Commissioners asked no questions about the consent agenda; one commissioner moved approval and another seconded. The commission recorded unanimous 'aye' votes and approved the consent agenda.

After completing the noticed items, Chair French moved that the commission enter executive session for up to 40 minutes to discuss security matters under KSA 75 43 19 b 12 and named staff and outside guests to be included in the session. Chair French set the initial executive session time to 40 minutes (with possible extension). The commission recessed for the executive session and reconvened as scheduled; Chair French stated no action had been taken while in executive session.

With all business concluded, a commissioner moved to adjourn; the motion carried unanimously. Commissioners exchanged brief closing remarks, including Thanksgiving greetings, and the meeting ended.
