Commissioners enter executive session over Thresher Wind Project CUP proposal

Seward County commissioners voted unanimously to go into an executive session for attorney–client consultation about the Thresher Wind Project conditional use permit (CUP) proposal. A commissioner moved "I move for the County Commission to enter to Executive Session," specifying the purpose as attorney–client privilege legal consultation regarding the Thresher Wind Project CUP proposal; the motion was seconded and recorded as passing 5-0.

The motion named participants to attend the closed session, including the county attorney (recorded in the transcript as Trish Voth) and county administration staff (Brock Feiner; April Warden was mentioned though the transcript notes April "wasn't here"). The caller of the motion stated an intended duration of 45 minutes and read aloud a statutory citation for the executive-session authority (transcript citation variants noted below). The commission later restated the return time as 05:10. After reconvening the Chair said, "No action taken."
