An investigation by the Kansas Attorney General’s Office found that county commissioners committed a technical violation of an open meetings law by failing to include the location of a special meeting in a notice of the meeting.
That is according to two letters sent from Assistant Attorney General Lisa Mendoza to county officials. Mendoza is the director of the Open Government Enforcement Unit of the Attorney General’s Office.
The investigation was initiated by the Attorney General’s Office after County Treasurer Janice Van Parys filed a complaint last year about possible violations of the Kansas Open Meetings Act.
Van Parys’ complaint focused on several actions taken by county commissioners in 2016.
Based on the findings of the Attorney General’s Office, no formal enforcement action is being taken.
