Book excerpt: K.S.A. 75-4318 permits a city's grievance committee to deliberate on the disposition of an individual employee's grievance matter outside of an open meeting because such a grievance committee, while otherwise subject to the KOMA, is acting in a quasi-judicial manner within the scope of authority of that committee. Prior to such deliberations, K.S.A. 75-4319 permits the grievance committee to recess from an open meeting into a closed or executive session for the purpose of discussing personnel matters of non-elected personnel, and thus, employment related grievances of individual employees of the city may discretionarily be discussed in a properly recessed executive or closed session. Individuals who aid the committee in such a discussion may be discretionarily permitted into such a closed or executive session. However, binding decisions by the committee must be made in an open meeting. Cited herein: K.S.A. 13-527; 13-2101; 75-4317; 75-4317a; 75-4318; 75-4319; Kan. Const., Art. 5, section 12.
