\"The order before you is indeed a proposed default order to be issued against Mister Jason Nickel for his failure to attend a prehearing conference,\" presenter John Myers told the commission. \"After a motion to vacate, the order will become effective. And if it becomes effective, Mister Nickel will be deemed responsible for plugging the well at issue.\"

The action came during a regularly noticed business meeting that began at 9 a.m. The commission also approved a consent agenda of 17 items and passed over one other noticed item (Document CONS3040CMSC) for further consideration at a future meeting.

Chair French called the meeting to order and led votes on the consent agenda and the default order. Commissioners voted in favor of approving the consent agenda and then voted to approve the proposed default order in Docket 25-CONS-3307-CMSC. The commission did not record roll-call names with individual yes/no attributions in the transcript; recorded responses during votes were three ‘‘Aye’’ responses for each formal approval.

Earlier in the meeting Chair French moved that the commission go into executive session \"not to exceed 20 minutes to discuss personnel matters of nonelected personnel pursuant to KSA 75-4319(b)(1) to protect the privacy of the individuals involved.\" He moved that Executive Director Celeste Chaney Tucker be included in the executive session. Commissioners approved the motion and the commission entered executive session; the commission later reconvened and the chair reported that no action was taken during the executive session.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn and unanimous voice approval.

Votes at a glance:
- Consent agenda (17 items): approved (voice votes recorded as unanimous ‘‘Aye’’ responses). Details of the 17 consent items were not specified on the public transcript.
- Docket 25-CONS-3307-CMSC (proposed default order regarding Jason Nickel): approved. The order, as described by John Myers, would become effective after a motion to vacate and, if effective, would deem Jason Nickel responsible for plugging the well at issue.
- Motion to enter executive session under KSA 75-4319(b)(1) to discuss nonelected personnel (20 minutes): approved; commission reconvened and reported no action taken.

The record does not show named speakers making individual aye/no vote attributions during the roll calls; the transcript records collective voice votes.
