The Douglas County commission meets in the historic courtroom on the second floor of the old county courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St.

The Douglas County Commission at its weekly meeting will consider a pair of juvenile justice matters.

On the consent agenda are two items associated with juvenile justice reforms the Kansas Legislature enacted this spring. One item is an agreement between the county and the Kansas Department of Corrections that will allow the county to use a program to create alternate placements for certain moderate-to-high risk juvenile offenders and for those being released from state correctional facilities.

The second measure provides $250,000 in state grant funding for the first six months of 2017. Douglas County District Court is to use the funds to implement new juvenile justice practices.

County commissioners meet at 4 p.m. on Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse. The County Commission will not meet Nov. 23. Its next scheduled meeting is 4 p.m. on Nov. 30.
