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

In a meeting that lasted less than five minutes, the Douglas County Commission approved with no discussion two consent agenda items associated with juvenile justice reforms the Kansas Legislature enacted this spring.

The first item was a memorandum of understanding between the county and the Kansas Department of Corrections, which allows 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.

The County Commission will next meet at 4 p.m. Nov. 30.
