BYLAWS CHANGE PROPOSAL: Robert Bieniecki
Bieniecki reviewed proposed new wording with the council in attendance which included crossing out the goal statement because the purpose of the council covers the goals. New language was added regarding values and beliefs, an annual review, as well as a strategic plan with goals. Bieniecki plans to distribute proposed changes in the next few weeks and to vote on revised language at the January meeting.
Discussion included visiting the idea of adding to the council membership, adding previous members as non-voting members to help transition new members, and that the County Commission should have the ability to review the bylaws as they created the CJCC.
STRATEGIC PLAN DRAFT- Robert Bieniecki
Bieniecki suggested publishing the Strategic Plan on the County website. He would also like to see the council agree on the seven goals (included in the meeting packet). No one at the meeting disagreed.
Discussion included: adding language for a goal of reducing the number of people incarcerated with behavioral health issues, language related to Juvenile Justice Reform and how it relates to mandates.
KANSAS LEADERSHIP CENTER GRANT - Robert Bieniecki
Bieniecki stated the Kansas Leadership Center Grant covers 40 positions for training in Wichita and some in Kansas City. The training cost is covered, but the travel and lodging costs are not. He wants anyone interested to take advantage of this program which includes three courses: Lead for change (2 sessions); You Lead Now; and Equip to Lead. Lori Alvarado will help recruit attendees.
NEW BUSINESS/DISCUSSION - Pam Weigand
- There was discussion on upcoming meetings for 2019. Tuesday appears to be the most favorable days for the judges. There were no suggested date changes
- There will be a December 17 meeting with the Council State Government (CSG) to look at data. This will be a combined presentation with the work group and council. Bieniecki will put out a membership invite
- We are looking at using the Dreher Building on the Douglas County Fairgrounds for some of the upcoming meetings with lunch provided
- Branson stated the Supreme Court has established a committee to look at pretrial issues which includes Branson and local attorney Todd Thompson. The working group will have an 18 month charge and will make recommendations for the State to adopt. The first meeting has not been scheduled yet. It will be great having Douglas County representation on this committee
