HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Board of County Commissioners has a light agenda scheduled for its Tuesday morning meeting.

The county plans a COVID-19 update from Interim County Health Officer Karen Hammersmith and Emergency Management Director Adam Weishaar. The county will then pay its bills and approve minutes from previous meetings. Commissioners are also set to approve the Community Corrections Kansas Department of Corrections Juvenile Services Reinvestment Grant Application.

Also, the county plans to issue a proclamation declaring Reno County as a Stepping Up Innovator County. Stepping Up is highlighting counties from around the country for their ability to accurately identify people in their jails who have serious mental illness , collect and share data on these individuals to better connect them to treatment and services, and use this information to inform local policies and practices.

The Board will also receive a report from County Administrator Randy Partington. The meeting begins at 9 a.m. Tuesday at the Reno County Courthouse.
