Commission makes juvenile intake on‑call positions 'evergreen' to ease coverage gaps

Megan Lewis of Riley County Community Corrections asked the commission to approve hiring additional part‑time, on‑call juvenile intake and assessment officers to cover the 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. shifts, and to designate the role as "evergreen" so the department can keep recruitment open continuously. Lewis said the roster had fallen from 6–8 individuals to five available staff and that unexpected resignations and reduced hours created recurring coverage challenges; commissioners approved the request to add staff and make the posting evergreen.
