RESOLUTION NO -74-10 <br />WtfEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, <br />Florida, herein called the "Applicant", after thorough consideration of the <br />problem and available data, has hereby determined that the project described <br />below is in the best interests of the general public: <br />The Youth Guidance Volunteer Program is designed for children <br />who are not yet classified as delinquent but are on the way. ! <br />It is hoped that by utilizing the skills of a volunteer on a <br />one-to-one basis, the child's needs can be met, therefore, <br />preventing the child from having to go through with official <br />court action and receiving a court record. <br />With the use of the Volunteer Program the child's needs can <br />be met by a Volunteer, diverting the child from the Juvenile <br />Court and Division of Youth Services personnel, therefore <br />freeing the Youth Counselor's time to provide more efficient <br />counseling to those children that need his professional skills. <br />and <br />WHEREAS, under the terms of Public Law 90-351 as amended, the <br />United States of America has authorized the Law Enforcement Assistance Ad- <br />ministration, through the Bureau of Criminal Justice Planning and Assis- <br />tance, to make Federal Grants to assist local governments in the improve- <br />ment of criminal justice; and <br />WHEREAS, the Applicant has examined and duly considered such Act <br />and the Applicant considers it to be in the public interest and to its <br />benefit to file an application under said Act and to authorize other ac- <br />tion in connection therewith; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners <br />-of Indian River County, Florida, in open meeting assembled in the City of <br />Vero Beach, Florida, the.6th day of February, 1974, as follows: <br />.1.
