GRAY 101994 Boaz 92 Pa-ur 394 As I mentioned on the telephone, DOL has only given us until Friday, May 13th to respond, so if you can expedite the support letter it would be greatly appreciated. If you call me at 562-0700, I can have someone pick it up at the county office. As always, it is a pleasure working with you. Thank you for your continuing support. Sincerely, ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously authorized the Chairman to sign a letter of support for the "Future Link" project. Telephone: f407156741OW BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 May 10, 1994 Nan Griggs, Executive Director - Treasure Coast Private Industry Council, Inc. 3405 N. W. Federal Highway, Suite 101 Jensen Beach, Florida 34957 Dear Ms.. Griggs: The Indian River County Board of County Commissioners has reviewed a summary of "Future Link", a pilot project serving economically disadvantaged, out-of-school youth, mostly dropouts, operated jointly by the PIC and the Indian River County School District. We wholeheartedly support funding and implementation of this project. Like many other counties, teen pregnancy/parenting, crime, substance abuse and youth unemployment are major. problems. Currently, we are unaware of any local programs as comprehensive as this one, and projects like "Future Link" are sorely needed in Indian River County if we are to curb these problems. In support of the project, we are offering to negotiate work experience and/or internships in various county departments for youths enrolled in "Future Link", open county departments to field trips, and coordinate with project staff on other ;needs which may be appropriately provided by the county. i We are pleased that Indian River County has been chosen for a pilot of this caliber. We look forward to seeing the project in operation and working with you to make it a success. Sincerply, �- John W . Tippn Chairman 24
