RESOLUTION NO -74-10 ® WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, herein called the "Applicant", after thorough consideration of the ® problem and available data, has hereby determined that the project described below is in the best interests of the general public: Tlie Youth Guidance Volunteer Program is designed for children who are not yet classified as delinquent but are on the way. It is hoped that by utilizing the skills of a volunteer on a one-to-one basis, the child's needs can be met, therefore, preventing the child from having to go through with official court action and receiving a court record. With the use of the Volunteer Program the child's needs can be met by a Volunteer, diverting the child from the Juvenile Court and Division of Youth Services personnel, therefore freeing the Youth Counselor's time to provide more efficient counseling to those children that need his professional skills. and WHEREAS, under the terms of Public Law 90-351 as amended, the United States of America has authorized the Law Enforcement Assistance Ad-- ministration, d-ministration, through the Bureau of Criminal Justice Planning and Assis- tance, to make Federal Grants to assist local governments in the improve- ment of criminal justice; and WHEREAS, the Applicant has examined and duly considered such Act and the Applicant considers it to be in the public interest and to its benefit to file an application under said Act and to authorize other ac- tion in connection therewith; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, in open meeting assembled in the City of Vero Beach, Florida, the 6th day of February, 1974, as follows: 1. That the project generally described above is in the best in- terests of the Applicant and the general public. 2. That Jack G. Jennings, County Administrator, be hereby autho- rized to file in behalf of the Applicant an application In the form pre- scribed by the Bureau of Criminal Justice Planning and Assistance in con- formity with said Act, for a grant to be made to the Applicant to assist in defraying the cost of the project generally described above. -3-
