INTRODUCTION 00 <br />The Children's Services Advisory Committee Guide is to be used as the primary document that <br />contains the standards, policies, and procedures creating a unified system of planning and <br />delivery within which children's needs can be identified, targeted, addressed and evaluated by <br />the Children's Services Advisory Committee. With respect to the Guide, The Board of County <br />Commissioners will have the approval authority on its adoption and revisions. The Children's <br />Services Advisory Committee will maintain the Guide and act as an advisory committee to the <br />Board of County Commissioners. <br />The Children's Services Advisory Committee will also receive and review proposals for allocation <br />of funds for targeted children's services and make recommendations regarding funding to the <br />Board of County Commissioners. County staff will be made available at the direction of the <br />County Administrator. Although the Children's Services Advisory Committee Guide will be the <br />primary source for policy and procedural guidance, the Indian River County Comprehensive <br />Plan, as well as the Comprehensive Plans of municipalities in the County, will be used where <br />they contain goals, policies, and objectives relating to children's services. <br />1. Recommend providing and maintaining services for children as the <br />Children's Services Advisory Committee determines the needs for the general <br />well-being of the children in the county. <br />2. Collect information and statistical data, and conduct research that will be <br />helpful to the Children's Services Advisory Committee and the county in <br />deciding the needs of children in the county. <br />3. Consult, collaborate, and coordinate with other agencies dedicated to the <br />well-being of children to end duplication of services. <br />4. Recommend the allocation of funds for programs that provide services for <br />the benefit of children in the county. <br />5. Recommend standards for evidence -based, measurable outcomes within <br />the Request for Proposal, and monitor the agencies for actual performance <br />on agreed upon standards. <br />
