i FA6E lab <br />13.D. CHILDREN'S SERVICES NETWORK <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of June 17, 1997 and a copy of an article which appeared <br />in the Press Journal on June 1st 1997: <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Commissioner Caroline D. Ginn <br />DATE: June 17,1997 <br />SUBJECT: Children's Services Network <br />A constituent made an inquiry regarding appointments to the Children's Services Network <br />Advisory Board. He mentioned the qualifications necessary as published in the Press Journal on <br />June 1, 1997 (see attached.) <br />As I could recall only the 24 month residency requirement prior to nomination, I asked <br />Assistant County Attorney Terrance O'Brien to research the issue. His conclusion: The <br />qualifications as listed in the Press Journal do not exist in either the Ordinance or the Guidelines. <br />Hopefully, airing this at a Commission meeting will serve to correct this erroneous and <br />misleading information. <br />Children's Group <br />Seeks Volunteers <br />The newly formed Children's <br />services Network, an advisory <br />board to the Indian River County <br />Commission, is looking for seven <br />members. <br />Applicants who have lived in <br />the county for at least 24 months <br />can send a resume to the commis- <br />sioners at 1840 25th $I..
