® 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
