WHEREAS, the Board of County Commisssioners 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:
The 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 Administration, through
the Bureau of Criminal Justice Planning and Assistance,
to make Federal Grants to assist local governments in
the improvement of criminal justice; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has examined and duly con-
sidered 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 action in connection
therewith;
