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 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 action 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 21st day of July, as follows: ® 1.
