Resolution 038-1973
RESOLUTION NO. 38-1973
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County,
Florida, herein called the lIApplicant", after thorough consideration of the
problem and available data, has hereby determined that the project de-
scribed below is in the best interests of the general public:
The Youth Guidance Volunteer Program is designed for child-
ren 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 I 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 Florida Governor I s Council on Criminal Justice,
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;
