Resolution 104-1974
RESOLUTION NO. 104-1974
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County,
Florida, herein called the "Applicant," after thorough consider-
ation 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 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, there-
fore, 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 Enforce-
ment Assistance Administration, through the Florida Governor'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;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMJ-,1!-
