This Work Program will be based upon a 50% reimbursement from the State and the other 50% to come from the employers. Children in this program are not to know that their job has been arranged before hand. In view of the willingness of the Chief of Police to cooperate with this new Council,. add at the suggestion of Mr. Lincoln Daniels of the New York State Youth Commission, the Youth Bureau Advisory Council Executive Committee has unanimously recommended making the Police Chief a member of the Youth Bureau Advisory Council.

The Advisory Council members present were obviously in favor of this amendment which will be presented for action at the next monthly meeting. Some discussion took place regarding the status of the Youth and Recreation Relations Committee of the Common Council as members of the Youth Bureau- Advisory Council. It was generally agreed that this problem should be further clarified sometime in the near future. The Director emphasized that information regarding the formation of this Council, the Work Program and the appointment of the Police Chief, is to be treated by the Advisory Council members as confiden- tial information and should not be made public at this time. Mr. Hill passed out a mimeographed Statement of Policy regarding purchasing, publicity, bank accounts, billing and financial reports to be adopted when Youth Bureau projects are sponsored by cooperating organizations. Mr. Pierce moved this Statement of Policy be adopted. The motion was seconded by Judge Stagg. Carried.
