Additionally, it is the intent of the General Assembly to <br />provide noninstitutional dispositional alternatives that will protect the community and the <br />juveniles. <br />These programs and services shall be planned and organized at the community level and <br />developed in partnership with the State. These planning efforts shall include appropriate <br />representation from local government, local public and private agencies serving juveniles and <br />their families, local business leaders, citizens with an interest in youth problems, youth <br />representatives, and others as may be appropriate in a particular community.
