Dear Mayor Supron:
Enclosed are copies of the 201-5 annual report for the Joint Youth Commission (JYC). The JYC serves
youth in the Towns of lthaca and Caroline and Villages of Cayuga Heights and Lansing as part of the
Municipal Youth Services System which is coordinated through my office. The JYC supports four youth
programs which are described inside the annual report.
Last year, 290 totalyouth were served. This includes 30 from the Village of Caluga Heights. The annual
report shows the youth from your village as part of the greater Town of lthaca but I thought you might
be interested in the specific number of your youth.
One other recent highlight is that our youth representative on the JYC, Jonathan Gomes Selman who
resides in the Village of Caygua Heights, was honored in March by the Tompkins County Legislature with
theDistinguishedYouthAward. Hehasbeenavaluedcommissionmemberforthreeyearsandwewill
misshimnowthatheisofftocollege. Beforeheleft,herecruitedanewyouthrepresentative,ayoung
woman who also resides in Cayuga Heights. We expect her appointment to be finalized in the next few
months.
Finally, the JYC has a vacancy for one more representative of either the Town of Jf haca or Village of
CayugaHeights. lfyouknowofsomeonewhomightbeinterestedinservingorl6arningmore,ptease
