Allegany County Youth Bureau earns praise

This is from the draft meeting minutes of the Resource Management Committee held Feb. 15.
Youth Bureau:

Monthly Report
Youth Bureau Director Linda Edwards pre-filed her monthly report.  Ms. Edwards wanted to highlight a couple of items on her monthly report under the “OCFS billing.”  They have paid all of their agencies, resubmitted for reimbursement, and we are at a zero balance, so we received all of our money from New York State.  At their January conference call, we were recognized as one of the eight counties that had a zero balance for 2016.
Ms. Edwards wanted to read an email she received from Youth Development Specialist Crystal Jones from the Office of Children and Family Services, it read “I have just reviewed your county plan, and I just wanted to personally tell you what a superb job you have done.  Your plan is so detailed and really demonstrated how you are utilizing all resources to promote positive youth development.”
