Gregg has decided not to run for re-election. Gregg joined the CA Board in May 2009 and has been involved in many decisions which improved CA and Columbia. Ten years is a long time to serve on a board and represents many hours of dedicated service to CA and Columbia. April 2019 Office of the President/CEO The President/CEO was one of several guest speakers at the Wilde Lake High School National Honor Society Leadership and Service Program on Tuesday, 2 April. Other guest speakers were Howard County Executive Dr. Calvin Ball; The Howard Hughes President for Columbia Greg Fitchitt; Inner Arbor Trust President & CEO Nina Basu; Downtown Columbia Arts and Culture Commission Executive Director Ian Kennedy; Merriweather Post Pavilion General Manager Jean Parker; Downtown Columbia Partnership Executive Director Phillip Dodge; and Blossoms of Hope Board of Directors Chairman Joe Barbera. The President/CEO gave a short overview of Columbia Association and the services it provides to the community. The President/CEO was one of three individuals invited by the Howard County Chamber’s Young Professionals Network to participate in a panel discussion entitled “At the Top of Their Game: Getting to Know Howard County’s Business Leadership” on Wednesday, 3 April. The President/CEO joined Dr. Kate Hetherington, president, Howard Community College and Ms. Kimberly Prescott, principal consultant, Prescott Consulting in discussing topics such as the most important decisions made as a leader of an organization, one characteristic every leader should possess, what to do to ensure continued growth and development as a leader, and the best piece of advice received from a mentor. The President/CEO attended a Howard County Industry Breakfast sponsored by HealthCare Access Maryland on Thursday, 11 April. The purpose of the event was to acquaint Howard County businesses with HealthCare Access Maryland, a nonprofit agency connecting residents to public health coverage and helping them navigate services effectively. Columbia was named one of the Best Cities To Live in America, according to data analysis company Niche, which ranked Columbia 8th out of 228 cities evaluated on factors such as cost of living, housing, public schools, diversity, crime and safety, jobs, health and fitness, commute times, and more. Columbia received high marks for its public schools and diversity, as well as its family friendliness, which was determined based on access to parks, libraries, cultural events, and family-oriented amenities. 1 Administrative Services Highlights The Accounting team completed the FY 2020 budget document, which has been posted on CA's website and distributed to the community. Much of the organization is actively working on the implementation of Ceridian's Dayforce product, the new cloud-based Human Resources (HR), payroll and talent management system that will integrate payroll, time and attendance, scheduling, HR, and learning in one seamless application. This significant change in our organization will eliminate most paper processes, as time and attendance, payroll, HR, and learning will be done online. The go-live date for using the time and attendance module and other aspects of the system will be 10 June, with the issuance of the first payroll checks through Dayforce scheduled for 5 July. The project is going well, and we are getting positive feedback from the Dayforce project team regarding schedule and quality of work. Challenges The period from 1 May through 9 June will be an intensive training and orientation period for the entire organization to ensure that team leaders and other team members are proficient in the use of Dayforce and the tools the system provides. In addition, that same time period is critical in the processes of closing CA's financial books, producing the FY 2019 financial statements and preparing for the annual independent audits. It is also the kick-off of the outdoor pool season and other summer activities. The annual commercial insurance renewal process is underway, and initial results indicate significant increases in several categories of insurance premiums, along with proposed increases in retention in some cases as well. Opportunities Dayforce should provide our team leaders and other team members with more time to focus on serving community stakeholders, and will facilitate greater productivity across the organization. Sport and Fitness Highlights Tennis Opening day of the Spring Junior Team Tennis Program was Saturday, 13 April. Approximately 70 Junior Member tennis players participated in the event, which was also attended by about 100 spectators. The weekly team event is comprised of both singles and doubles teams. Columbia Ice Rink Columbia Figure Skating Club’s four Star Wars shows held the weekend of 23-24 March were sold out. Total attendance for the four shows was estimated at 1,500. Golf A new golf league for young professionals debuted at Hobbit’s Glen Golf Club on 8 April. The “Young Exec Association @ Hobbit's” (Y.E.A.H.) was inspired by the 39 & younger Junior Exec 2 golf membership opportunity, but is open to men and women 49 & younger. Y.E.A.H. features nine holes of friendly competition on Monday nights, starting with a 5:30 p.m. shotgun. Challenges We are currently working to make the Guest Pass (purchased)/Guest Visit (provided as a membership benefit) more seamless for the members and staff. Opportunities With CA’s summer season beginning shortly, the pools and SportsPark will be opening, providing a tremendous opportunity to increase our resident participation. Planning and Community Affairs Opportunities Columbia Association has been invited to be part of the Complete Streets Implementation Team where we will contribute to the drafting of Howard County’s first Complete Streets Policy and creating a Complete Streets and Bridges Design Manual. The original draft policy was developed in 2017 and is being updated in 2019 to reflect current best practices. Discussion and outreach efforts are underway to ensure the County’s transportation policies result in streets designed to serve a variety of users and their unique needs.

  • Village Center Master Plan Fall 2011 Master Plan Committee Members Paul A
    Long Reach Community Association 8775 Cloudleap Court Columbia MD 21045 410/730-8113 410/730-5882 FAX [email protected] Village Center Master Plan Fall 2011 Master Plan Committee Members Paul A. Bernard Edward T. Coleman Henry F. Dagenais James P. Howard II Long Reach Board of Directors Karen S. Hitcho, Chair Josh Friedman, Vice Chair Nina Basu William A. Taylor Matthew Watchinski This report is meant to be used as a guide. Our master plan covers only our vision. It is premature to put in details of a design plan when there is no redevelopment in the near future. We would want a design that is current with the industry standards and meets the needs of the community at the time when we are actually working with a redevelopment of the village center. The Purpose Of This Report The Howard County Council amended its developmental regulations and passed Council Bill 29-2009 which allows each village to develop a Village Center Community Plan. In addition, CB 29-2009 allows the owner of any portion of a village center in the New Town zoning district to petition to amend certain approved development plans for the owners’ properties and establishes public notice, information, and justification requirements for such petition. It also establishes standards to be used by the Zoning Board in evaluating and considering these petitions. This regulation defines a village center as a mixed-use development in the New Town district that is designed to be a “community focal point and gathering place for the surrounding village neighborhoods.” This plan is intended to provide guidance from the Village of Long Reach to the County and developers on the vision and planning concepts that are desired by the Long Reach Community Association as the village area changes over time.

P R O G R A M N O T E S JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685–1750) BRANDENBURG CONCERTO No. 3 in G MAJOR, BWV 1048 Composed: 1717 Premiered: Weimar, Germany, 1717 The six concerti grossi that Bach pulled from a drawer and sent to the Margrave of Brandenburg appended to a job application in 1727 are certainly masterpieces, but they also show us the less attractive side of Bach’s personality, as he blatantly tried to pass them off as new works written specially for the Margrave. The Margrave saw clean through the ruse, and ignored both the application and the gift. The Margrave realized that the soloists required by the Concerti were exactly those of Bach’s existing band at Cöthen; despite Bach’s flashy French dedication offering the new works to him, this was old stuff. In the case of the Third Concerto, for strings alone, it was very old stuff, as it dated back to Bach’s time at Weimar, ten years previously.
