  • 2016-2017 PDF Annual Report
    2016-2017 COLUMBIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ANNUAL REPORT Engaging Business for Community Excellence Letter from the Chair Where does the time go? It just seemed like yesterday, I was nervous and anxious about starting my year role as the Chair of the Chamber Board of Directors. Now, I am sad at the thought of my year winding down and coming to an end. After thinking about all that we accomplished over the past year, I have a smile on my face. I look forward to handing the reins off to David Nivens, as Chamber Chair, and Susan Hart as Chair-Elect. Over the past year a considerable amount of energy was spent on continuing to strengthen the core base of the organization with many behind the scenes initiatives that were planted by my predecessor, Kit Stolen. It began with the implementation of a new database system that would give Chamber staff and membership a more robust and modern system. With the addition of the new database, the Chamber needed to update and enhance our website. Thanks to the Evoke Group, the Chamber now has a modern, usable, and effective website that is linked to our database system. In the future, you will continue to see many benefits of our new database and website being utilized by the organization. The last big piece of the organization that we focused on was the Chamber’s membership structure, and the roll out of the new Tiered Dues Membership. The old membership structure was more of a punitive system, in that we punished our members’ success by increasing their fees as their organization prospered.

    COMPREHENSIVE PLAN July 26, 2018 _______________________________________ Centralia Comprehensive Plan 2025 Page 1 STATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTORS Planning and Zoning Chairman H. LeeAllen Smith I believe that this document should be treated as an ongoing process. It lays out the general direction that the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the committees that have spent their time and energy to develop, believe is the proper direction. Things will change as the city grows and this document is not set in stone, changes in various parts are imminent. As a former Alderman, I feel that it is vital that every member of the Centralia Board of Alderman, current and newly elected, Planning and Zoning Commission, the Park Director, and city department foremen, should read The Centralia Comprehensive Plan 2025 so they will have a general idea as to the direction the city should be moving in future growth and a better understanding of why this direction is important. I would also like to personally thank everyone for their hard work on this plan.

  • Expanding Public Transit in Columbia, Missouri a Health Impact Assessment
    Expanding Public Transit in Columbia, Missouri A Health Impact Assessment prepared by the HIA Partner Team Transit Expansion HIA 1 Funding for this project provided by December 2012 Transit Expansion HIA 2 Executive Summary Background Policies and programs from domains such as transportation, planning, and education influence health and well-being. Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is an evidence-based research tool used to inform decision-makers about the potential health risks and benefits of policies, programs, and projects outside the health sector. HIA first identifies potential health effects and their likely distribution within the population. HIA then makes recommendations for how a proposed program or policy might be altered to increase positive and decrease negative health outcomes. Increased student ridership, budget cuts, and rising fuel costs have stressed the current Columbia Transit system. In response to these challenges, several potential mechanisms have been proposed to increase funding and allow for expansion of bus services in Columbia. In light of these policy discussions, the Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services partnered with the PedNet Coalition and Central Missouri Community Action in late 2011 to perform an HIA on the health effects of expanding and improving bus service in Columbia. Funding was provided by grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Missouri Foundation for Health. The study introduces consideration of health effects and their distribution within the population to the ongoing conversation on the benefits of public transit to our community. December 2012 Transit Expansion HIA 3 Project Goals The core goals of the HIA project were to: Assess potential health effects of expanding public transit in Columbia.
