M
CA’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for people living and working in Columbia, and one of the ways to do that is to provide facilities and programs that help people get in shape and have fun so they can feel and look awesome! Group Fitness Programs/Classes As you may already know, CA has three fitness facilities: Columbia Athletic Club, Columbia Gym and Supreme Sports Club. Each offers group fitness classes that give members a chance to socialize while participating in an exercise class taught by certified instructors. Classes range from basic aerobics to hip-hop dancing to kick boxing. And if you prefer something a little more low key, CA also has mind/body classes to relax you and get you in shape. In addition to yoga offerings, there are tai chi and Qigong (a less complex form of tai chi) classes. There are also some boot camp programs, aquatics programs and classes geared toward residents age 55 and over.
Wellness Programs CA also offers wellness programs. There’s Columbia Optimal Health, a program focusing on exercise, nutrition and behavioral health; Fit Beginnings, a program focusing on exercise; WINN, an exercise program for mature adults ages 45 and older; and Columbia YouthFit, a program focusing on creating healthy families. Call 410-715-3128 for more information. Community Amenities CA provides several amenities to the Columbia community including pathways, tot lots, parks, picnic pavilions, basketball and tennis courts, and golf courses for residents and members to enjoy.

Finance Report
for FY2014
Released by CA
Quarter Organization-wide Summary Columbia Association (CA) finished the second quarter of FY 2014 with financial results $911,000 (or 5 percent) more than the amount budgeted, but $211,000 less than the same period in FY 2013. Total income of $49.3 million was slightly less than what was budgeted for the period, and essentially the same as compared to the same period in FY 13. Total operating expenses of $30.2 million were 4.8 percent less than the amount budgeted, and $476,000, or 1.6 percent, higher than the amount spent in the same period in FY 13. We project finishing FY 14 with an increase in net assets of approximately $3.5 million. During the second quarter, the Finance team restructured and formatted the quarterly Board Report and financial statements, with the underlying changes in the chart of accounts and subsidiary systems, to accurately reflect the new organizational structure. In addition, the Finance team is both leading and supporting the beginning of the twoyear budget process for fiscal years 2015 and 2016. The Purchasing team continues to actively support major projects such as the new wellness facility construction, the Hobbit’s Glen Golf Club Clubhouse, major pond reconstruction projects, etc., as well as acting as contract administrators for projects throughout the organization. Community Building and Open Space The Community Building and Open Space Service Bureau consists of Open Space Management and Community Building, and includes the functions and divisions of 2 C A M O N T H LY
Landscape Services, Capital Improvements, Community Planning, Watershed Management, Open Space Management Administration, Land Maintenance, Fleet Maintenance and RV Park. Noteworthy accomplishments during the second quarter include substantial completioan of the Columbia DogPark; implementation of the first pathway signage pilot project in Wilde Lake and Town Center; an award of $505,000 in grants from the State of Maryland for watershed management projects; completion of the restoration of the Patriot Lane Pond in Oakland Mills and Homespun Pond in Owen Brown; completion of numerous Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements at CA facility parking lots; development of a maintenance program for plantings in the water quality retrofit facilities constructed to date; event support; initial training for the Weed Warrior program; start-up of the Columbia Market Analysis study; and continuation of monitoring the planning and development initiatives in Columbia and updating the “Planning and Development Tracker.” The service bureau ended the second quarter $1.2 million under budget, which are positive results due to a combination of greater than budgeted revenue and lower than budgeted spending.
Community Services The Community Services Division finished the second quarter $133,000 favorably, with actual results less than what was budgeted. The positive variance is primarily due to savings in operating supplies, rentals, repair and maintenance and smaller savings throughout most of the expense lines. Some highlights of the second quarter include: the Summer Lakefront Festival attracting crowds of 400-500 people per movie night; School Age Services continuing to develop programs to combat childhood obesity; the International Exchange and Multicultural programs having a successful cuisine exchange with 17 participants from CergyPontoise, France; the World Languages Cafe´s being held monthly with more than 100 participants each time; and the recent Ghana Fest activity, held to celebrate CA’s new relationship with Tema, Ghana, attracting more than 700 people. The annual charge amount of $2,834,000 provides support to village associations to fund village elections, covenant enforcement personnel, village board activities, community building maintenance and community-building programs and services that residents enjoy in the community centers. Sales and Marketing CA’s Sales and Marketing team continues to sell and promote memberships and programs. Some of the highlights that will be the focus of winter 2014 efforts include: • In September, the launch of the mobile app highlighting CA pathways and facilities was successful. Through the end of the second quarter, we had approximately 1,900 downloads. • We are developing ADA signage for all CA facilities and parking lots, as well as updating interior and exterior signs. • We established a branding work team to expand CA’s brand beyond Marketing. • We promoted golf and CA memberships via ESPN Radio during NFL Kickoff and US Open and Masters Tournament. • The 6-Class Pass was promoted in Beacon Newspaper, Howard County Senior Resource guide, The Baltimore Sun’s Special “Social Security Guide” and the 50+ Expo Program Guide. • CA was awarded “Partner of the Year”
by Howard County Tourism for our efforts to promote CA facilities, programs, and our golf partner marketing. We partnered with Howard County Tourism to promote golf clubs and Columbia SportsPark, provided marketing support to Get Active Howard County and Family Wellness Day and coordinated our 50+ Expo exposure through the Howard County Office on Aging. Sport and Fitness A number of new programs and highlights occurred during the first two quarters of FY 2014, including the opening of the 23 outdoor pools on Memorial Day weekend; hosting the annual KidsDay at Hopewell Pool; participating in the “World’s Largest Swim Lesson” and “Goggles for Guppies”; offering inexpensive lessons and safety training through the “Columbia Swims” program, with 124 participants; hosting the summer Kidz Triathlon, with more than 600 participants; offering the Columbia Neighborhood Swim League to more than 2,400 participants with 14 teams; launching the special 6-Class Pass for active adults ages 65 and older; offering group fitness outreach sessions to various senior centers in Columbia and the library to offer classes and programs; launching the new group fitness programs in the pavilion at Stevens Forest Pool; Beta testing a new, medically-based “BOOM” program that allows participants to optimize their ability to increase lean body mass and methodically burn fat; hosting a new skateboarding competition at the Columbia SkatePark; offering First Tee programs with more than 700 participants; and hosting the return of the “Rock Your Jeans” fitness program at Supreme Sports Club. The division completed the period under budget, due mainly to two items: the timing of the payment of tickets for resale and Package Plan membership income. The Package Plan membership income is currently expected to end the year approximately the same as FY 2013, but 3 percent less than what was budgeted. It is expected that the Sport and Fitness Division will finish the year with financial results that are lower than what was budgeted.

PLAN FOR SERVING COMPREHENSIVE
OLDER ADULTS
FOR MORE THAN A year, a Columbia Association (CA) work team has been developing a Comprehensive Plan for Serving the Older Adult Community. Now the work team is getting ready to release its draft plan recommendations — and is seeking the community’s feedback. A pair of public meetings will be held on Monday, Jan. 13, at Slayton House, which is located at 10400 Cross Fox Lane in the Wilde Lake Village Center. The
first session will be held from 10 a.m. to noon, while the second session is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m.; meeting content will be the same at both sessions. An inclement weather day has been set for Tuesday, Jan. 14, at the same times. These meetings will review and discuss with the community the plan process, findings and draft recommendations. The presentations will be followed by a questionand-answer period. CA
The 10 villages in Columbia will be participating in a week of service from Jan. 2024. Each village will be hosting a different event during the week in conjunction with the Howard County Office of Human Rights MLK Holiday Commission’s “Day of Service” in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Visit ColumbiaVillages.org and contact your local village community association for exact times and locations.
staff also will prepare a comment sheet to gather ideas and suggestions from participants. Following these meetings, CA will prepare a revised draft that will be reviewed for approval by the CA Board of Directors. Over the course of this project, CA has used a number of different tactics to identify older adults’ needs in Columbia. The community input has included public meetings and small group
discussions, an intercept survey of older adults in Columbia, benchmarking interviews with experts around the country and a statistically valid telephone survey of the older adult community. In addition, CA staff reviewed a number of recent studies, surveys and reports that also address the needs and desires of the older adult community. For additional information, please visit ColumbiaAssociation.org/ OlderAdults.

Columbia Village Elections Coming Up in April
WHAT’S YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION?
By Aria White Connor
HERE IN COLUMBIA, the village elections are coming up in a few months. Each of the 10 villages in Columbia has a village board that regulates the village’s covenants, organizes activities for residents and determines the architectural guidelines for the village neighborhoods. In addition, each village also elects one Columbia Council representative to serve as a member of the Columbia Association (CA) Board of Directors. Elections will be held on Saturday, April 26 in each village. Election times and locations vary; visit ColumbiaVillages.org and contact your local village for election times. Columbia Villages The village community associations around Columbia each play an important role in the community. The village boards direct the business affairs of the village community association, so if there’s something you’d like to see more of in your village, or an issue that you want solved, be sure to vote or run for a position on the board yourself. Columbia Council, a.k.a CA Board of Directors Elections are also being held for the Columbia Council (CA Board), made up of one representative from each village. The board reviews policies and budget matters, develops strategic initiatives for the association, addresses community issues and appoints the CA president. Since the CA Board is the governing body of CA, it’s essential that residents have a say in who sits on the board. Visit ColumbiaAssociation.org/LeadershipOpportunities to learn about additional volunteer and leadership opportunities with CA.

Looking Back on a Year of Energy Efficiency and Sustainability By Jeremy Scharfenberg
COLUMBIA ASSOCIATION (CA) HAD A VERY BUSY FIRST year as an ENERGY STAR Partner with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). CA worked aggressively to implement energy efficiency upgrades in numerous facilities and also worked to communicate the benefits of ENERGY STAR programs to the community. Effective energy management is an important way to lower utility costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve overall sustainability. CA is continually looking for opportunities to improve the energy efficiency of its operations through equipment upgrades and optimizing how existing equipment is used. Efforts undertaken by CA include: • Replacing of metal halide light fixtures with high-efficiency fluorescent fixtures in the arenas at Columbia Athletic Club, Columbia Gym and Supreme Sports Club – reducing energy consumption by 50 percent and decreasing annual operating costs by more than $25,000. • Installing more than 1,000 energy-efficient lamps at the fitness facilities, Columbia Swim Center and Owen Brown Tennis Bubble – reducing energy consumption for lighting by 22 to 50 percent. • Installing high-efficiency condensing boilers and on-demand water heaters at several pools and Stonehouse. • Conducting energy audits at Columbia Art Center, Stonehouse and several neighborhood centers. • Improving operating practices to ensure equipment is operated efficiently and that energy consuming devices and equipment are turned off when not needed. • Designing new facilities, such as the Hobbit’s Glen Golf Club Clubhouse and the downtown mind-body wellness retreat, to be as energy efficient as possible. • Installing a 20kW solar photovoltaic system at Amherst House that will generate 23,000 kilowatt-hours of clean energy every year – equal to the consumption of two average homes. CA also worked closely with Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) to promote various ENERGY STAR products and programs that are available to help Columbia residents and businesses be more sustainable. CA strongly encourages all members of our community to explore these resources and take what steps they can to reduce energy consumption, fight climate change and save money. For more information on BGE’s incentive programs for residents and businesses, please go to BGESmartEnergy.com. For more information about ENERGY STAR, please go to EnergyStar.gov. 6 C A M O N T H LY
