Columbia Association Holding Public Budget Forum

Columbia Association’s Board of Directors will hold a public budget forum on Thursday, Jan. 21, 2016, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at Slayton House, 10400 Cross Fox Lane in the Wilde Lake Village Center. The forum will be hosted by the Board’s Planning and Strategy Committee.

CA’s budget process provides ample opportunities for community input. This forum is for the draft budgets for the next two-year budget cycle, which includes fiscal years 2017 and 2018. All community stakeholders are encouraged to attend — including residents, representatives of village community associations, advisory committee members and others.

Speakers are encouraged to provide written versions of their remarks. There will be time limits for each speaker. Testimony also can be provided via email at Board.Members@ColumbiaAssociation.org or by snail mail to Columbia Association Accounting Department, 6310 Hillside Court, Suite 100, Columbia, Maryland, 21046.

Additional budget work sessions are scheduled through the end of February 2016 and are expected to begin at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted. The full CA budget schedule can be found at http://bit.ly/cabudgethearings1718.
