What Does the Village Board Do?

The Village Board is elected by the community each April to advocate for residents, set policy, and uphold the covenants. The Board hires and supervises the Village Manager, approves the budget, and provides representation and is a liaison to the county, Columbia Association, and other community groups. The Village Board usually meets on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. The meetings on the second Monday of the month are virtual at The Hawthorn Center, the meetings on the fourth Monday are hybrid. The meetings begin at 7:30 pm and the meeting invitation is available on the Meeting, Minutes and Agenda page.
