Hello Columbia Beach Residents:
I am Horace McCaskill the Chairperson of the Beach and Erosion Committee, a standing committee of the Columbia Beach Citizens Improvement Association (CBCIA). I was appointed to this position by the President, CBCIA, and approved at the August 22, 2009 general membership meeting of the Association.

My duties and responsibilities encompass recommending to the Board of Directors and CBCIA’s general membership adequate precautions , safety measures and appropriate signage pertaining to the use and travel along Columbia Beach shoreline and on its community-owned piers; inspecting, investigating and making recommendations for the proper maintenance of the shoreline and adjacent community property; and attending to the execution of all approved recommendations ordered by the Board of Directors and/or the general membership.
Additional duties, I perform as a board member, consist of ensuring that provisions are made for the protection of the community, and to provide ways and means for the observance and enforcement of all restrictions, rules and regulations governing the Association and the community of Columbia Beach, which is both a Special Community Benefit District (SCBD) and Shore Erosion Control District (SECD).
