Old Business <br />4.1. Progress Report on Protection of Pump and Control Panel <br />4.1.1. Background: Linda reported that she has seen people climbing on the pump station in the lake. <br />Todd reported that the City found the entire pump station turned upside down. The Board recommended if <br />anyone sees someone disturbing the pump, they should call the Ramsey County Sheriff at 651-767-0640 <br />and observed that the Sheriff’s job would be easier if there was a “No Trespassing” sign on the pump. The <br />Board recommended that the City put a “No Trespassing” sign on the pump station. Action: Todd agreed <br />to investigate that option. <br />4.1.2. Report on “No Trespassing” sign – David Swearingen: David said that Jeff Frid, Public Works <br />Superintendent, will bolt a sign on the pump structure that says, “Warning, Stay Back.” Board members <br />again emphasized that the Sheriff’s job of responding to calls would be easier if there was also a “No <br />Trespassing” sign. Then it would be clear that disturbing it was not allowed by the city. David will look <br />into adding that sign. <br /> <br />4.2. Communication plan for KLID website: Staff and Board <br />Background: The City has set up a KLID website that is ready to be populated and has assigned Gretchen <br />Needham, the City’s New Communications Coordinator as the point of contact for additions and changes. <br />Content should be Community focused. The Board agreed that the KLIDB Secretary should be the Board’s <br />primary point of contact with Gretchen, and that all additions and changes in the KLID website should be <br />approved by the Board.
