any funding would first have be used to hire a consultant to develop a solution. Kathy asked if adding native plants could help address the Downstream BMP #1 area. She offered to reach out to RCWD and Blue Thumb for assistance. Action: Sue Johnson agreed to capture video of the water flow in Downstream BMP #1. Kathy Johnson agreed to set up a meeting at the BMP #1 site with Kyle Axtell from RCWD and any board members that could attend for his thoughts on Downstream BMP #1 mitigation. 6.2 Progress Report on No-Trespassing sign: David Swearingen 6.2.1. Background: The Board requested replacement of the No-Trespassing Sign to warn the public not to cross the land bridge from Cummings Park to the residential area to the north. Renee M. noted that the sign was agreed to and authorized in the July 14, 2009, KLIDB Meeting. Action from 10/26/22 Meeting: David S. and Mayor Grant will review this history and decide what to do. Discussion: David reported that a new sign has been installed that says “City Property Ends Here.” Action: None. Resolved. 6.3. Add Grit Chambers to storm drains that empty into Karth Lake and do not have Grit Chambers now. Next Steps: Show map of existing storm drains and grit chambers that empty into Karth Lake. David Swearingen. 6.3.1 Background: There is only one storm drain inlet to Karth Lake that does not have a grit chamber: the one on Karth Lake Circle. This will be corrected when that road is repaved in about 2026. Discussion: David said street sweeping will be soon to remove grit in the streets around Karth Lake. The city has already cleaned out the new BMP #1 grit chamber. The final grit chamber will be added during the repaving project in 2026. Linda says there is also a man hole on Amble Drive that has sunk several inches. David said that will be addressed in the repaving project in 2026. Action: David Swearingen agreed to show map of existing storm drains and grit chambers that empty into Karth Lake. 6.4. Karth Lake water level modeling and management process progress report. Renee Marino 6.4.1 Background: Renee Marino’s Hypothesis: a revision to the pump management policy can reduce water level bounce (i.e., range of high and low levels), which can improve lake quality and its environment while appropriately mitigating risk of damage to shoreline properties.
