after moving in. There was a general discussion about how to identify new homeowners so the board could reach out to them. The city has a tool to quickly pull a mailing list of addresses, but it not pulled on a regular basis. Homeowner names can also be accessed from the interactive property tax maps, but there is no automated way to be notified of a new owner. Communication within the education topic below could also help increase awareness for 2024 elections. Although the preference is to attract new board members, Linda is willing to continue on the board if she is needed. Aisha agreed to reach out to Tony to see if he could do the same. For the 2023 elections, we should prepare a new letter to KLID members that David Swearingen can send to property owners. Renée to send last year’s letter to the board for their input, then Kathy Johnson agreed to draft the new letter and Renée to finalize and send to David. 6.2. Identification and onboarding of new City Council liaison and other communications with City Council. 6.2.1 Background: Several new members were elected to Arden Hills’ City Council in November 2022. A new liaison will likely be appointed by Mayor David Grant to the KLID board. Last year’s onboarding of liaison Steve Scott included a walking tour around the lake. At the last board meeting, the idea of an annual tour of the lake was discussed and broadly supported. Action: Discuss possible ways to educate new City Council members and the new liaison about Karth Lake and the history and prospects for its management. Discuss the possibility of a 2023 walking tour of the lake, including when, for what audience and by whom. Discussion: The new City Council liaison has not yet been appointed. Hold this topic until that happens. The City Council has a big learning curve right now, but the KLIDB might want to make a presentation to the City Council at some point in the future. The last one was made over 10 years ago. This topic is on hold. 6.3. Education of lakeshore owners about disposal of leaves into lake. Discussion: This topic should be expanded to a broader educational and outreach goal and help increase interest in the KLID. A communications plan could include face-to-face door-to-door outreach, a flyer, events, the website and other methods. Gary shared a previous flyer. Kathy agreed to start drafting a new flyer. Any flyer could be linked from the website. This topic will be addressed further at our next meeting. 7. NEXT MEETING: Tuesday, April 11, 2023 at 6:30 PM at City Hall. 8. ADJOURN
