Karth Lake Improvement District Board April 23, 2024 Page 2 installed as a part of the Nursery Hills PNP Road project to help filter water but probably won’t be required for the 2026 project. The Nursery Hill rain gardens that are not in individuals’ yards are in poor shape because they have not been maintained. The KLID board could potentially ask the city council for funding to buy plants and have volunteers to do the work. Parks and Trails committee has a subcommittee for rain gardens (Liz and Nancy). We could potentially work with them to determine what needs to be done to get those rain gardens functioning again. David commented that the city is attempting to revamp their rain garden plan. 4.4.3.
