OLD BUSINESS <br />4.1. Lakeshore owner outreach and education. Joel Gerich <br />4.1.1. Background: The KLIDB has reached out to KLID members in the past <br />with flyers, events and door-knocking to increase awareness of what the <br />KLIDB does, provide information to assist members in managing their <br />shoreline and to recruit new board members. The Board agreed to consider <br />another Ice Cream Social for Summer 2025. <br />4.1.2. Action: At the April meeting the Board voted to have the Ice Cream Social <br />on June 24 but scheduling and communication issues meant that information <br />was not going to be available in a timely manner so it seemed unlikely that <br />there would be reasonable attendance. The Ice Cream Social was <br />rescheduled to July 29 and the pavilion has been reserved. <br />4.2. Water quality monitoring for Karth Lake for 2025. Gary Gerding <br />4.2.1. Background: The KLIDB has participated in the Citizen-Assisted <br />Monitoring Program (CAMP) with the Metropolitan Council by <br />coordinating volunteer sampling of Karth Lake’s water quality since 2006. <br />4.2.2. We are maintaining lake quality rating with the DNR. It will be <br />challenging to maintain this rating because of the excessive weeds and the <br />lack of dredging. <br />4.2.3. Action: Water testing is done by Andrew in the Spring and Fall and by <br />Renee in the Summer <br /> <br />5. NEW BUSINESS <br />5.1. Possible outreach to attract another Board member <br />5.1.1. Discuss the opening opportunity with folks attending the Ice Cream <br />Social. Joel has been actively pursuing new possibilities.
