District backs Robinson Lake rain garden and approves modest Water Fest budget
Summary
Staff proposed a Robinson Lake rain garden and the board endorsed staff plans; the board also approved a $1,000 budget for a revived Water Fest community event and authorized outreach and vendor participation.
Staff presented plans to develop a rain garden at Robinson Lake as part of the district’s outreach and MS4 permit obligations and asked the board for backing to proceed with volunteer and vendor support.
Presenter (voice 4) described the proposal as a community-facing rain garden sited near the parking area to intercept parking-lot runoff and help stabilize the shoreline; the parks director was reported as supportive and staff said vendors and volunteer staffing will be solicited to minimize cost. The board voted to give staff its backing to proceed with design and coordination.
Separately, marketing staff summarized plans to revive the Water Fest (Robinson Lake) in coordination with park staff and environmental partners; the board approved a $1,000 event budget for signage and giveaways to support attendance and education.
Next steps: staff will move forward on vendor outreach, finalize a rain-garden design and report back on funding and volunteer plans.
