Lakes Districts can be formed in two different ways

the governing body)

Important questions to think about:
o Boundary lines- What makes sense
o Urban Management Run Off
o How to collaborate with the community
o How to collaborate with Storm Water
o Storm Water incentives for the community
o Set an example of positive storm water practices on City Property
o Education is key ( Brochures, Educational Signs, Videos, Social Media Campaign)

projects ( Rain Gardens)
