    I always found Karl easy to work with and was impressed at his ability to explain difficult issues facing the district. He also was a fantastic fund raiser and grant writer. He brought in close to $300,000 for the rehabilitation of our Community Park, as well as over saw the complete rebuild of our treatment plant.
