District 10 Como Community Council

District 10 Como Community Council We magnify the ideas and power of our community members. Every neighborhood in Saint Paul has a district council. When we can’t, we challenge them.

In District 10, that’s us: The Como Community Council. We connect neighbors with other neighbors who want to accomplish things. Big picture, we magnify the ideas and power of our community members. We give renters, homeowners, businesses, and local organizations a constructive, respected, consistent way to combine voices. We push for decisions that are made from the bottom up, not the top down. We

provide a trusted space to talk and listen, the support for grassroots energy, a hub for local partnerships, a way to stay informed, a place to get things done. When we can, we work cooperatively with institutions, city staff, and elected officials. We are accountable to our neighbors; in fact, we are run by a 17-member board of volunteers elected by our neighbors. Our mission: We connect and empower each other, creating a compassionate community, courageously addressing injustices of the past and present, and forging a bold and inclusive
Our vision: A vibrant, diverse, affordable neighborhood filled with a spirit of kindness and belonging.

UPDATE on Thursday, June 4, 2026:
We have been closely monitoring the situation at Como Lake. We are now observing over a thousand dead fish in the lake. Removal of the dead fish will begin tomorrow morning, Friday, June 5. We will provide any additional updates here as needed.

Original Post from Wednesday, June 3. 2026:
Como Lake recently had a fish die-off that is likely due to low oxygen in the water. Fish need oxygen in the water to breathe and can become stressed and die when oxygen levels in the lake drop quickly. CRWD staff investigated and confirmed the die-off of about 100 bluegill sunfish and crappies earlier this week.

Following last week’s heat wave, we observed a sudden shift in the lake’s oxygen levels at our continuous monitoring stations. Oxygen levels in the lake can drop quickly as the water surface warms. High temperatures can also cause rapid decomposition of algae and aquatic plants like curly-leaf pondweed, further reducing oxygen levels in the lake as they decompose, and giving off a foul odor.

We appreciate the concerned community members who reached out to us and our partners at Saint Paul Parks and Recreation, Ramsey County, Minnesota, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Please note that we typically don’t remove dead fish and instead allow them to remain in the food chain for other species to consume. The fish die-off is not impacting Como Lake’s water quality for general use or posing a risk to humans or pets at the lake.
