Summary

Members agreed promotion should start in early September, reviewed a provisional order deadline around Sept. 30 (possible move to Oct. 15), planned a planting day mid-November, and assigned volunteers to update materials, manage PA1 utility locates, hole-digging and signage.

The commission set a timeline for outreach and operations ahead of the fall planting: promotion and borough blast distribution beginning in September, a provisional order deadline discussed as Sept. 30 (with a possible shift to Oct. 15), and a planting day referenced in planning materials as Nov. 14. Chair emphasized that the order form must be live before promotion begins so residents can place orders.

Operational responsibilities were assigned: volunteers to sort and update the species flyers and QR code links, a volunteer lead to collect orders and coordinate hole-digging teams, and a reminder to confirm PA1 utility-locate procedures before digging. "We do batch... PA 1 call list" a committee member explained when outlining hole-digging and safety steps; members also discussed volunteer team composition and distribution of signs and flyers.
