The board approved four community grants (Lena Lions Fall Festival $2,000, Lena Area Historical Society $1,000, LASER $1,000 with one abstention, and LBPA $1,000).

The Board approved four small community grants during the meeting: $2,000 to the Lena Lions for the Fall Festival (split $1,000 festival/$1,000 parade), $1,000 to the Lena Area Historical Society, a $1,000 LASER grant that passed with one abstention from Trustee Tillie Coomber, and a $1,000 grant to the LBPA. Each grant was approved by motion and recorded in the minutes.
