Summary

Commissioner Brian Benes proposed asking the Lions Club for permission to set up a tent at the Fourth of July celebration to hand out saplings, to be staffed by commission members and Hiawatha High School FFA students. No final permission or logistics were recorded.

Commissioner Brian Benes proposed outreach at the village Fourth of July event, suggesting the commission ask the Lions Club to allow a tent for sapling distribution. The minutes say commission members and FFA members from Hiawatha High School "could staff the tent," indicating volunteer-based staffing rather than paid distribution.

The commission discussed logistics broadly but recorded no formal agreement with the Lions Club or a final volunteer roster. The idea remains a planned outreach initiative pending permission from the Lions Club and confirmation of volunteer availability.
