A
Hello,
this
is
Ames
Mayor,
John
Haila
I'm
committed
to
communicating
with
you
regularly
so
that
you
have
local
information
and
updates,
as
well
as
to
reassure
you
that
all
the
aims
partner
organizations
are
working
collaboratively
to
address
the
challenges
presented
by
the
coded
pandemic.
These
are
indeed
unusual
times.
Well,
we
do
not
have
any
historical
precedent
to
review.
A
We
are
adapting
developing
and
implementing
our
emergency
response
plans
to
best
serve
the
city
of
Ames,
as
well
as
storey
County,
while
City
Hall
is
close
to
public
city,
employees
continue
to
focus
on
providing
the
Ames
residents
with
the
essential
services
they
need
each
day
for
health
and
safety.
We
are
committed
to
serving
each
one
of
you.
I
want
to
share
with
you
some
information,
I
hope
you
will
find
helpful.
A
Recently.
We
have
been
getting
a
lot
of
requests
to
issue
a
shelter-in-place
order
here
in
Ames
last
Friday,
the
Iowa
Attorney
General
issued
an
opinion
stating
that
only
the
governor
of
Iowa
has
authority
to
issue
such
an
order.
She
has
had
the
option
to
delegate
that
to
local
entities,
but
as
of
today,
she
has
not
the
governor
has
closed
a
lot
of
businesses,
schools,
events
and
other
activities
that
will
attract
large
groups.
A
Additionally,
she
has
asked
that
we
limit
the
size
of
groups
to
10
or
less.
The
governor
has
asked
every
day
at
her
press
conference
and
made
it
clear
for
the
last
couple
of
weeks
that
Iowans
are
being
asked
to
stay
at
home
as
much
as
possible.
While
this
is
not
an
official
shelter-in-place
order,
every
resident
is
encouraged
to
stay
home.
This
is
one
way
that
we
can
reduce
the
spread
of
the
virus
and
flatten
the
curve.
A
It's
certainly
understood
that
individuals
need
to
go
out
to
the
grocery
store,
take
care
of
essential
functions,
health
care,
checking
on
loved
ones
and
importantly,
get
outside
and
sighs,
but
it's
very
important
that
individuals
spend
as
much
time
as
they
possibly
can
in
their
homes.
This
is
important
to
be
considerate
of
others
in
our
community.
A
We
have
a
lot
to
learn
about
the
spread
of
the
virus
and,
even
though
you
may
feel
fine,
you
may
be
someone
who
gage
could
be
spreading
into
someone
who
is
in
the
more
high-risk
categories.
I
have
been
very
encouraged
as
I've
gone
out
and
I've
taught
to
others
that
are
about
because
of
business
or
our
police
DC,
and
here
that
many
of
the
residents
are
doing
a
good
job
of
physically
dissing
themselves.
However,
there
are
locations
where
this
has
not
been
occurring.
A
A
Unfortunately,
we
have
noticed
that
children's
use
of
playground
equipment
has
not
taken
advantage
of
nor
followed
the
social
distancing,
and
these
unfortunately,
will
need
to
be
closed.
This
is
being
done
in
concert
with
the
Ames
Community,
School
District
and
well.
It's
regrettable.
We
believe
it's
important
to
do
in
order
to
minimize
the
spread
of
the
virus.
A
One
of
the
reasons
it's
important
to
stop
the
spread
of
the
virus
is
that
we
don't
know
who
may
be
infected,
for
example,
Public
Safety
workers,
health
care
workers,
it's
not
just
friends
or
family,
but
it's
those
who
may
be
caring
for
you
selling
you,
your
groceries
or
coming
to
your
house
in
case
of
an
emergency,
so
I'm
asking
you
to
encourage
your
family
friends,
loved
ones,
and
you
to
do
your
part
to
stop
the
spread
of
this
virus.
The
one
opportunity
we
have
to
break
the
back
of
this
is
to
social
distance.
A
We
have
the
power
to
influence
the
impact
this
virus
could
have
on
our
community.
It
isn't
too
late.
So
please
do
your
part
care
about
yourself
and
others
and
keep
your
community
safe.
One
other
item
like
to
mention
is
that
I'm
extremely
encouraged
by
what
Iowa,
State
University
students
are
doing
to
promote
this
as
well.
You'll
find
a
link
to
the
website
and
some
videos
on
our
website
as
well
as
here
on
this
video.
This
is
a
fluid
and
rapidly
evolving
situation.
A
Conditions
can
and
will
quickly
change.
We
have
an
exceptional
local
partner
network.
That's
working
closely
together
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
community.
Please
stay
informed
by
regularly
checking
local
media
and
reliable
websites,
