So
it's
still
a
great
facility,
and
so
these
few
changes
have
just
allowed
more
staff
to
come
into
City
Hall
people.
B
A
One
of
the
things
that
you
were
working
on
before
moving
into
this
position
in
the
public
works
department
was
a
plan
with
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
to
sort
of
attack
the
emerald
ash
borer,
which
is
something
that's
going
to
be
probably
attacking
our
ash
trees.
Here
soon
enough
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
emerald
ash
borer
and
what
it
is
so.
B
The
emerald
ash
borer
is
an
invasive
pest
that
attacks
ash
trees,
whether
they're,
healthy
or
not,
and
will
kill
ash
trees.
It's
kind
of
started
in
Michigan
and
it's
kind
of
moved
this
way,
and
so
we
just
we
took
a
plan
to
council
to
be
proactive.
There
are
some
treatment
options,
but
it
depends
on
kind
of
the
size
and
condition
of
the
trees
that
are
available
for
that.
So
we
kind
of
council
agreed,
we
did
a
20-year
plan
which
will
involve
treatment
and
removal,
and
we
look
to
start
that
most
likely
this
winter.
So.
A
B
B
A
B
A
B
What
we
stressed
is
when
we
replant
we
really
want
to
get
the
diversity
up.
There
are
some
areas
in
town
that
have
very
large
populations
of
ash
or
maples
or
oaks,
and
we
want
to
kind
of
get
away
from
that.
So
if
there
is
anything
in
the
future
that
we
don't
run
into
a
scenario
where
we
might
have
to
remove
almost
all
the
trees
of
a
block,
so.
B
B
A
B
It's
the
second
largest
percentage
behind
maples,
so
it's
a
very
big
part
of
our
urban
canopy,
and
so
that's
why
it's
very
important
and
why
we're
making
sure
in
the
future
we
have
enough
diversity.
So
if
there
is
something
that
comes
after
a
specific
species,
obviously
this
happened
in
the
past
with
Dutch
elm
that
we
kind
of
are
able
to
handle
that
without
the
large
impacts
of
having
so
much
of
one
species.
So.
A
B
A
B
There
are
options
like
a
like:
we
talked
about
with
treatment,
but
it'll
depend
on
the
condition
of
the
tree,
and
the
treatment
only
lasts
for
two
to
three
years,
so
you
have
to
retreat
throughout
that
time.
So
if
it's
an
ash
tree,
that
would
be
pretty
much.
The
only
option
is
to
look
at
some
type
of
treatment
to
prevent
it
from
going
festive
and.
B
A
B
A
B
A
B
Plan
is
that
will
work
on
notifications
to
let
people
know,
including
probably
posting
the
trees
that
we
plan
on
removing
this
year
and
letting
people
in
the
neighborhood
and
other
people
know
kind
of
what
our
plan
is.
So
that
probably
will
start
this
winter
depending
on
kind
of
weather
conditions.
But
people
will
pricey
work
in
areas
predominately
focus,
maybe
on
the
smaller
ash
trees
in
newer
areas,
starting
this
winter,
but
then
spreading
throughout
the
community
in
the
spring.
So.
A
I've
been
very
impressed,
my
conversations
with
people
about
the
emerald
ash
borer.
There
seems
to
be
a
certain
amount
of
understanding
that
this
is
a
it's
a
situation
that
it
looks
rather
bleak
for
these
trees
and
that
people
are
accepting
that
the
fact
that
the
trees
probably
need
to
come
down
to
get
something
else
growing
as
quickly
as
possible.
Are
you
experiencing
that
as
well?
Yes,.
B
And
then
quite
a
few
people,
it's
been
in
the
news
quite
a
bit
over
past
year,
it
kind
of
stalled.
It
seemed
like
on
its
movement,
but
this
year
it's
moved
quite
a
bit
into
Iowa,
so
I
think
the
news-
and
you
know
what
other
communities
are
doing-
has
really
been
out
in
front
of
people.
So
I
think
most
people
are
aware,
but
if
they
have
questions
they
can
certainly
call
us
and.
A
B
A
B
Probably
two
main
sources:
obviously
the
city
of
Ames
website,
there's
a
new
website,
city
of
Ames
org,
slash
trees
as
information
about
all
trees,
but
links
emerald,
ash,
borer.
Obviously,
ISU
extension
is
also
a
good
resource
for
people
to
look
for
information
or
if
they
just
have
general
questions,
they
can
certainly
call
the
public
works
department,
and
then
we
also
have
an
ash
map
that
shows
all
the
ash
in
the
city
that
were
inventoried.
So
they
can
find
that
through
the
public.
B
A
A
That
website
is
city
of
ames
dot,
org,
slash
trees.
If
you
want
information
about
the
emerald
ash
borer,
some
other
things
for
your
calendar.
Remember:
November
is
the
month
of
holidays.
We
have
Thanksgiving
coming
up
in
City,
Hall
and
most
city
offices
will
be
closed
on
thursday
and
friday
november
27th
and
28.
Also,
if
you
haven't
gotten
all
your
yard
work
done,
you
have
one
more
opportunity
for
yard
waste
free
day.
That
is
saturday
december
sixth.
Well,
that's
our
show
for
today,
thanks
for
watching
and
tune
in
next
week
for
this
week
in
Ames.
