Description
Learn about the City of Ames Block Party Trailer from City Planner & neighborhood liaison Julie Gould.
A
B
Been
a
plane
over
to
send
you
to
aim
for
how
about
seven,
eight
months
and
still
I
started
in
July
and
I've
actually
lived
in
the
town
for
five
years
and
prior
to
that,
I
was
a
planner
with
the
city
of
Ankeny,
I'm,
mainly
doing
everything
planners
do
rezoning,
subdivisions,
annexations,
etc.
But
then
I've
also
been
tasked
with
being
the
serving
the
role
of
the
neighborhood,
a
liaison
and
kind
of
taking
over
some
of
those
duties
and
communicating
with
the
neighborhood
association.
So.
A
B
Was
the
neighborhood
liaison
does
can
be
wear.
Many
hats
was
that,
when,
in
relation
to
the
neighborhoods
I
can
help
you
at
your
first
meeting
too,
if
you
want
to
start
a
neighborhood
association
and
go
through
kind
of
how
to
create
your
boundaries
and
how
you
want
to
set
up
your
meeting
and
your
order
and.
A
B
Yes,
there
are
approximately
a
35
I
believe
right
now,
current
we
don't.
We
don't
ever
officially
delete
you
out
of
the
system
if
you're,
not
an
active
association,
and
we
just
kind
of
put
you
on
a
different
list,
so
there's
always
a
contest
and
what
that
row,
riginal
boundary
was
somewhere
on
record.
If
you
ever
wanted
to
restart
again
and.
A
On
the
website,
there's
a
map
and
it
lists
all
these
neighborhoods
associations
and
Kerry
gives
those
geographic
boundaries.
So
when
somebody
says
maybe
they're
interested
in
starting
an
association,
do
you
first
start
with
the
map
and
see?
If
maybe
there
already
is
an
association
in
their
area.
Yeah.
B
We
see
if
there's
one
in
existence
and
I
also
love
to
see
if
there
was
one
currently
or
somewhat
in
the
recent
past.
That
was
in
case
because
that
kind
of
provides
a
starting
point
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
can
reach
out
to
those
that
may
have
been
involved
previously
see
if
they
want
to
still
be
a
part
of
it
or
start
brand
new
from
scratch.
A
B
Think
it's
very
helpful.
A
neighborhood
kind
of
are
the
backbone
to
the
community.
It's
a
good
way
to
get
information
out
amongst
the
residents.
It's
a
good
point
of
contact
kind
of
a
point-to-point
contact
if
you
have
an
association
with
some
and
then
that
association
representative
has
contact
with
City
Hall
and
there's
so
many
things
that
associations
can
do
to
really
kind
of
enhance
the
livability
of
a
community
such
as
cleanup
days
and
park
rehabilitations
and
enhancements,
and
things
like
that.
There's.
A
B
You
don't
have
to
be
an
official
neighborhood
association
to
partake
in
those
activities.
For
example,
we
have
the
neighborhood
block
trailer
party.
Anybody
in
the
city
can
organize
a
block
party
for
their
neighborhood
and
and
that's
available
to
rent
our
to
reserve
online,
and
those
are
that's
active
april
through
october.
I
believe
they
do
not
do
it
on
game
day
week,
home
game
day,
weekends
in
the
fall,
but
otherwise
on
the
weekends
it's
available
for
you
and
it
comes
fully
stocked
with
everything
you
need
for
your
party
tables
toys,
activities
for
kids,
etc,
chairs,
etc.
B
B
It's
very
popular
I've
from
my
understanding
with
my
short
tenure
at
the
city.
The
reservations
Philip
almost
immediately
reservations
within
the
last
last
year.
Maybe
it
was
the
first
year
it
was
online,
they'll
start
in
March,
and
so
you
need
to
get
on
there
and
get
your
spot
reserved
the
res
our
calendars
up
for
the
year,
so
every
weekends
available.
So
you
can
pick
which
one
you
want
right
away
at
the
beginning,
with.
A
B
Right
now
we
do
saturdays.
Only
our
Police
Department
delivers
the
trailer
to
your
neighborhood
on
a
Friday,
and
you
can
have
your
party
on
Saturday
and
then
at
some
point
on
sunday
the
police
department
comes
back
to
pick
it
up,
and
then
it
moves
to
the
next
location
for
the
following
weekend.
Currently
it's
only
been
one
Saturday.
A
B
A
A
Ramsey
org
look
for
the
living
AB
and
draw
down
on
to
the
neighborhood
page
and
you'll
find
all
that
information
yep

for
being
on
the
show.
Thank
you

So
much
information
is
available
at
our
city
of
Ames
website.
Now
you
can
register
and
reserve
