Once EAB gets established in a city, all <br />of that city's ash trees will be killed within five to ten years.

Changes made to Chapter 902 <br />are underlined and changes since the first reading are noted in red ink. If second <br />reading is approved, the ordinance will be published and will become effective after 30 <br />days according to the City Charter. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve second reading of Ordinance 07 -10, Amending the City Code, Chapter 902: <br />Tree Diseases, relating to Emerald Ash Borer <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
