Huntley OKs ash borer plan:

In June, Huntley staffers will survey ash trees on village property and remove trees infested with the emerald ash borer. If a resident wants to replace an ash tree that has been removed, the village will split the cost with the homeowner. The village will not remove ash trees that are not infested. "We're trying to stay on top of this but also balance the cost of the program," Village Manager Dave Johnson said. "We don't have the financial ability right now to go out and replace them all." The survey is expected to take one month. The first infestation was confirmed in the village in July 2008.
