GOVERNMENT THE MAYOR’S view SOUTH METRO FIRE RESCUE AUTHORITY AND THE GREENWOOD VILLAGE POLICE DEPARTMENT — LEADING ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE Public safety has always been our number one priority, and will continue to be a critical function of your local government as we continue with our quality service delivery and evaluation of how we can improve and make our community an even better place to live, work and visit. Just as life is not defined as a destination but rather a journey, the achievement of excellence is also not a destination, but a continuous journey. When excellence is achieved, efforts continue to determine how performance and succession rates can be further improved. It’s the dedication, Ron Rakowsky passion and pride that an organization has to strive rrakowsky@ for continuous excellence and this is why South greenwoodvillage.com Metro Fire Rescue Authority (which is a special 303-486-5741 district) and the Greenwood Village Police Department are currently seeking accreditation for their respective agencies. Accreditation helps both agencies compare themselves with other accredited agencies to ensure their South Metro’s Emergency Medical Technicians RAMBLE WITH RON Have some ideas or suggestions to share about living or working in Greenwood Village? Walk and talk with Mayor Ron Rakowsky at Tommy Davis Park, 9200 E. Orchard Road, on March 7, 10 and 17 from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. (weather permitting). Registration is not required. For more information, please call the Mayor’s Office at 303-486-5745. Check for a monthly schedule for Ramble with Ron on the Village Website at www.greenwoodvillage.com. Greenwood Village Police Department Youth Academy organizations meet or exceed national standards and best practices. It is not an easy process but attainable for both South Metro and the Police Department. South Metro Fire Rescue Authority has virtually completed their accreditation process, and the Police Department accreditation process should be completed this November. Every process in the Police Department — from handling personnel, complaints, evidence, etc. — will be evaluated by assessors from other police departments to ensure our Police Department practices match our policies, procedures, and operations. The planning, self evaluation, performance standards, transparency, identifying areas for improvement, and ability to undergo a rigorous assessment contributes not only to accreditation, but is a benefit to both organizations, and ultimately, the citizens of Greenwood Village. The Village is fortunate to have South Metro Fire Rescue Authority, Littleton Fire Rescue, and the Greenwood Village Police Department as leading providers of emergency services in our community. These agencies have achieved reputations for being one of the “best” in the state in their delivery of fire and police services. Because of their strategic deployment and seamless delivery of services, Greenwood Village ranks as one of the safest communities in our nation to live and work. We should appreciate every police officer and firefighter and their support staffs for every task, whether small or large, accomplished to keep us safe. They put their lives on the line on our behalf every day, and for that, we should be extremely grateful. I am confident you join me in thanking them for raising the bar of expectations and striving for continuous improvement within their organizations!

RNAV is a method of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) navigation that allows an aircraft to choose any course within a network of satellites. This method can conserve flight distance and reduce both congestion and aircraft noise while allowing flights into airports without beacons. The FAA is presently determining RNAV routes for Denver International Airport (DIA), including the nearby airports of Centennial and Rocky Mountain Metro. FAA changes to the RNAV routes could cause planes from Centennial Airport to fly higher than DIA planes which will create less noise in affected neighborhoods. Stay tuned for updates from the CACNR on this and other important airport noise issues. I congratulate the CACNR on their recognition by the National Organization to Insure a Sound-Controlled Environment (NOISE) with the Betty Ann Krahnke Community of the Year Award for 2010. This award is presented to a local government or community partnership that has made extraordinary efforts on behalf of their citizens in aviation noise pollution mitigation. Congratulations to the CACNR for this prestigious recognition. Thank you for your dedication to improve the quality of life of our communities Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable, left to right: Bob Doubek, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association; Alison Biggs, Douglas County; Bette Todd, Greenwood Village District 3 Councilmember; Keith Gardner, Centennial; Harold Anderson, Lone Tree; Brad Pierce, Aurora; Karen Blilie, Chairman, Greenwood Village; Mike Sutherland, Parker; Dennis McGrann, Executive Director of N.O.I.S.E. and neighborhoods, by working together to find solutions to reduce aircraft noise from Centennial Airport.
