ADMINISTRATION<br />
Statement of Purpose<br />
The Administration Program assures high quality department outcomes.<br />
Description<br />
The Administration Program assures that programs, activities, parks and trails, exhibits and community events support<br />
the department outcomes of personal development and personal enjoyment. The program conserves and preserves<br />
land in the Village for the enjoyment of Village residents as parks, trails and open spaces through the acquisition of<br />
land. Additionally the program is responsible for the application and reporting of grants.<br />
Accomplishments<br />
In 2016, the emphasis of the Parks, Trails and Recreation department was on supporting community events, youth and<br />
adult art and recreation programs, planning and implementing park projects and parks maintenance. In 2016, the Village<br />
received an Arapahoe County Open Space standard grant of $187,500 for the Greenwood Gulch Trail Crossing<br />
<strong>Improvement</strong> and a small grant for $35,000 toward the Outdoor Exercise Equipment Project at Curtis Park. An additional<br />
$300,000 in funding was awarded toward the Goldsmith Gulch Trail Extension and Caley Avenue Undercrossing from<br />
Arapahoe County Open Spaces through a joint project request. $600,000 toward the construction of the Village Greens<br />
North Phase IV project was awarded through a request to the Cherry Creek Basin Working Group and Arapahoe County<br />
Open Spaces.<br />
Goals/Objectives<br />
In <strong>2017</strong>, the department will continue to evaluate industry trends to determine future programming and will also assess<br />
how department outcomes are measured. The department will continue to seek grant funding.<br />
