SPECIAL ELECTION<br />
IN JUNE<br />
As you may have heard,<br />
City Council voted to<br />
approve a Special<br />
Election in June to<br />
give residents the<br />
opportunity to vote on<br />
an amendment to the<br />
Village’s Comprehensive Plan to guide future<br />
development of the area known as the Orchard<br />
Station Subarea. You can learn more about the<br />
upcoming Special Election on page 7 of this<br />
April <strong>Newsletter</strong> and the May edition. Registered<br />
voters of the Village should be on the lookout<br />
for their mail ballot from May 15 through May<br />
22. For more information, please call the City<br />

APRIL SHOWERS ARE NEEDED<br />
FOR FLOWERS . . . AND TREES<br />
Although it’s been a dry winter, we are hopeful that Mother<br />
Nature will bring some rain showers in April so we can have<br />
an abundance of flowers in May. Just as important<br />
precipitation is needed for the thousands of trees we have in<br />
Greenwood Village.<br />
In celebration of Arbor Day in April and the Village being<br />
named a Tree City USA community due to our commitment<br />
to urban forest management, I want to raise awareness of<br />
trees and the important role they play in our environment<br />
and ask for your help.<br />
Did you know since 1995, there have been 5,229 trees<br />
planted on public property within Greenwood Village? Trees<br />
work 24-hours a day to improve our air, protect our water,<br />
save energy and improve economic sustainability, and of<br />
course contribute to the beauty of Greenwood Village. Some<br />
interesting facts: a mature tree can absorb as much carbon in<br />
one year as a car emits driving 26,000 miles and a tree can<br />
produce almost 260 pounds of oxygen per year that can<br />
supply enough oxygen annually to support a family of four!<br />
Please help the Village by planting more trees and properly<br />
watering the ones you have on your property. Keep in mind<br />
the frequency and the amount of water needed for trees<br />
depend on the diameter of the tree trunk. By deep root<br />
watering to a depth of 12 inches under the drip line of a tree<br />
will get the water to the roots and will also aerate the soil.<br />
Generally, trees receive sufficient water if they are in turf<br />
areas that are watered. If drip systems are not adjusted as<br />
trees get bigger, they may not be getting sufficient water for<br />
the size of the tree.<br />
The chart above can give you an idea of how much water a tree<br />
should get per week.<br />
If you need more information about tree maintenance,<br />
please contact our Parks, Trails and Recreation Department<br />
at 303-708-6100.<br />

TRIBUTE TO GOLDEN HEARTS<br />
OF GREENWOOD<br />
Since 1989, it has been a tradition for Greenwood Village<br />
employees to share in the spirit of giving. Golden Hearts of<br />
Greenwood is a charitable organization comprised of a group<br />
of Village employees who graciously give to children and<br />
families in need during the holidays. They became a tax<br />
deductible 501(c)3 charitable organization in 1996. Over the<br />
years they have been able to do this with assistance from<br />
residents and fellow employees who want to share in the<br />
spirit of giving with donations of food, gifts and sometimes<br />
money in the form of paying some household bills. They also<br />
provide donations to victims of tragedies (fire, hurricane<br />

Guard, school supplies for unfortunate children and socks for<br />

people’s lives better.<br />

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO<br />
LAWRENCE BEAUMONT<br />
On March 18, I had the privilege and honor of attending<br />
Mr. Larry Beaumont’s 96th Birthday celebration. In 1942,<br />
at the age of 21, Larry dutifully began his service to our<br />
country as a Master Sergeant in the 543rd Field Artillery<br />
Battalion of the U.S. Army. Larry’s unit was shipped out in<br />
1945 to the Island of Leyte, in the Philippines, as part of<br />
the massive gathering of troops in secret in the jungle that<br />
would invade Japan as the last effort of World War II.<br />
On August 8, President Truman made the decision to drop<br />
the atomic bombs, ending the war. Overnight Larry’s<br />
mission changed in an effort to do all the logistics and<br />
paperwork to get thousands of men back home to the<br />
United States.<br />
I don’t say it as often I should, but as a country, we must<br />
never forget our <strong>GV</strong> residents who are veterans like Larry<br />
Beaumont, who<br />
sacrificed<br />
relentlessly and<br />
those who gave<br />
their lives to our<br />
country to preserve<br />
what many of us<br />
take for granted —<br />
our freedoms as a<br />
citizen of the U.S.<br />
Keep in mind that<br />
many veterans<br />
never got to return<br />
home and receive<br />
open arms and an<br />
enthusiastic<br />
“welcome home.”<br />
We must continue<br />
to honor the past, Larry Beaumont and Mayor Rakoswky<br />
never forget their sacrifices, but also must support our<br />
current generation of veterans and their continued mission.<br />
God Bless the United States of America!<br />
TRADE IN YOUR GAS LAWN<br />
MOWER FOR CLEANER AIR<br />
Do you want to breathe cleaner air? Then you have to discard<br />
your gas powered lawn mower and get an electric one. Did<br />
you know that it’s estimated that each weekend in the<br />
summer, about 54 million Americans mow their lawns, using<br />
800 million gallons of gas per year and producing tons of air<br />
pollutants. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection<br />
Agency (EPA), a new gas powered lawn mower produces as<br />
much air pollution in one hour of operation as 11 new cars<br />
each being driven for one hour.<br />
Electric mowers don’t totally eliminate pollution, however<br />
emissions from the electric industry are more regulated and<br />
are not in your backyard. Also they save on gas spills and gas<br />
refinery and transportation. Only reel mowers have a 0<br />
carbon footprint. This is why we still prefer reel mowers to<br />

or your time is shorter.<br />
Since gas powered lawn mowers and lawn equipment<br />
contribute nearly 10% of the Denver metro area’s ozone precursor<br />
emissions, there is a Mow Down Pollution lawn<br />
mower exchange program through the Regional Air Quality<br />
Council (RAQC) to help residents get rid of their old<br />
gasoline powered mowers, and switch to environmentally<br />
friendly electric mowers. Since 2006, nearly 2,428 gas<br />
mowers have been recycled and replaced with 3,292 electric<br />
mowers — a win-win for the community’s environment and<br />
air quality! Furthermore, electric mowers reduce noise<br />
pollution.<br />
There will be three exchange events this summer that<br />
residents can register to attend: April 29 at the Budweiser<br />

RESIDENTS INVITED TO PROVIDE<br />
INPUT AT PUBLIC MEETING<br />
Residents are invited to provide input at a public meeting on April<br />
26, 20<strong>17</strong> at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall regarding the installation of<br />
public art sculptures in Westlands Park. As per the Village’s Public<br />
Art Policy, the Parks, Trails, and Recreation Department is seeking<br />
public input on the proposed artists and locations of the work.<br />
At the meeting, residents will get the opportunity to see the<br />
proposed sites and examples of the artists’ previous works.<br />
Greenwood Village has partnered with the Museum of Outdoor Art<br />
(MOA) to present rotating, public art installations in Westlands<br />
Park. The MOA proposes temporary placement of 3-5 sculptures in<br />
Westlands Park from the fall of 20<strong>17</strong> through summer of 2018.<br />
The sculptures are work of two Colorado based artists, Charles and<br />
Collin Parson; a father/son team presenting new and existing<br />
interior gallery and exterior sculptural works in this unique<br />
exhibition. This exhibition will correspond to a gallery exhibition at<br />
MOA’s indoor gallery.<br />
The MOA is dedicated to bringing the vitality of the arts into the<br />
everyday lives of the people of Colorado. A museum without walls,<br />
MOA’s collection of outdoor sculpture reaches out to both the<br />
casual passerby and the serious art critic. MOA has several works<br />
located throughout Greenwood Village including two pieces on<br />
loan to the Village located in Westlands Park, The Nest and<br />

CONSERVE WATER AND SAVE MONEY ON YOUR WATER BILLS<br />
In 20<strong>17</strong>, Greenwood Village is partnering once again with Denver Water as part of the Water Saver Partnership to educate<br />
residents on ways to save water and money on their water bills while maintaining the beauty found in Village neighborhoods.<br />
WAIT —<br />
DON’T IRRIGATE!<br />
When it comes to lawn watering, April<br />
is too early to go automatic. Set aside<br />
plans to program your sprinkler system<br />
for later months, when the ground is<br />
less likely to retain wintertime<br />
moisture.<br />
You can still dig in and start preparing<br />
for the planting season. Here’s how:<br />
• Spring is a great time to aerate your<br />
lawn. Aeration can help water<br />
absorb more efficiently.<br />
• Check the height and width of<br />
your trees, shrubs and perennials.<br />
Prune any overgrowth — which<br />
makes excellent compost when<br />
shredded.<br />
• Watch your mail for a detailed<br />
explanation on Denver Water’s<br />
summer watering rules, which go<br />
into effect May 1.<br />

Here’s a simple<br />
springtime project<br />
that pays off: earn a<br />

a new waterefficient<br />

Denver Water offers rebates of up to<br />
$150 for purchasing a WaterSenselabeled<br />

Denver Water’s 20<strong>17</strong> summer watering<br />
rules are enforced May 1 to Oct. 1, so<br />
please use only what you need.<br />
• Water during cooler times of the<br />
day — lawn watering is not allowed<br />
between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.<br />
• Water no more than three days per<br />
week.<br />
• Do not allow water to pool in<br />
gutters, streets and alleys.<br />
• Do not waste water by letting it<br />
spray on concrete and asphalt.<br />

• Repair leaking sprinkler systems<br />
within 10 days.<br />
• Do not irrigate while it is raining<br />
or during high winds.<br />
• Use a hose nozzle with a shut-off<br />
valve when washing your car.<br />
RULES FOR WATERING<br />
NEW SEED AND SOD<br />
Denver Water customers with newly<br />
planted seed or sod may water new<br />
turf as necessary, for up to 21 days.<br />
After 21 days, routine watering is<br />
limited to no more than three days<br />
per week and not between 10 a.m. and<br />
6 p.m. To submit your request for a<br />
21-day watering exemption, call<br />
303-893-2444 or email<br />
customercare@denverwater.org.<br />
If you are requesting a watering<br />
exemption, the newly landscaped area<br />
should be 250 square feet or larger. It<br />
is wasteful to run an irrigation system<br />
on an area any smaller, and you can<br />
hand water areas that are less than 250<br />
square feet. Keep in mind that you<br />
may see an increase in your water use<br />
upon watering for up to 21 days.<br />
For questions please contact<br />
Denver Water Customer Care at<br />
303-893-2444. <strong>GV</strong><br />
TIP: Amending the soil with compost<br />
prior to planting will help to establish<br />
new plant material more successfully.<br />
Denver Water recommends that you till<br />
compost into the areas that you are<br />
planting. Learn more at<br />

20<strong>17</strong> BUDGET<br />
WHAT DOES THE<br />
BUDGET SAY ABOUT<br />
THE VILLAGE’S<br />
FINANCIAL CONDITION?<br />
This past November, City Council<br />
adopted the 20<strong>17</strong> Annual Operating<br />
and Capital Improvement Budget.<br />
The primary purpose of the Village’s<br />
Budget and budgetary process is to<br />
develop, adopt and implement a<br />
fiscally sound and sustainable plan to<br />

the upcoming year, while remaining<br />
consistent with the long-term vision<br />
of the community. Development of<br />
the 20<strong>17</strong> Annual Operating &<br />
Capital Improvement Budget<br />
focused on maintaining the existing<br />
levels of service, reinvesting in the<br />
infrastructure of the community,<br />
and ensuring the financial health<br />
of the organization without the<br />
addition of new taxes or issuance of<br />
debt.<br />
WHERE DOES THE<br />
MONEY COME FROM?<br />
The Village receives revenue from<br />
several sources. Taxes and assessments<br />
represent the largest category,<br />
accounting for more than 80% of all<br />
Village revenue. Other sources<br />
include intergovernmental revenues<br />
comprised of sources which are<br />
collected and shared with the Village<br />
by other governments, as well as<br />
federal, state and/or county grants,<br />
the sale of various licenses and<br />
permits, user charges and fees<br />
intended to offset certain costs,<br />
punitive fines and forfeitures for the<br />
commission of minor crimes, and<br />
lastly, investment earnings and<br />
miscellaneous revenues. For 20<strong>17</strong>, the<br />

APRIL 29, 20<strong>17</strong><br />
10 A.M.- 2 P.M.<br />
AT CITY HALL<br />
On Saturday, April 29, 20<strong>17</strong>, The<br />
Drug Enforcement Administration<br />
(DEA) will coordinate a collaborative<br />
effort with the Greenwood Village<br />
Police Department and other local law<br />
enforcement agencies to remove<br />
potentially dangerous controlled<br />
substances from every household’s<br />
medicine cabinets. Collection activities<br />
will take place from 10 a.m. through 2<br />
p.m. at Greenwood Village City Hall<br />
parking lot, 6060 South Quebec<br />
Street. Police Officers will be available<br />
in the parking lot at City Hall so<br />
citizens can simply drive up and drop<br />
off their unused prescription drugs.<br />
The National Take-Back Day provides<br />
an opportunity for the public to<br />
surrender expired, unwanted, or<br />
unused pharmaceutical controlled<br />
substances and other medications for<br />
destruction. These drugs are a<br />
potential source of supply for illegal<br />
use and an unacceptable risk to public<br />
health and safety.<br />
Here are some guidelines for this oneday<br />
effort intended to bring national<br />
focus to the issue of increasing<br />
pharmaceutical controlled substance<br />
abuse.<br />
• The program is anonymous.<br />
• Controlled, non-controlled, and<br />
over the counter substances may be<br />
dropped off.<br />
• All solid dosage pharmaceutical<br />
product and liquids in consumer<br />
containers, with the exception of<br />
chemotherapy drugs, may be<br />
accepted.<br />
• Liquid products, such as cough<br />
syrup, should remain sealed in their<br />
original container.<br />
• Prescription and over the counter<br />
solid dosage medications, e.g.<br />
tablets and capsules will be<br />
accepted.<br />
• Intravenous solutions, injectables,<br />
and syringes/needles will not be<br />
accepted due to potential hazard<br />
posed by blood-borne pathogens.<br />
• Illicit substances such as marijuana<br />
or methamphetamine are not a part<br />
of this initiative, but can be dropped<br />
off at the Police Department at any<br />
time for disposal.<br />

TRAIL ETIQUETTE<br />
— MIND YOUR<br />
MANNERS<br />
Just like dining in a fine restaurant,<br />
there is proper etiquette when using<br />
area trails. Though multi-use trail<br />
signs may vary in the way they look,<br />
the right-of-way is universal:<br />
bicyclists yield to everyone;<br />
pedestrians yield to horses<br />
(equestrians); equestrians yield to no<br />
one and always have the right-of-way.<br />
Pedestrians — of course it’s more<br />
fun to walk side-by-side to talk with<br />
your walking buddies than to walk<br />
single file, but please be aware that<br />
taking up the whole trail makes it<br />
difficult for bicyclists and equestrians<br />
to pass safely. Stay to the right and<br />
close to your walking partners.<br />
Equestrians — It is safest to ride<br />
single file, but as with pedestrians,<br />
many prefer to ride side-by-side to<br />
talk with friends. Be aware that two<br />
horses riding side-by-side take up a<br />
lot of trail space, making it difficult<br />
for others to pass safely. Trails in the<br />
Village are multi-use so you will<br />
encounter bicyclists and pedestrians;<br />
it is the rider’s responsibility to<br />
ensure that their horse is under<br />
control. Also keep in mind that<br />
many people are not familiar with<br />
horses and do not understand that<br />
that objects such as bikes and<br />
runners coming up behind them can<br />
scare your horse. Be courteous and<br />
notify pedestrians when passing.<br />
Horses should never be galloping on<br />
the High Line Canal Trail; always be<br />
held to a walk or trot.<br />
Bicyclists — bicyclists yield to both<br />
pedestrians and horses. Be courteous<br />
to other users, keep right when<br />
possible. Verbally alert others when<br />
you are approaching to pass; call out<br />
“on your left” or “on your right” as<br />
equestrians and pedestrians may not<br />
hear you approaching. The speed<br />
limit on Village trails is a maximum<br />
of 15 MPH, depending on<br />
conditions.<br />
Horses — Have you ever noticed a<br />
horse jump? Here’s why… horses are<br />
easily scared. In nature, horses are<br />
prey. Horses’ eyes are situated on the<br />
sides of their heads which causes<br />
objects to appear to jump from one<br />
side of their vision to the other. This<br />
can trigger the horse’s natural<br />
instinct to flee. Pedestrians be aware<br />
that if you get too close to a horse<br />
(closer than the horse’s leg length)<br />
you are in danger of getting kicked,<br />
especially if you are a surprise to the<br />
horse. When passing horses or<br />
coming toward horses, keep your<br />
dogs on a tight leash, not between<br />
you and the horse, but on the<br />
outside. Dogs sometimes tend to<br />
panic or jump at a horse if they are<br />
not used to seeing them. Lastly, don’t<br />
forget to use your voice by stating<br />
“on your left” instead of the ringers<br />
on your bicycle that will scare horses.<br />

DTC YOUNG PRO KATIE DOYLE<br />
SHINES THROUGH IN THIS<br />
POWERFUL DOCUMENTARY!<br />
Katie Doyle grew up in Greenwood Village, went to school at<br />
Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, double majored in<br />
Environmental Studies and Art. She moved back to Colorado<br />
and is now working for the Colorado Parks and Wildlife,<br />
educating students and getting them outdoors.<br />
Katie first came<br />
into the Young<br />
Pro’s group in<br />
DTC as a film<br />
liaison between young adults and a<br />
film company called Film Festival<br />
Flix that had monthly independent<br />
film showings at The Landmark.<br />
Katie has always loved the ocean and<br />
living in Colorado. She has a lot of<br />
longing for the ocean and made Land<br />
Locked Ocean with the hope that she<br />
would find a way to stay connected<br />
Katie Doyle to it. After some research Katie found<br />
the Colorado Ocean Coalition<br />
(COCO), based in Boulder. She contacted the founder, Vicki<br />
Nichols Goldstein, and she was very enthusiastic about<br />
helping her out and being interviewed. COCO was<br />
everything Katie was looking to find for this film and proof<br />
that there is a connection to the ocean here in Colorado.<br />
Vicki Nichols Goldstein being interviewed in the documentary.<br />
Katie and Jack Ganey made the short documentary together.<br />
They are both Young Professionals and have worked together<br />
on short films and freelance work in the past. Jack Ganey<br />
graduated from Montana State University with a degree in<br />
film. Jack’s editing skills really shine through in this<br />
documentary.<br />
The film was accepted into the Blue Ocean Film Festival and<br />
premiered in November 2016 during the festival in St.<br />
Petersburg.<br />

lunch? Do you need a<br />
relaxing spot to unwind?<br />
Have you wanted to find<br />

The Greenwood Village Café originally opened their doors in<br />
the Village in 2015. Charlie Reeves and Janice Hough have<br />
owned and operated this Village business since November<br />
2016. Charlie is a retired chef and Janice has years of<br />
restaurant management experience, both having a strong<br />
passion for cooking and eating. With the opening of the café<br />
they have now fulfilled their dream of owning their own<br />
restaurant.<br />
“We chose to conduct business in the Village because of the<br />
great location nestled within close proximity to the<br />
wonderful businesses of the Tech Center and within walking<br />
distance of Cherry Creek High School which is extremely<br />
convenient for high school students,” remarked Janice.<br />
Charlie and Janice strive to use locally sourced products<br />
whenever possible and to make everything in-house. From<br />
roasting turkey and beef onsite to baking all of the pastries<br />
themselves, all of their menu items are made to order to each<br />
and every customer’s taste.<br />
Their breakfast menu includes burritos, sandwiches, bagels,<br />
yogurt parfaits with granola, Kaladi Coffee and a delicious<br />
selection of house made breads. Selections at lunch include<br />
salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Pair up your lunch item with<br />
Boulder Chips, spicy slaw, potato salad, fresh fruit salad, soup<br />
or green chili.<br />
The Greenwood Village Café also provides catering for your<br />
next special event, business meeting or office party. You can<br />
choose between sandwich platters, buffet bars or buffet meals<br />
for either breakfast or lunch. They provide their standard<br />
catering choices, but their menu is customizable to fit all of<br />
your catering needs. A few examples are the poached salmon<br />
platter with cucumber dill sauce, the beef tenderloin platter<br />
