JOHN JACKSON 

APPOINTED AS CITY MANAGER 

As a result of Jim Sanderson’s retirement in October, the City 

Council and I are pleased to announce the appointment of 

our Police Chief John Jackson as our new City 

Manager. Many of you may recognize or 

interacted with John Jackson in some fashion as 

he served as our Police Chief since January 

2011. John was the sole finalist for the City 

Manager position. 

John Jackson was 

born and raised in 

Northeastern Iowa. 

He received his 

Bachelor’s Degree 

in Criminal Justice 

from Wartburg 

College in 

Waverly, Iowa and 

his Master’s Degree in 

Administration of Criminal 

Justice from Washburn

City Manager John Jackson 

University in Topeka, Kansas. Jackson has more than 29 years 

of police service including experience in most all positions 

and ranks of a municipal police department up to and 

including serving as the Chief of Police in both rural and 

urban cities in the State of Colorado. John is a graduate from 

the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Academy, the 

FBI’s Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar, and 

held leadership positions with the Colorado Chiefs of Police 

Association including its Presidency. John is currently an 

adjunct professor at Fort Hays State University as well as the 

University of Denver. 

The Village is very fortunate to have someone with John’s 

expertise and experience on staff and the City Council was 

very impressed by his ability to work with people and his 

passion to get things done. He has an excellent track record 

with our citizens and is highly respected in the Denver 

region. His experience will contribute to a smooth transition 

and continue to ensure progress for our great Village.

or email jjackson@greenwoodvillage.com. 

DUSTIN VARNEY 

APPOINTED AS POLICE CHIEF 

My tenure with our Police Department started when I 

appeared as a spokesman in Public Service Announcements 

on behalf of our Police Department 

in the late ’90s. That was followed 

by my service on GVPD Assessment 

Centers to Sergeant and Lieutenant 

(including Varney’s to Sergeant). My 

interaction with law enforcement 

began after law school as a lecturer 

and administrator for a police officer 

accreditation agency and working 

with local law enforcement and the 

FBI in Florida and California during 

my Air Force career. Early this year 

the Governor appointed me to the Police Chief 

elected official position on the Dustin Varney 

Colorado Peace Officer Standards Training Board. It is 

because of the aforementioned background that I believe I 

have a solid foundation upon which to comment on Dustin 

Varney’s appointment as Chief of Police. 

Dustin has been with the Village since 1994 and has held 

several leadership positions in the Police Department. I have 

known Dustin Varney for 23 years. Among all those I have 

known in Law Enforcement NONE has had greater personal 

integrity or respect for our United States and Colorado 

Constitutions and their implementing statutes and 

interpreting case law than Dustin. It is my assessment that he 

is perceived as fair as a supervisor by his subordinates and a 

“Cop’s Cop,” City Manager Jackson stated that his selection 

of Commander Varney to serve as Police Chief was nothing 

other than purposeful since Dustin has been groomed for this 

role for a long period of time. We strongly believe he is the 

perfect person for this very important position. 

As a citizen of Greenwood Village, you will enjoy your 

interactions with Police Chief Varney. He is well respected by 

citizens and staff, and has a great passion for ensuring the 

safety of the Village community. Please feel free to contact 

him should you have any questions about the Police 

Department at 303-486-8266 or email 

dvarney@greenwoodvillage.com.

unprecedented views and increased property values of Village 

neighborhoods. There is an added benefit resulting from the 

upgrade of the system in that it replaces parts of the grid 

system dating from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s. 

Work is near completion on the Orchard Road 

Undergrounding project. The project consists of 

undergrounding of approximately 6,400 linear feet of 

overhead power lines located on the Greenwood Village / 

Centennial jurisdictional boundary along East Orchard Road 

from South Colorado Boulevard to South Quebec Street. The 

project is funded through the Xcel Undergrounding Program, 

with a 50/50 cost share between Greenwood Village and 

Centennial. Installation of the new underground facilities 

with utility pole removal and final landscape restoration will 

be completed later this fall or early winter, weather 

permitting. 

To date, the Village has undergrounded approximately 

57,000 linear feet of utility lines… that equates to over 10 

miles of power lines at a value of more than $6 million. 

CURTIS CENTER 

RENOVATIONS COMPLETE 

The little red brick schoolhouse, known as the Curtis School, 

has been a focal point in the community for more than one 

hundred years. Beginning in the early 1900s through 1967, 

Curtis School was the place where educational and social

in the community. Today the 

tradition lives on as Curtis School, 

now the Curtis Center for the Arts, 

continues to provide the community 

with educational and social 

opportunities for both children and 

adults. 

In an effort to ensure the Curtis 

Center continues to fulfill its mission 

for our community, the Center 

underwent renovations earlier this 

summer to better serve its clients. 

Improvements included construction 

of restrooms and a conference room 

on the main level; additional storage, 

improved ADA (American’s with 

Disability Act) accessibility, and 

renovation of the existing restrooms on 

the lower level. Additionally, the 

interior of the Center was treated with 

fresh paint, and a new roof was 

installed.

OUR SHOES 

WERE MADE 

FOR WALKING 

On October 4, Greenwood 

Village partnered with 

students of Greenwood Elementary to 

participate in this year’s annual Walk 

to School Day that began at Koebel 

Library. Greenwood Village promotes 

the annual Walk to School Day to 

encourage children and adults of all 

ages to walk or bike to school and 

other destinations. Walking or 

bicycling can improve the overall 

health of people, improve air quality 

and the environment by reducing car 

trips, and create safer routes for 

bicyclists and pedestrians. 

TRI-OUR-VILLAGE 

We hosted our 10th annual Tri-Our- 

Village, a youth triathlon held at the 

Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club. 

The popular event includes a race at 

the Club’s pool, followed by a bicycle 

ride down Running Fox Park and 

ending in Westlands Park. The run, 

the third leg of the race, was 

completed around the pond south of 

the park.

NEW FIRE STATION 

AT ORCHARD AND 

QUEBEC UNDERWAY 

Planning for a new fire station at 

Orchard Road and Quebec Street has 

been ongoing for several years and 

finally the time for action has arrived! 

I am excited to report that South 

Metro Fire Rescue Station 32, located 

at 5945 S. Quebec Street at East 

Orchard will undergo a major facelift 

with construction of a new station. 

The current station was opened in 

1977. Since that time, calls for service 

have increased, and the new station 

will help meet existing and future 

service demands. 

The project includes replacing the 

5,972 square foot existing station with 

a new 21,725 square 

foot building 

containing four 

apparatus bays, the 

capacity to accommodate 

12 firefighters, 

a training room, fitness 

facilities, SCBA air 

bottle fill station and 

other support areas. I 

also note that the small

MAKING A difference 

2018 BUDGET 

WHAT DOES THE 

BUDGET SAY ABOUT 

THE VILLAGE’S 

FINANCIAL CONDITION? 

This past October, City Council 

adopted the 2018 Annual Operating 

and Capital Improvement Budget. 

The primary purpose of the Village’s 

Budget and budgetary process is to 

develop, adopt and implement a 

fiscally sound and sustainable plan to 

accomplish the established goals of 

the upcoming year, while remaining 

consistent with the long-term vision 

of the community. Development of 

the 2018 Annual Operating & 

Capital Improvement Budget 

focused on maintaining the existing 

levels of service, reinvesting in the 

infrastructure of the community, 

and ensuring the financial health 

of the organization without the 

addition of new taxes or issuance of 

debt. 

WHERE DOES THE 

MONEY COME FROM? 

The Village receives revenue from 

several sources. Taxes and assessments 

represent the largest category, 

accounting for more than 80% of all 

Village revenue. Other sources 

include intergovernmental revenues 

comprised of sources which are 

collected and shared with the Village 

by other governments, as well as 

federal, state and/or county grants, 

the sale of various licenses and 

permits, user charges and fees 

intended to offset certain costs, 

punitive fines and forfeitures for the 

commission of minor crimes, and 

lastly, investment earnings and 

miscellaneous revenues. For 2018, the

VICTIM ADVOCATES NEEDED 

IN POLICE DEPARTMENT 

The Greenwood Village Police Department is 

currently accepting applications for citizen volunteers 

who would like to serve as victim advocates. Victim 

Advocates provide 24 hours a day, 7 days a week 

support and crisis response to victims of crime and 

persons involved in traumatic events. Victim 

Advocates may respond to crime scenes, hospitals or 

the police department to assist people in need. 

Victim Advocates are trained to provide crisis intervention and short-term support 

to victims of crime and people impacted by a traumatic event. Additionally, 

advocates can supply information on victim rights, victim compensation and 

referrals to agencies within the community. Victim Advocate volunteers should have 

a proactive attitude, excellent communication skills, be compassionate, and have the 

ability to speak effectively to victims in crisis while maintaining a calm presence. 

This is a trusted and sensitive, but highly rewarding position. 

Training for volunteers will be provided by the Greenwood Village Police 

Department in collaboration with the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. The 

training includes approximately 50 hours of instruction, beginning in January 2018, 

with specific dates and times to be announced soon. 

Following training, volunteers will be required to attend monthly meetings/ 

trainings held on the first working Monday evening of each month. Advocates will 

be required to sign up for two 12 hour on-call shifts each month. All applicants will 

be required to attend all trainings before graduating to assist victims. 

For more information or to request an application please contact Melissa Madsen, 

Victim Advocate Coordinator at mmadsen@greenwoodvillage.com or call 

303-486-8211. Applications must be received by December 1, 2017 to be 

considered for the January Victim Advocate Volunteer Academy. GV 


GOVERNMENT 

GET READY FOR winter 

GREENWOOD VILLAGE IS 

READY FOR THE SNOW SEASON 

The Village is ready for the snow season. The Snow and Ice 

Program assures roadways and trails are safe and accessible 

during and after snow events. Snow and Ice operations 

consist of three elements: snow plowing, application of 

materials for traction and ice control, and snow and/or ice 

removal if safety or accessibility have been jeopardized. 

ROADWAYS 

All roadways in the Village are classified into either first or 

second priority. The first priority routes include the high 

volume roadways that connect major sections of the 

community, all school bus routes and residential roadways 

which connect the neighborhood to higher volume roadways. 

Heavy snow accumulations may require repeated passes over 

first priority roadways before second priority roadways are 

plowed. Operations are repeated until the storm stops and all 

roadway surfaces are cleared. 

Snow and ice control operations begin in secondary areas 

(residential neighborhoods) after first priority roadways have 

been cleared. Snow is plowed and piled to an area that does 

not block traffic flow. Snow cannot be piled in the center of 

the roadway because thaw/freeze conditions will cause ice on 

the roadway. Residential roadways are not plowed from edge 

to edge to avoid covering sidewalks or blocking driveways. 

Removal of snow piles will only occur when safety or 

accessibility has been jeopardized. If possible, remove 

vehicles from the roadways during storms for better clearing 

of snow. 

RESIDENTIAL SIDEWALKS 

AND DRIVEWAYS 

The law in Greenwood Village requires all residents to remove 

snow and ice from their sidewalks within 48-hours and 

businesses to remove snow and ice from their sidewalks within 

24-hours after accumulation. This requirement also includes 

removal of snow and ice from sidewalks in the front and side 

of a residence (corner lots). This requirement does not extend 

to walkways leading from the sidewalk to the residence nor to 

sidewalks or trails abutting the rear property of a residence. 

Clearing snow around mailboxes is also the responsibility of 

the occupant. 

ICE MITIGATION 

There are certain locations in Village neighborhoods that are 

prone to ice formation due to shade or poor drainage. Once ice 

forms, it is difficult to remove without damage to equipment or 

infrastructure. Be on the look-out for snow and ice operators 

moving snow piles from the shade to sun-exposed locations in 

order to minimize ice build-up. 

SNOW SHIFT HOURS 

Village personnel who perform road and park maintenance 

during the summer months conduct snow and ice control 

operations in the winter. A weather service and two remote 

weather information stations provide up-to-the-minute 

information regarding weather conditions. Snow shifts are 

activated when a snowstorm begins. The typical shift hours 

are 5 a.m. to 1 p.m., 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., 

all days of the week, including holidays. 

EQUIPMENT 

The Village owns and maintains a variety of vehicles to 

ensure effective snow and ice control operations. Equipment 

includes 12 plow trucks, one anti-icing truck, one slide-in 

tanker, one grader, and one loader for snow and ice 

operations on roadways. In addition, there are three ATVs 

(All-Terrain Vehicles), six pickup trucks with plows and many 

hand-held snowblowers and shovels used to clear the trails, 

sidewalks and parking lots. In order to assure that all 

equipment is operational, mechanics are available at all times 

during snow storms to handle any equipment problems. 

USE CAUTION WHEN DRIVING 

NEAR SNOWPLOWS 

When driving near a snowplow, slow down and use caution. 

Give plow drivers plenty of room so they can do their job 

efficiently and safely. 

MATERIALS 

The Village applies solid and liquid materials for traction and 

ice control to improve traveling conditions during snow and 

ice events. Staff monitors each storm to determine the 

appropriate application of materials depending on the 

weather conditions. Additionally, materials are continually 

evaluated to identify the most effective products with the 

least amount of environmental impact. 

CONCRETE/ASPHALT TRAILS, 

SIDEWALKS AND PARKING LOTS 

The Village plows snow from concrete and asphalt trails, and 

some sidewalks and parking lots. First priority trails are 


GOVERNMENT 

those leading to and from schools. The parking lot at Village 

Greens Park is the responsibility of the Village along with 

snow control operations on sidewalks and parking lots at 

City Hall, Curtis Arts & Humanities Center and the 

Maintenance Facility. The parking lots of these facilities also 

first priority for snow plowing and are cleared 

simultaneously with the first priority trails. The parking lots 

in other Village owned parks are then cleared. During the 

average snowstorm, it takes about eight hours to clear trails, 

sidewalks and parking lots. Crews often start as early as 4 

a.m. Trail crews periodically check trails for problem areas if 

the temperature remains below freezing for extended periods 

of time.

SNOW AND ICE ISSUES

STEP CAREFULLY 

Thaw/freeze conditions can cause new ice on trails, sidewalks 

and parking lots; always use caution when walking on these 

during periods of freezing weather.

PROJECT UPDATES 

LONG ROAD 

RECONSTRUCTION 

The purpose of the Long Road 

Reconstruction Project is to 

reconstruct a corridor that was 

originally paved in 1972. In addition 

to the pavement reconstruction, the 

project scope involves upgrading the 

storm sewer system, replacing a 

Southgate waterline main, pedestrian 

safety improvements and 

undergrounding the overhead power 

lines. The work, which began in April, 

will continue into December under 

the current closure condition. Long 

Road will reopen in December, 

however, work will continue through 

the winter months into the late Spring 

of 2018. 

Due to winter weather conditions, 

paving and landscaping will be 

suspended until the spring of 2018. As 

weather permits through the winter, 

the contractor will continue with 

utility and grading activities during 

non-rush hour periods with one way 

flagging operations. 

When paving and landscaping 

resumes, it is anticipated to take two 

months to complete. While there may 

be short-term weekend closures 

necessary to perform the remaining 

activities in the spring, no long-term 

closures of Long Road are planned. 

Several unplanned underground utility 

conflicts required modifications to the 

alignment of the new water line and 

the new storm sewer. Unfortunately, 

these modifications have caused delays 

to the completion date of the project. 

While these type of utility conflicts are 

not uncommon to encounter during 

construction of a project of this size 

and scope, the tight timeline to 

complete all of the work and then 

perform the final paving before winter 

was not accomplished. 

The map shows the anticipated status 

of the project as of the December road 

opening date. For additional project 

information, please visit the project 

website at longroadconstruction.com 

or contact John Wannigman, Project 

Manager, at jwannigman@greenwood 

village.com or at 303-708-6139. 

HOLLY STREET 

INTERSECTIONS 

Work is complete for the Holly Street 

Intersection project with the exception 

of the landscape walls along the west 

side of the new walk at the Powers and 

Prentice intersections. These walls were 

added to the project to improve the 

transition from the new walk to the 

existing grades at the landscape 

entrances into the Preserve subdivision 

and are anticipated to be done in 

November. 

The project scope includes 

rehabilitating the three degraded 

intersections at Powers, Berry and 

Prentice that were originally 

constructed in 2000. The project 

consisted of placing an “unbonded 

concrete overlay” on top of the 

existing concrete intersections at 

Powers and Berry. This innovative 

solution required less closure time 

while still achieving the high quality 

colored and stamped concrete look 

desired by the community. 

For additional project information, 

please contact John Wannigman, 

Project Manager, at

or at 303-708-6139. 

BELLEVIEW AND HOLLY 

TURN LANE 

The construction work at Belleview 

and Holly, which occurred during the 

late summer of this year, was for the 

installation of a northbound right turn 

lane. The purpose of the project is to 

help alleviate the delays that 

northbound traffic experienced at the 

intersection. The roadway work was 

completed at the end of August and 

crews were able to work around the 

school hours to minimize the impacts 

on traffic. The landscaping work is 

currently being completed. The traffic 

signal upgrade will occur in 2018 in 

coordination with the Colorado

TAKE THE WINTER CHILL OFF 

WITH HOT REBATE SAVINGS 

Cooler temperatures mean it’s time to turn on the heat. If you 

need a new furnace, consider a high-efficiency model to save 

money on energy bills and get $300-$400 in rebates from Xcel 

Energy. Improve your insulation and air sealing and the rebates 

can reach over $1,000. 

What’s so great about a high-efficiency furnace? 

• It provides a more consistent temperature and greater 

comfort. 

• It helps your AC system work more efficiently, kind of like 

having new lungs for your new heart — a matched system 

works most efficiently. 

• 95% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) means only 

5% of fuel is unused. Less waste is good for the planet.

High-efficiency water heaters are another great way to save 

energy and money because water heaters typically consume 

half of the energy in your home. Xcel Energy offers rebates of 

up to $450 on qualifying water heater models.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE 

CITIZENS’ POLICE ACADEMY 

The Greenwood Village Citizens’ Police Academy is an 

important component of community involvement and citizen 

outreach. Its purpose is to provide a forum whereby 

participants can develop a basic understanding of how the 

Police Department functions. It will also provide 

opportunities for ongoing communication between members 

of the community and the Police Department. 

The Citizens’ Police Academy occurs annually and meets 

Thursday nights from 6 to 9 p.m., and two optional 

Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Greenwood Village 

City Hall located at 6060 South Quebec Street. 

Each three-hour session covers a variety of subjects ranging 

from basic law enforcement and its role in the community to 

discussions and demonstrations with other specialized units: 

Emergency Response Team (ERT), K-9 Unit, Crisis 

Intervention Team, Traffic Safety Unit, Investigations and 

School Resource Officers. The sessions are very interactive 

with police officers and several sessions will have hands-on 

activities such as high-risk traffic stops and use of less-thanlethal 

weapons. During each session, you will be able to ask 

questions and interact with police officers and Academy 

instructors. 

As an Academy participant, you will receive a comprehensive 

behind-the-scenes tour of the Police Department, including 

the 9-1-1 Communications Center. Upon successful

DEADLINE EXTENDED 

The deadline to drop off leaves in Village Greens Park has been 

extended to Sunday, November 12. You can dispose of all those 

piles of fall leaves in an environmentally friendly way by taking 

loose or bagged leaves to the dedicated area of the north 

parking lot in Village Greens Park any day of the week. Village 

staff add the material as a soil amendment to help establish 

native grasses by adding nutrients, helping retain moisture and 

providing a place for soil bore microorganisms to live. 

Please do not sweep leaves or grass clippings into the street, 

as our sweepers are not equipped to pick up large piles of 

leaves and debris. For more information, please contact Public 

Works at 303-708-6100. 

completion of the Citizens’ Police Academy, each participant 

and his or her family are invited to attend the graduation 

ceremony and dinner. 

An integral component of the Academy is the participation 

in a police patrol ride along. This will be scheduled to take 

place outside the class time at a mutually convenient time for 

staff and participants. This experience is important in 

creating a true understanding of what an officer’s job is like 

and contributes to an exciting, interactive learning 

experience. 

The next Greenwood Village Citizens’ Police Academy will 

begin on Thursday, February 22, 2018, and continue 

through Thursday, May 10, 2018. The two Saturday sessions 

are April 7, 2018, and May 5, 2018. Citizens’ Academy 

application forms are available at the Police Department 

6060 South Quebec Street. The Academy Coordinator will 

contact you to confirm your selection to participate. 

Potential candidates must 

• Be at least 18 years old; 

• Have no felony convictions; 

• And have no misdemeanor convictions within one year of 

application. 

Any requirement may be waived or modified upon review 

and approval by the Police Chief. 

The Academy is free of charge and open to anyone, not just 

residents of Greenwood Village. For more information,

Delicious food, outstanding 

customer service and ongoing 

creativity are attributes of Chickfil-A

Greenwood Village and the 

surrounding community. Chickfil-A 

offers a variety of delicious 

items ranging from their classic 

chicken sandwiches to grilled

Meet Craig Goettsche, Franchised 

Restaurant Operator of Chick-fil- 

A in the Village. Starting a career 

with Chick-fil-A at the age of 15, 

Craig knows the industry inside 

and out. A proud husband and 

father of four, Craig relocated 

from California to Colorado when 

the location in the Village became 

available. Craig selected the 

Village due to the excellent school 

system and the Village’s heavy 

focus on community involvement. 

Craig has been operating the

way to make a difference. Known 

as “Spirit Night,” the Chick-fil-A

local schools or non-profit 

organizations to visit the 

restaurant on a designated evening 

of choice. Profits from the sales 

benefit the hosted organization.

as “the ultimate low-cost, noeffort 

fundraiser!” and opens its 

doors to many Greenwood Village 

fundraising organizations. They 

always enjoy being the host for 

events that benefit the 

community. Celebrity Autograph 

Night has been one of the popular 

and fun events. Chick-fil-A in 

Greenwood Village is always 

looking to host fun events that

ALL COLORADO 

ART SHOW 

On Saturday October 14 over 300 art 

lovers packed the Curtis Center for the Arts 

to celebrate two special occasions. First was 

the opening reception for the 34th Annual 

All Colorado Art Show. The show features 

over 50 artists in all mediums and subject 

matters. This year artists were asked to 

present a piece that addresses why they live 

and create in Colorado. The exhibit 

highlights some of Colorado’s finest 

working artists. The works will be on 

display through December 23. 

Attendees had another reason to celebrate 

with the recent remodeling of the Curtis 

Center. This summer the art center made 

some major updates to the building. In 

addition to the new bathrooms on the 

main level, the lower level bathrooms were 

overhauled, additional storage space was 

added and the Center made upgrades to 

make it more ADA compliant to provide 

an even better customer experience. Come 

see the exhibit and the fresh new space.
