2019 BUDGET<br />

WORKSHOP WITH<br />

CITY COUNCIL<br />

On September 28, 2018, the City Council held<br />

their annual Budget Retreat with the<br />

City Manager and staff to review the<br />

Mayor and City Manager’s proposed<br />

Annual Operating and Capital<br />

Improvement Program (CIP) Budget<br />

for the 2019 fiscal year. The primary<br />

purpose of the Village’s Budget and<br />

budgetary process is to develop,<br />

adopt and implement a fiscally<br />

sound and sustainable plan to<br />

accomplish the established goals of<br />

Ron Rakowsky<br />

303-486-5741<br />

the upcoming year, while remaining<br />

consistent with the long-term vision of the<br />

community.<br />

The Village’s Budget is composed of an<br />

operating budget, which details expenditures for<br />

the upcoming year, and a capital budget, which shows the<br />

financial plans for current and long-term capital<br />

improvements, facilities, and equipment. Additionally,<br />

revenue streams collected by the Village are often restricted<br />

for specific purposes, as determined by existing laws and/or<br />

regulations. Development of the 2019 Annual Operating &<br />

Capital Improvement Budget focused on maintaining the<br />

existing levels of service, reinvesting in the infrastructure of<br />

the community, and ensuring the financial health of the<br />

organization without the addition of new taxes or issuance of<br />

debt.<br />

The Village receives revenue from several sources. Taxes and<br />

assessments represent the largest category accounting for<br />

more than 80% of all Village revenue. Other sources include<br />

intergovernmental revenues comprised of sources which are<br />

collected and shared with the Village by other governments,<br />

as well as federal, state and/or county grants, the issuance of<br />

various licenses and permits, user charges and fees intended<br />

RAMBLE WITH RON<br />

Due to the fall and winter seasons, Ramble with Ron will be<br />

suspended until the spring. If you have some ideas or<br />

suggestions about living or working in Greenwood Village that<br />

you would like to share with Mayor Ron Rakowsky, send him<br />

an email at rakowsky@greenwoodvillage.com or call the<br />

Mayor’s Office at 303-486-5745.<br />

to offset certain costs, punitive fines and forfeitures for the<br />

commission of minor crimes, and lastly, investment earnings<br />

and miscellaneous revenues.<br />

You can learn more about the proposed 2019 Budget online<br />

Director, at 303-486-8290 or email<br />

CARSON SKATEPARK<br />

EXPANSION GRAND OPENING<br />

The ribbon cutting ceremony and grand opening celebration<br />

for the Carson Skatepark expansion was held on Saturday,<br />

September 8, in William McKinley Carson Park.<br />

Approximately 200 people gathered to enjoy giveaways and<br />

snacks and to try out the new skatepark. The 4,000 squarefoot<br />

addition to the existing skatepark, which was built in<br />

2001, added street features such as boxes, a textured bank<br />

wall and rails.<br />

For the past several years, skatepark users have expressed their<br />

desire for street features, making this expansion initiative a<br />

real grassroots effort. Seventy-five members of the<br />

community attended a public meeting to show support for<br />

the project and to give their input to the designer/builder,<br />

Team Pain, regarding the main features they would like<br />

added to the skatepark.<br />

The Carson Skatepark Expansion Project was made possible<br />

through Greenwood Village Capital Improvement Program<br />

funds, a grant from Arapahoe County Open Spaces and a<br />

generous donation from the Deutsch family in memory of<br />

their son Andrew.<br />

HALLOWEEN SAFETY<br />

With Halloween approaching, the Village wants everyone to<br />

have a safe holiday. Halloween is one of the most thrilling<br />

nights of the year for children, and also one of the most<br />

dangerous nights for child pedestrians. Darting out into the<br />

street is one of<br />

the most<br />

frequent causes<br />

of pedestrian<br />

injuries among<br />

children. As<br />

children scurry<br />

from house to<br />

house collecting<br />

treats, it is<br />

important for<br />

parents and<br />

children to take<br />

precautions. (You<br />

GVPD School Resource Officer Rodney<br />

Valenzuela with children of Bright<br />

Beginnings Pre-School.<br />

can read about<br />

Halloween Safety<br />

Tips on page 10.)<br />

The Village Police Department will have extra police officers<br />

on duty in the community monitoring safety and traffic<br />

procedures to ensure that everyone has a safe Halloween.<br />

Officers will distribute glow sticks to children so they can see<br />

better in the dark, as well as be more visible to motorists.<br />

Please feel free to ask an officer if you need assistance or have<br />

any questions. Their goal is to ensure everyone makes it<br />

home safely.<br />

GET YOUR XCEL<br />

ENERGY REBATES<br />

I wanted to be sure you were<br />

aware of some things that keep<br />

you warm and comfortable this<br />

winter that can keep cash in your pockets for winters to<br />

come. Don’t pay more than you have to this winter so make<br />

sure to take advantage of furnace, insulation and water heater<br />

rebates provided by Xcel Energy.<br />

Xcel Energy has up to $1,900 in rebates on high-efficiency<br />

furnaces, insulation upgrades, and water heaters. To learn<br />

FALL IS HERE…<br />

LET THE HOME IMPROVEMENT<br />

PROJECTS CONTINUE…<br />

As Fall approaches, you may be thinking about doing a home<br />

improvement project indoors. Here’s what you need to know<br />

before beginning your project.<br />

Q: What projects require a building permit?<br />

A: A permit is generally required for any new building,<br />

addition, alteration, repair, change in use of an existing<br />

building or structure, site improvements, some landscaping,<br />

outdoor living amenities including patios, fire pits, hot tubs,<br />

swimming pools, outdoor kitchens, decks, pergolas and water<br />

Residential dwelling unit examples may include re-roof,<br />

interior remodel, window replacement, water heater<br />

replacement, fences, basement finish, decks, patio covers and<br />

other similar finish work.<br />

Q: Why do I need a permit?<br />

community by ensuring that all construction is completed<br />

consistent with safety standards. The permit process assures<br />

GOVERNMENT<br />

Village’s Use Tax and 0.25% is designated to Arapahoe<br />

County Open Space Tax. The estimated tax due is 3.25% of<br />

60% of the cost of construction. The first $3,500 of building<br />

material is exempt. Tax-exempt entities such as government<br />

agencies and religious and charitable organizations are<br />

exempt from the building materials use tax.<br />

the appropriate use of land through the enforcement of<br />

zoning ordinance and the safety of residents through<br />

enforcement of the building codes.<br />

Q: What types of drawings, plans, site plans, or other<br />

paper work are required?<br />

A: Please contact the Community Development Department<br />

for specific submission requirements. Small, simple projects<br />

require minimum documentation. Larger projects require<br />

more detailed information.<br />

Q: I have a Home Owners Association. Will they need to<br />

be contacted for approval?<br />

A: You should contact your HOA to understand their review<br />

process. Your permit application to the City of Greenwood<br />

Village is independent from the HOA approval process.<br />

Q: When should I apply for a permit?<br />

A: Please submit your building permit application to the<br />

Community Development Department before you begin any<br />

work. We recommend you have a complete understanding of<br />

your HOA requirements before submitting your permit<br />

application.<br />

Q: How long will the permitting process take?<br />

A: The Community Development Department works quickly<br />

to respond to your permit application. For example,<br />

complete submissions for residential re-roof, landscape or<br />

interior remodel permits are usually reviewed within three<br />

business days. Residential decks or additions are generally<br />

reviewed within five business days.<br />

Q: How much will the building permit cost?<br />

A: Permit fees are calculated based upon the valuation of the<br />

proposed project. Building fees include a permit fee, a plan<br />

review fee and building materials use tax. All fees are paid<br />

prior to the issuance of the building permit.<br />

Q: How is Building Materials Use Tax calculated?<br />

A: Building materials use tax is calculated based on the<br />

valuation of the proposed project, which includes the total<br />

cost of the project, including building materials, labor,<br />

overhead expenses, and profit.<br />

The building materials use tax is 3.25%, of which 3% is the<br />

Q: How Do I Choose the Right Contractor?<br />

A: You don’t want your home improvement repairs to lead to<br />

despair. To protect yourself from home improvement fraud,<br />

only do business with local and well established businesses.<br />

Never do business with someone who shows up uninvited on<br />

your doorstep. Never allow anyone into your home that you<br />

do not know and trust. Report any suspicious visitors to your<br />

home to the Greenwood Village Police Department at<br />

303-773-2525.<br />

All contractors who are hired to perform construction<br />

activities in the Village are required to be licensed and<br />

provide proof of necessary insurance. All permits issued by<br />

the Village Building Division will be issued on letter-sized<br />

yellow paper. The permit is required to be on the job site at<br />

all times to enable inspectors to document their review of the<br />

contractor’s work.<br />

Get a written contract spelling out what work will be done,<br />

what materials will be used, what it will cost and when work<br />

will start and when it will be completed. Verify that the<br />

contractor has proof of licenses, workmen’s compensation<br />

and liability insurance before any work begins on your home.<br />

Have yourself listed as an additional insured on the<br />

contractor’s policy. GV<br />

CONTRACTORS WITH NO<br />

BUILDING PERMITS<br />

Residents should be aware that some homeowners may be<br />

paying their contractors for building permits for their projects,<br />

but the contractors may not be obtaining the necessary permits<br />

to complete the project. Without a building permit, residents<br />

will not receive the benefits of code compliance inspections to<br />

ensure the project was constructed safely.<br />

All building permits through the Village will be issued on lettersized<br />

yellow paper. The permit is required to be on the job site<br />

at all times to enable inspectors to document their review of the<br />

contractor’s work. Homeowners having remodel work done<br />

should always request to see the permit prior to allowing<br />

construction to begin. You may also contact the Building<br />

Division at any time to ask if a permit has been issued for your<br />

project.<br />

GOVERNMENT<br />

ENSURING A SAFE<br />

community<br />

The Greenwood Village Police Department works to protect residents and businesses from crime, but to effectively sustain a crime-free<br />

environment requires an active, engaged, and aware community. Remember — the most important single act you can do is to be aware of<br />

your surroundings at all times and call the Police to report crimes or suspicious activities! As an observer, if the situation doesn’t look or<br />

feel right, it probably is not. By going with your instincts, your actions could help deter a crime in progress or save the life of a neighbor.<br />

HALLOWEEN<br />

SAFETY TIPS<br />

For Kids<br />

• Never go into a stranger’s house or<br />

crossing. Cross only at intersections<br />

and crosswalks.<br />

where you are going and who you<br />

are going with.<br />

• Decorate costumes, bags and sacks<br />

with reflective tape and stickers.<br />

wearing a mask, make sure the eye<br />

holes are large enough to clearly see<br />

through.<br />

• If your child will be attending a<br />

Halloween Party, make sure that<br />

you have met the parents and know<br />

what kinds of activities will be<br />

taking place at the party.<br />

• Teach your children not to speak to<br />

strangers or get into strangers cars.<br />

service, meeting or activity, or a school-sponsored meeting or activity; or<br />

• the minor is conducting an emergency errand directed by his or her parent,<br />

guardian or other person 21 years of age or older having the care or custody of the<br />

minor.<br />

For more information, please call the Police Department at 303-773-2525.<br />

• Children should always go out<br />

Trick-or-Treating accompanied by a<br />

responsible adult.<br />

• Let your child know not to cut<br />

through back alleys and fields, and<br />

stay in well lighted areas with lots<br />

of people around.<br />

• Instruct your child not to eat any<br />

treats until parents can inspect them.<br />

• Slow down in residential<br />

neighborhoods.<br />

• Obey all traffic signs and signals<br />

• Watch for children walking in the<br />

bus which has stopped and has activated its red flashing<br />

lights, is required to stop the vehicle. Drivers do not need<br />

to stop for a school bus upon meeting or passing a school<br />

bus which is on a different roadway. School bus drivers are<br />

authorized to report violators to the appropriate law<br />

enforcement agency who may issue a citation on the basis<br />

of the information provided.<br />

• Remember that the sun can obscure your vision any<br />

time of the year. Use visors and sunglasses to reduce glare<br />

and make it easier to see pedestrians.<br />

• Pedestrians once in a crosswalk have the right of way.<br />

If you maintain a safe speed for conditions and foot traffic<br />

you should have plenty of time to slow down and stop<br />

safely.<br />

• When the traffic lights go to yellow is the time to slow<br />

down and prepare to stop. Please don’t drive to beat the<br />

lights; they are timed based on the speed limits and traffic.<br />

When you rush one light you often just get stopped at the<br />

next one.<br />

• Be patient, be aware. Many people are not in these<br />

hurried times. Make sure the intersection is clear of people<br />

and traffic before going ahead, even if you do have a green<br />

light.<br />

• Right on Red. Where allowed and not all intersections are<br />

clear for right on red, the car at the red light does not<br />

have the right of way. Cars turning on arrows, or going<br />

with the flow of traffic always have the right of way.<br />

For more information on rules for drivers in school zones,<br />

please call the Police Department at 303-773-2525. GV<br />

COLSMAN TUNNEL<br />

REHAB PROJECT<br />

BEGINS IN<br />

OCTOBER<br />

Southgate Sanitation District will<br />

begin work on the Colsman Tunnel<br />

Rehabilitation Project in <strong>October</strong>.<br />

The project consists of rehabilitating<br />

an existing 1.5-mile long sewer tunnel<br />

by pulling a new, 48-inch diameter<br />

plastic pipe through the tunnel. The<br />

new pipe is made of high density<br />

polyethylene (HDPE) and the joints<br />

will be fused together, making it one<br />

solid piece of pipe through the entire<br />

length of the tunnel.<br />

The contractor established work sites<br />

at two locations to pull the pipe in<br />

place — one at the entrance of the<br />

tunnel and the other at the exit of the<br />

tunnel. One work site (the “east<br />

portal”) will be located at Southgate’s<br />

offices near East Orchard Road and<br />

South Jackson Street. The second work<br />

site (the “west portal”) will be located<br />

on the south side of East Orchard<br />

Road between South Ogden Court<br />

and South Humboldt Court.<br />

The schedule for the work will be:<br />

<strong>October</strong> 2018- May 2019 for tunnel<br />

rehabilitation work at the west portal.<br />

<strong>October</strong> 2018- November 2019 for<br />

tunnel rehabilitation work and site<br />

Regular impacts to traffic are not<br />

expected at the east portal since work<br />

will occur on Southgate’s property and<br />

adjacent sewer easements. Traffic<br />

impacts are expected to be minor,<br />

infrequent, and relating to equipment<br />

and material deliveries.<br />

Although this is not a Village project,<br />

the Village will actively work with<br />

Southgate to manage communications<br />

to ensure residents are informed<br />

during the project through the<br />

<strong>Newsletter</strong>, website and social<br />

media. GV<br />

improvements at the east portal<br />

Traffic impacts will occur near the<br />

west portal:<br />

• Lane closures on E. Orchard Road<br />

from S. Ogden Court to S.<br />

Humboldt Court will be required<br />

with approved traffic plans by<br />

Centennial and Greenwood Village<br />

• E. Orchard Road will be<br />

temporarily re-striped to maintain<br />

2-way traffic, shifted to the north<br />

• S. Cherrywood Circle will be closed<br />

at E. Orchard Road and traffic will<br />

be detoured to S. Clarkson Street<br />

TAKE note<br />

LEAF REMOVAL<br />

As we enter into the fall season,<br />

keeping Greenwood Village clean will<br />

continue to be a priority. To assist with<br />

these activities, we ask that you do not<br />

place loose leaves or yard debris in the<br />

street as our sweepers are not equipped<br />

to pick up large piles of leaves.<br />

Moreover, this debris can be wind<br />

blown or inappropriately washed into<br />

the storm systems and waterways of<br />

the Village. Instead, please look to<br />

other options to dispose of this debris.<br />

• Arrange for your lawn care provider<br />

to remove the leaves when<br />

performing your yard service.<br />

• Bag your leaves in compostable<br />

paper yard waste bags and place<br />

them out with your weekly trash<br />

pick up. These bags of leaves will<br />

end up in the landfill and paper is<br />

preferred over plastic which will<br />

never break down and is bad for<br />

the environment no matter what its<br />

destination. Republic Services has<br />

no limit as to how many bags of<br />

leaves they will pick up, however,<br />

keep in mind if some bags are left<br />

at the curb they will be returning<br />

once they have unloaded their<br />

truck.<br />

Ace Hardware Cherry Hills<br />

Marketplace at University Boulevard<br />

and Orchard Road has teamed up with<br />

the City of Greenwood Village to<br />

provide residents with FREE<br />

compostable paper yard waste bags.<br />

Use the provided coupon or visit<br />

www.acelittleton cherryhills.com to<br />

download your free coupon. Each<br />

resident will be eligible for a free 5-<br />

pack, while supplies last during the<br />

month of <strong>October</strong>. For more<br />

information, please contact Ace<br />

Hardware Cherry Hills Marketplace at<br />

5910 S. University, Suite A-17<br />

Greenwood Village, 720-974-1080.<br />

• Recycle your leaves at Village<br />

Greens Park. Leaves can be dropped<br />

off loose or in bags between<br />

<strong>October</strong> 8 and November 18,<br />

2018, in the dedicated area of the<br />

north parking lot any day of the<br />

week. This option is<br />

environmentally friendly with staff<br />

spreading and disking into the soil<br />

where native grass cannot be<br />

established adding nutrients,<br />

helping with moisture and also<br />

providing a place for soil bore<br />

microorganisms to live. It does not<br />

impact the landfill and it is cost<br />

effective. No bags are required and<br />

you do not have to wait until your<br />

trash day to dispose of them.<br />

MAKING A difference<br />

GIVING BACK<br />

TO THE COMMUNITY<br />

COMMISSION REAPPOINTMENT<br />

The following citizen was reappointed by the Greenwood Village<br />

City Council to serve on the Arts & Humanities Council:<br />

Cynthia Madden Leitner, At-Large<br />

(reappointment)<br />

Arts & Humanities Council<br />

Cynthia Madden Leitner co-founded<br />

the Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA)<br />

with her parents, Colorado developer<br />

John W. Madden, Jr. and his wife<br />

Marjorie Madden in 1982. Designed as<br />

a “museum without walls,” MOA’s<br />

original mission followed the<br />

definition by integrating the arts into commercial landscapes and<br />

architecture to create synergistic environments for everyday living.<br />

Beginning with a donated outdoor collection of 12 sculptures<br />

placed in Greenwood Plaza, the collection now has over 200<br />

monumental sculptures installed throughout the Denver Metro<br />

area. In 1995 The Colorado Governor’s Award for Excellence in the<br />

Arts was awarded to Cynthia for the realization of MOA’s unique<br />

vision.<br />

Cynthia Madden Leitner has curated over 200 exhibitions for the<br />

Museum of Outdoor Arts and more than 20 exhibitions for other<br />

arts organizations during her 35-year tenure as President and<br />

Executive Director. She has worked with local, national, and<br />

international artists including Nick Bantock, Sanfte Strukturen,<br />

Daniel Sprick, and Claudy Jongstra. In 1999 Cynthia Madden<br />

Leitner co-curated A View from Denver with the Denver Art Museum<br />

for the White House Rose Garden. Among the Museum’s<br />

publications are Portrait of a Museum and Secret Rooms; the films<br />

“Palazzo Verdi” and “Sacred Water at Burning Man” both aired on<br />

PBS. Cynthia has also spearheaded monumental projects such as<br />

creating Design and Build, a renowned education internship for<br />

emerging artists, building Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre (FGA) from<br />

an earth sculpture into the largest outdoor live music venue in<br />

Colorado, and designing and creating Element House, an off-thegrid<br />

home near the site of Charles Ross’ Star Axis.<br />

Among civic activities, Cynthia Madden Leitner serves on the<br />

PLACE advisory board, and the Greenwood Village Arts and<br />

Humanities Council. She has also served on the board of the<br />

International Sculpture Center, is an Honorary Trustee of The<br />

Women’s Foundation of Colorado, and a founder of the National<br />

Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. Cynthia has<br />

also been selected for the Denver Mayor’s Commission of Arts,<br />

Culture and Film, the Denver Foundation’s Arts and Culture<br />

Committee, the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts, and the<br />

Advisory Committee for the Museum of Contemporary Arts in<br />

Denver.<br />

Cynthia and the Museum of Outdoor Arts have been honored with<br />

the following awards: Distinguished Contributions to Women in the<br />

Arts – Colorado Committee for the National Museum of Women in<br />

the Arts, 1991; Museum Art Educator of the Year – 1993;<br />

Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts – 1995; Englewood<br />

Builder Award – 2004; Mayor Hickenlooper’s Proclamation for<br />

Design and Build Day – 2004; Element House designs and film<br />

accessioned by MoMA NY – 2014; AIA New York Design Award<br />

issued to MOS Architects for MOA’s Element House – 2015;<br />

Architecture Design Award issued to MOS Architects for work<br />

including MOA’s Element House – 2015; Governor Hickenlooper’s<br />

Proclamation for Design and Build Day – 2016.<br />

WHY CAN’T I SWEEP MY LEAVES OR GRASS CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET?<br />

Do not rake or blow leaves, grass or other trash into the street.<br />

The street sweeping equipment is not able to handle branches or<br />

large quantities of leaves and grass and can spread these materials<br />

around the street. Leaves and grass are “natural” but when it rains,<br />

these materials on streets and sidewalks can wash into storm<br />

drains and eventually lead to Village waterways such as streams<br />

and ponds. These materials over fertilize the water and encourage<br />

harmful aquatic plants and algae to thrive, which has a lasting<br />

negative impact on water quality, local ecology and recreational<br />

use of our waterways and is a form of stormwater pollution. Just<br />

like we would ask you to not throw trash in the street, it is the<br />

same for leaves.<br />

Greenwood Village is excited to<br />

welcome Masten’s custom framing<br />

shop. Although new to the Village,<br />

Masten’s has a long history of success<br />

and opened it’s doors over 30 years<br />

ago. Established in 1986, Masten’s<br />

continues to provide exceptional<br />

framing, customers will find a wide<br />

selection of gifts, greeting cards and<br />

one of a kind home décor.<br />

MASTEN FINE FRAMING & GIFTS<br />

Business owner Reed Masten had<br />

Cherry Hills Marketplace at the top of<br />

his list years ago for the ideal business<br />

location. Since there was already a<br />

framing store located nearby, Masten<br />

opted to open his store elsewhere.<br />

Now, 32 years later it has come full<br />

circle and Reed was able to find an<br />

ideal spot at Cherry Hills Marketplace.<br />

“DDHD — Dreams Don’t Have<br />

Deadlines,” quoted Reed.<br />

Cherry Hills Marketplace has been<br />

very welcoming. According to Reed,<br />

the local shop owners have been a very<br />

hospitable and the management<br />

company has been very efficient in<br />

handling issues that have arisen. The<br />

City was efficient and friendly at<br />

getting inspections completed along<br />

with answering all of Reeds questions.<br />

The Cherry Hills Marketplace is an<br />

ideal location for Masten Fine<br />

Framing & Gifts. In addition to seeing<br />

customers, many of Masten’s existing<br />

clientele live in or near Greenwood<br />

Village. Cherry Hills Marketplace<br />

offers a variety of shopping experiences<br />

and Masten Fine Framing & Gifts<br />

adds to that uniqueness. Across the<br />

street from Cherry Hills Market Place<br />

is Greenwood Village’s Curtis Center<br />

for the Arts which provides art classes<br />

and has an art gallery for regular art<br />

exhibits. Reed hopes to develop and<br />

maintain a strong relationship as both<br />

Masten’s and Curtis support the arts in<br />

TRI-COUNTY HEALTH<br />

DEPARTMENT REPORTS FIRST<br />

THREE CASES OF WEST NILE<br />

VIRUS THIS YEAR, IN ADAMS<br />

AND ARAPAHOE COUNTIES<br />

Tri-County Health Department (TCHD) has confirmed<br />

West Nile (WNV) virus infection in three residents, one in<br />

Adams and two in Arapahoe Counties. Two of the three<br />

residents have been hospitalized. These are the first human<br />

WNV infections reported in the TCHD jurisdiction of<br />

Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas Counties this year. Most<br />

people get WNV from the bite of an infected mosquito.<br />

The Colorado Department of Public Health and<br />

Environment reports that as of September 14, there have<br />

been 47 human cases of WNV statewide this year, with one<br />

death reported. Historically, the vast majority of human cases<br />

are reported in August and September. Cases of human<br />

WNV have been reported from Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder,<br />

Clear Creek, Delta, El Paso, Jefferson, Larimer, Logan, Mesa,<br />

Montrose, Otero, San Miguel, Washington, and Weld<br />

counties.<br />

Prevention Tips<br />

• Eliminate standing water in rain gutters, old tires, buckets,<br />

plastic covers, toys, or any other container where<br />

mosquitoes can breed.<br />

• Keep mosquitoes away from exposed skin by wearing<br />

long-sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes and socks.<br />

• Use EPA-registered mosquito repellents that contain one<br />

of the following active ingredients: DEET, Picaridin,<br />

IR3535, Oil of lemon eucalyptus or para-menthane-diol,<br />

or 2-undecanone as directed while outdoors.<br />

• Mosquito-proof your home by repairing screens on<br />

windows and doors.<br />

• Stay inside at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most<br />

active or take steps to avoid mosquito bites if outside.<br />

Most people who are infected with WNV will not become ill.<br />

About 1 in 5 people who are infected develop a fever with<br />

other symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pains,<br />

vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Most people with this type of<br />

WNV disease recover completely, but fatigue and weakness<br />

can last for weeks or months.<br />

Serious symptoms can occur in a few individuals. About 1 in<br />

150 people who are infected develop a severe illness affecting<br />

the central nervous system such as encephalitis (inflammation<br />

of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the membranes<br />

that surround the brain and spinal cord).<br />

• Symptoms of severe illness include high fever, headache,<br />

neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors,<br />

convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and<br />

paralysis.<br />

• Severe illness can occur in people of any age; however,<br />

people over 60 years of age are at greater risk. People with<br />

certain medical conditions, such as cancer, diabetes,<br />

hypertension, kidney disease, and people who have<br />

received organ transplants, are also at greater risk.<br />

• Recovery from severe illness might take several weeks or<br />

months. Some effects to the central nervous system might<br />

be permanent.<br />

• About 1 out of 10 people who develop severe illness<br />

affecting the central nervous system die.<br />

See your healthcare provider if you develop the symptoms<br />

described above.<br />

Tri-County Health Department serves over 1.5 million<br />

people in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas Counties. It<br />

provides over 60 programs and services including birth<br />

certificates, immunizations, food/WIC, restaurant<br />

NEW PUBLIC ART IN<br />

WESTLANDS PARK<br />

Once again, the Greenwood Village Arts and<br />

Humanities Council has partnered with the<br />

Museum of Outdoor<br />

Arts to bring public<br />

art to Westlands Park.<br />

This year the outdoor<br />

exhibit will feature<br />

three new works from<br />

Chicago based artist<br />

Neil Goodman.<br />

Currently a professor<br />

of art at Indiana<br />

University Northwest,<br />

Goodman’s work has<br />

been featured in Art<br />

Forum, Art in America,<br />

ARTnews and<br />

Sculpture Magazine.<br />

Goodman’s work is<br />

not rooted in organic<br />

forms. His objects<br />

look like physical<br />

manifestations of<br />

mathematical<br />

principles, equations<br />

somehow made<br />

dimensional and wrought in metal and fiberglass.<br />

For all their weight and bulk, they have an airy<br />

purity about them, like music. To walk among<br />

them is a little like listening to a Bach Fugue. The<br />

three works, “Rudder,” “Wind” and “Reach” will be<br />

on display in Westlands Park through August 2019.<br />
