MAYOR RON reports<br />
MY HEALTH<br />
While one’s personal health is typically a private matter, and<br />
because I have been using a walker or a cane to get around<br />
lately, my health has come into question. In response to<br />
many inquiries, I would like to let everyone know that I have<br />
been undergoing successful treatment for Stage 4B prostate<br />
cancer since late last year and expect a full recovery. My<br />
recent use of a cane or walker is due to an<br />
accidental fall unrelated to my cancer treatment.<br />
I am committed to continue my duties as<br />
Mayor until my term concludes this November.<br />
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.<br />
STOP ON RED CAMPAIGN<br />
You may have noticed the past few weeks on<br />
social media messaging urging people to stop on<br />
red as red light violations continue to be a<br />
major traffic safety issue in our Village. Our<br />
education campaign is focused to encourage safe<br />
driving at red lights and reduce the number of<br />
photo red light tickets issued to motorists.<br />
Contrary to current stereotypes of government<br />
using photo red light cameras for revenue, I can assure you<br />
that Greenwood Village doesn’t want to give out any photo<br />
red light camera tickets! Zero tickets mean that everyone is<br />
following the law, stopping on all red lights, hence, our<br />
streets are safer for drivers and pedestrians.<br />

I congratulate Greenwood Village residents as the majority of<br />
photo red light violators do not live in the Village. Our<br />
campaign is aimed at spreading awareness outside of our<br />
community in the hopes of changing driver behavior and<br />
reduce the number of photo red light tickets issued to people<br />
who travel through our Village.<br />
So as a reminder, please continue to follow these rules of the<br />
road to avoid getting a photo red light ticket in Greenwood<br />
Village:<br />
• All you have to do is STOP when the light turns red.<br />
That’s it! Just STOP.<br />
• Going straight through? STOP when the light turns red.<br />
• Making a right turn on red? STOP at the red light, look<br />
for pedestrians, and proceed when it’s clear.<br />
• Turning left against traffic? Wait behind the crosswalk<br />
until oncoming cars have passed, then make your turn on<br />
green. If the light changes while you’re waiting, STOP at<br />
the red light.<br />
You can find more tips and information about how to avoid<br />
a red light camera ticket by following City of Greenwood<br />
Village on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. If you have any<br />
questions about the City of Greenwood Village photo red<br />
light camera campaign, please reach out to Melissa Gallegos,<br />
Communications Officer at 303-486-5749 or email<br />
mgallegos@greenwoodvillage.com.<br />
SPRING COYOTE BEHAVIOR<br />
It’s that time of year when coyote and human conflicts may<br />
arise. Wildlife experts indicate that most conflicts are a direct<br />
result of human behavior such as feeding coyotes, walking a<br />
dog without a leash, or leaving food or water outside for your<br />
pets.<br />
I thought it would be timely to provide some helpful tips on<br />
what you can do to prevent a negative coyote encounter:<br />
• Never feed coyotes! Intentionally feeding coyotes is<br />
illegal and these laws will be enforced.<br />
• Keep pet food and water inside.<br />
• Do not touch young coyotes. A coyote that appears<br />
orphaned most often is not; the mother is usually nearby.<br />
• Teach children not to feed, play with, or pet coyotes.<br />
• Do not give coyotes the opportunity to get into your<br />
garbage; keep garbage in sealed containers with secure lids.<br />
• Remove attractants from your yard such as pet food, water<br />
sources, bird feeders and fallen fruit.<br />
• Fully enclose gardens and compost piles.<br />
• Keep pets on a 6-foot leash when walking at all times. It<br />
is illegal to have your dog off a leash and the law will<br />
be enforced.<br />
• Never allow your pets to “play” with a coyote.<br />
• Pick up small pets if confronted by a coyote.<br />
• Always supervise your pet when outside, especially at<br />
dawn and dusk.<br />
• Never leave cats or dogs outside after dark.<br />
• If you must leave your pet outside, secure it in a fully<br />
enclosed kennel.<br />
• Keep your pets up to date on vaccinations.<br />

RECOGNIZING VILLAGE HEROES<br />
This month, we honor Susie Roy in our community. What a<br />
lady! Please join us in congratulating her and celebrating her<br />
many accomplishments and contributions to the Greenwood<br />
Village community!<br />
If a coyote approaches you, be as big, mean and loud as<br />
possible. You can wave your arms and throw objects at the<br />
coyote, or shout in a deep, loud, authoritative voice.<br />
Please call the Greenwood Village Police Department at<br />
303-773-2525 with information on coyote sightings. The<br />
Police Department is actively keeping a record of coyote<br />
activity in the Village which will assist the Village in tracking<br />
the coyote population.<br />
• Susie and Gordon Roy moved into Cherry Creek Village<br />
North in 1991 with their young children, Brittany and<br />
Tony. She immediately started Village Star which<br />
recognized neighborhood students and featured them in<br />
the Cherry Creek Village North <strong>Newsletter</strong>. In addition,<br />
she started and participated in several Secret Santa events<br />
in the neighborhood.<br />
• From 1996-2007 she was on the Board of her<br />
Homeowners Association and she and Gordon rewrote<br />
new covenants to guide the neighbors with home<br />
improvements and local governing structures.<br />
• Susie volunteered from 1998-2002 with the Learning<br />
Disabilities Association of America where she served as an<br />
advocate for students without parents.<br />

• In 2007, Susie’s dear friend and neighbor Lisa Nichols<br />
was diagnosed with ALS so she formed a group called<br />
Band Together, which raised $120,000 to benefit Lisa<br />
and her family.<br />
• In addition, Susie served as a member of the ALS<br />
Association from 2007-2015 where she provided meeting<br />
locations and supported various fundraising events.<br />
• Susie started the Cherry Creek Village Ice Cream Social<br />
from 2008-2010, which brought neighbors together in<br />
the summer with donations from Dreyer Ice Cream.<br />
• She served as a Planning and Zoning Commissioner for<br />
Greenwood Village from 2006-2007.<br />
• In 2018, Susie was determined to lead the July 4th<br />
Celebration, so she brought together many neighbors to<br />
cook, decorate, socialize and see what a neighborhood<br />
could enjoy together.<br />
• The Sock it to ’Em 2018 National Sock Drive for the<br />
homeless saw Susie’s address as a neighborhood drop off<br />
site for donations. The City of Greenwood Village won<br />
this multi-governmental contest!<br />
• She regularly offers ideas and suggestions to the Village on<br />
ways to engage residents through social media.<br />
If you would like to nominate a Village Hero — someone<br />
who has done a great deed or made a remarkable<br />
contribution in the Village in a big or small way, please send<br />
your nomination to mgallegos@greenwoodvillage.com.<br />

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE<br />
& OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES<br />
This article summarizes some of the most common issues related<br />
to property maintenance in residential areas. Our goal is to<br />
ensure clean, attractive, safe neighborhoods and to maintain a<br />
peaceful and enjoyable community. Every property owner has<br />
the responsibility to maintain their property in a clean and<br />
attractive manner.<br />
Residential property concerns are addressed on a complaint basis<br />
only. Once the City has validated the reported concern, the<br />
property owner/tenant is contacted and given a period of time to<br />
address the violation. The City initially seeks voluntary<br />
compliance, with follow-up by an officer as necessary to ensure<br />
compliance with the Municipal Code. Residential construction<br />
and residential properties with reoccurring code violations will<br />
be monitored proactively and addressed in an accelerated<br />
manner.<br />
Weeds And Grass Growth — It is the responsibility of the<br />
property owner or resident to keep weeds and grass below eight<br />
(8) inches, unless the property is in the rural area of the Village.<br />
Noxious weeds are weeds which aggressively invade landscape or<br />
are detrimental to the environment. Unlike regular weeds, these<br />
weeds are required to be effectively controlled by pulling,<br />
spraying or mowing.<br />
Litter And Refuse — Residents must promptly remove any<br />
accumulated materials, litter or refuse on the property such as<br />

other plant material<br />

sidewalks or streets. This<br />
includes landscaping<br />
that overhangs in<br />
manner that interferes<br />
with the safe and<br />
unobstructed movement<br />
of pedestrians or vehicles<br />
on any street or rail. (Trimming guidelines must be followed to<br />
prevent overgrown landscaping in the Village right-of-way.)<br />
• Streets — 14 feet above<br />
• Equestrian trails — 10 feet above<br />
• Sidewalk and trails — 8 feet above<br />
Any overgrown trees or shrubs located in the right-of-way, such<br />
as parks, open space areas, and roadways that need to be trimmed<br />
to avoid obstructions should be completed by the Village.<br />

associated with the primary use of the property in an outdoor<br />
location is prohibited. This includes unused furniture, storage<br />
racks, broken and unused appliances, tires,<br />
“junk,” and discarded items.<br />
Inoperable Vehicles — Inoperable vehicles are not allowed on<br />
private or public property unless the vehicle is completely<br />
enclosed within building or structure on private property.<br />

license plates; or vehicles lacking any part necessary for legal<br />
operation on public street, including flat tires.<br />
Recreational Vehicles — Recreational vehicles, boats, campers<br />
and trailers may be parked or stored in a single family residential<br />
property when the vehicle is completely concealed from view of<br />
any public street or adjacent residence.<br />
Exterior Maintenance — The exterior elements of a residence<br />
shall be maintained in good condition. exterior maintenance<br />

missing shutters or facia; damaged or missing roof shingles;<br />
missing windows; or broken and damaged fencing.<br />

MAKING A difference<br />
2019 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 2019 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 />
accomplish the established goals of<br />
the upcoming year, while remaining<br />
consistent with the long-term vision<br />
of the community. Development of<br />
the 2019 Annual Operating &<br />
Capital Improvement Budget focused<br />
on maintaining the existing levels of<br />
service, reinvesting in the<br />
infrastructure of the community, and<br />
ensuring the financial health of the<br />
organization without the addition of<br />
new taxes or issuance of 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 2019,<br />
the above sources are expected to<br />

SINGLE FAMILY RECYCLING TIPS<br />
All single-family household in the Village are eligible to<br />
receive free recycling services with your trash service. Residents<br />
interested in recycling may request a 95-gallon or 65-gallon<br />
polycarts by calling Public Works at 303-708-6100. Here are<br />
a few important things for residents to remember:<br />
• Recycling services will be provided every other week on<br />
the same day as your regularly scheduled trash pickup.<br />
Refer to the 2019 Republic Services Recycling Program<br />
Schedule.<br />
• Please do not place any trash in the recycle polycarts. The<br />
polycarts with a green lid indicates recycling, the trash<br />
trucks cannot pick it up. If the cart is contaminated it will<br />
be left at the curb for proper sorting by the resident.<br />
• To prepare your items to be recycled, please rinse out<br />
containers to remove as much of the food residue as<br />
possible. In addition, please make sure there are no plastic<br />
bags mixed in your recyclables.<br />
• Please, do not include any oil, pesticide, or hazardous<br />
material bottles in the polycarts. To dispose of your<br />
hazardous materials, residents may participate in the<br />
Village’s Residential Household Waste Collection Program<br />
by calling 1-800-449-7587.<br />
• Your polycarts may be placed at the curb (1) day prior to<br />
a scheduled pickup and must be removed from the curb<br />
no later than midnight following a scheduled pickup. This<br />
means trash and recycle containers cannot be placed at the<br />
curb more than 2 days a week. Trash and recycling<br />
containers must be stored in such a position on the<br />
property as to be reasonably screened from public view.<br />
• Please adhere to the following as acceptable items for<br />
single stream recycling services in the Village:<br />
PAPER<br />
Please note that due to the single stream sorting process it’s<br />
very difficult to sort shredded paper at the recycling facility.<br />
Please place shredded paper in your trash cart. Examples of<br />
accepted paper includes newspapers including inserts,<br />
magazines, junk mail, white and colored paper, posters, postit<br />
notes, manila folder, phonebooks.<br />
CARDBOARD<br />
Items made of cardboard, chipboard, and paperboard are<br />
recyclable. Examples of accepted items include flattened<br />
GREENWOOD VILLAGE<br />
DIVERSION RATE<br />
In 2018, Greenwood Village residential service recycled 1,677<br />
tons of material. GV’s diversion rate (the percentage of recycled<br />
material out of the total amount of waste) was 26.5%. Per the<br />
EPA, the National average recycling diversion rate, excluding<br />
composting, is 26%, so GV is tracking with the national average.<br />
cardboard, cereal boxes without the plastic inside, soda carrier<br />

MAKING A difference<br />
CENTENNIAL<br />
AIRPORT NOISE ISSUES<br />
UPDATE ON METROPLEX<br />
Over the last few months, there have been a number of news<br />
media stories concerning the Federal Aviation Administration’s<br />
(FAA) Metroplex — Denver project and its possible impacts<br />
to Denver area communities including Greenwood Village.<br />
While the project has not yet been approved and is many<br />
months from potential implementation, provided below are<br />
some Q&As on the project.<br />
What is Metroplex?<br />
Metroplex is part of the FAA’s NextGen effort to modernize<br />
the national air transportation system with the goal of<br />
increasing aviation safety, efficiency, capacity, predictability,<br />
and resiliency. The FAA defines a Metroplex as “a geographic<br />
area covering several airports, serving major metropolitan<br />
areas and a diversity of aviation stakeholders.” Denver is one<br />
of 11 current Metroplexes around the country being studied<br />
or implemented by the FAA. In general, Metroplex<br />
implementation uses new technologies to enable aircraft to<br />
fly shorter routes and enables air traffic controllers and pilots<br />
to track aircraft more precisely.<br />
Why is the FAA pursuing this project?<br />
The metro Denver area is served by multiple airports and has<br />
complex air traffic flows. The FAA has explained that<br />
Metroplex is intended to “enhance the way aircraft navigate<br />
this complex airspace to improve airport access and make<br />
flight routes more efficient.” The FAA believes that this new<br />
way of managing air traffic in the Denver area may reduce<br />
aircraft fuel usage and exhaust emissions while also improving<br />
on-time aircraft arrivals and departures. To put this in<br />
perspective, based on preliminary data, the FAA estimates<br />
that implementation of the Metroplex – Denver project will<br />
result in $1.8 million in annual fuel savings and will annually<br />
avoid 5,400 metric tons of carbon emissions.<br />
How will Greenwood Village be impacted?<br />
At this time, the short answer is, “We don’t know.” If<br />
Metroplex – Denver is implemented, it will change the routes<br />
that aircraft fly into and out of Denver International Airport.<br />
It will also impact the routes that aircraft fly into and out of<br />
Greeley — Weld County Airport, Fort Collins — Loveland<br />
Municipal Airport, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport<br />
and, most important to Greenwood Village residents,<br />
Centennial Airport. Centennial Airport is the second busiest<br />
general aviation airport in the country with over 340,000<br />
flight operations in 2018, this is of particular concern to<br />
Greenwood Village residents. Until the federal<br />
Environmental Assessment for the project is completed and<br />
further project details are determined, we don’t know<br />
whether these route changes will result in a greater or fewer<br />
number of aircraft flying over Greenwood Village and at<br />
what altitude.<br />
What is the City doing about Metroplex at this time?<br />
The Mayor, City Council, and Village staff have been<br />
carefully monitoring this project as it evolves. Village<br />
representatives have participated in recent meetings with FAA<br />
staff concerning the status of and future plans for Metroplex<br />
– Denver. Additionally, the Village and other representatives<br />
of south metro area municipalities have met with U.S.<br />
Senator Cory Gardner’s office to discuss the project and<br />
request the Senator’s assistance in ensuring the FAA provides<br />

timely and accurate information and considers the potential<br />
impacts of Metroplex on local communities.<br />
WHAT IS THE CACNR AND HOW ARE<br />
THEY ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE?<br />
The Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable<br />
(CACNR) was created in May 2009 with the intent to<br />
reduce and mitigate noise impacts from users of Centennial<br />
Airport. Membership of the Roundtable consists of local<br />
elected officials, airport staff, community representatives, the<br />
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and airport users.<br />
This forum provides a mechanism that attempts to ensure<br />
cooperation between the Airport and local communities in<br />
achieving noise reductions wherever possible. CACNR is very<br />
focused on Metroplex – Denver and provides another<br />
platform for potential coordinated efforts among local<br />
communities. Greenwood Village is represented on CACNR<br />
by City Councilmember Tom Dougherty who can be reached<br />
at 303- 804-4132 or tdougherty@greenwoodvillage.com.<br />
WHAT CAN RESIDENTS DO?<br />
The most important thing you can do at this time is stay<br />
informed. Specific information about the proposed<br />
Metroplex – Denver project is available at<br />
https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/snapshots/metroplexes/?<br />
locationId=8. Additional information is available on the<br />
Centennial Airport website at http://www.centennial<br />
airport.com/index.php/en-us/2016-03-01-21-53-30/aboutmetroplex.<br />

information meetings and community workshops this<br />
summer at which members of the public can learn more<br />

LIGHTNING<br />
PREPAREDNESS:<br />
WHEN THUNDER<br />
ROARS,<br />
GO INDOORS<br />
Lightning strikes the ground in our<br />
state more than a half million times<br />
each year and with many of us<br />
participating in outdoor activities, we<br />
need to learn how to protect ourselves<br />
from lightning hazards.<br />
OUTDOOR SAFETY<br />
Outdoors is the most dangerous place<br />
to be during a thunderstorm. Each<br />
year nearly all people in the United<br />
States who are injured or killed by<br />
lightning were involved in an outdoor<br />
activity. Unfortunately, there is no<br />
place outside that is safe from<br />
lightning. The only safe place to be<br />
when lightning is occurring is either<br />
inside a substantial building or an<br />
enclosed automobile.<br />
Here are some important things to<br />
remember before venturing outdoors:<br />
• An informed decision will help you<br />
avoid being in an area where<br />
lightning is expected to occur.<br />
Before heading out get an updated<br />
weather forecast.<br />
• Stay tuned to NOAA Weather<br />
Radio and check National Weather<br />
Service websites or access your<br />
favorite weather apps on your cell<br />
phone for the latest forecast.<br />
• In Colorado it is important to<br />
remember that thunderstorms<br />
typically develop in the mountains<br />
after 11 a.m. That is why it’s best to<br />
plan your climbing or hiking so<br />
you are coming down the<br />
mountain by late morning.<br />
• If thunderstorms are in the forecast,<br />
consider planning an alternate<br />
indoor activity or make plans<br />
which will allow you to quickly get<br />
into a safe shelter.<br />
Once you are outside keep these tips<br />
in mind if you have a safe location<br />
nearby:<br />
• Know where the nearest safe<br />
location is located.<br />
– A safe location is any substantial<br />
building, such as a business, a<br />
home, or a church.<br />
– Any enclosed hard-topped<br />
automobile also offers protection<br />
from lightning.<br />
• Once you hear thunder or see<br />
KNOW THE SOUNDS OF THE LIGHTNING<br />
DEVICES AT MAJOR VILLAGE PARKS<br />
During the summer storm season, Village park users and visitors may be exposed to potential dangers of a lightning storm while being<br />
outside. In efforts to provide a safer environment while attending events at Village Greens Park, Curtis Park, Westlands Park, Silo Park, and<br />
Tommy Davis Park, the Village has installed lightning prediction and warning systems to alert<br />
park users of the potential for lightning before it strikes.<br />
The lightning systems in designated Village parks are prediction systems not detector systems.<br />
These systems measure the shift of the positive and negative ions in the atmosphere and in the<br />
ground that could create an energy flow that may result in a lightning strike once a conductive<br />
cloud to ground path is available. The lightning prediction and warning system senses and<br />
evaluates these shifts and changes in the electrostatic field that precede the occurrence of an<br />
actual lightning strike and activates an audible, as well as, visual warning alerting of the<br />
dangerous conditions.<br />
The systems are set to monitor a 2.5 mile radius from its location. When the conditions are ripe<br />
for lightning at the parks or within the 2.5 mile radius, a continuous audible horn is activated for<br />
a period of 15 seconds alerting users of the potential for lightning and activating yellow strobes<br />
on the roofs of the structures located within the parks. These strobes will stay activated<br />
throughout the period of potential lightning activity and will shut off only after an all clear signal<br />
consisting of three five second audible horn blasts. The systems are operational between the<br />
hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., seven days a week, through the spring and summer months.<br />

lightning — immediately stop what you are doing and<br />
quickly get to the safe shelter. Do not wait until the rain<br />
starts to seek safe shelter.<br />
• Once inside a safe shelter it is recommended you stay<br />
there for 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder.<br />
• Do not wait to seek safe shelter when lightning threatens.<br />
When you hear thunder or see lightning it is important<br />
for you, and your family, to act quickly.<br />
– Past history has shown that most people who were<br />
outdoors and were injured or killed by lightning had<br />
access to a nearby safe shelter.<br />
• Avoid shelters that are not safe from lightning including<br />
picnic shelters, bullpens, tents and any other small<br />
buildings that are open to the elements.<br />
• NEVER... NEVER... get under a tree to seek shelter from<br />
lightning.<br />
If you are outside with no safe shelter nearby:<br />
• In this scenario there is not much you can do to reduce<br />
your risk from being struck by lightning.<br />
• The best thing to do is move away from tall, isolated<br />
objects such as trees.<br />
• Stay away from wide open area.<br />
• Stay as low as possible with your feet close together if<br />
lightning is nearby.<br />
• If you are with a group of people, spread out. This way if<br />
someone is struck by lightning the others can offer first<br />
aid.<br />
• If camping in the backcountry, place your tent in a low<br />
area away from tall, isolated trees.<br />
INDOOR SAFETY<br />
Remember when thunder roars, get indoors! Once you are<br />
indoors keep these additional indoor safety tips in mind:<br />
• Avoid corded electronics, electrical equipment and<br />
plumbing.<br />
• Avoid contact with water such as taking a shower, bath,<br />
washing dishes or doing laundry.<br />
• Stay away from windows, doors, garages and porches.<br />
• Do not lie on concrete floors or lean against concrete<br />
walls.<br />
• If a substantial building is not nearby an enclosed<br />
automobile offers excellent protection from lightning.<br />

GENERAL INTEREST<br />
ENSURING A SAFE<br />
community<br />
DO NOT BECOME A<br />
VICTIM OF MAIL THEFT<br />
It’s Spring and criminals have sprung! Many people do not<br />
realize that the once simple convenience of putting outgoing<br />
mail in an unsecured curbside mail box and lifting the red<br />
flag to notify the postman has also become a signal to mail<br />
thieves that there is outgoing mail. This represents easy access<br />
to credit card information, tax payments and other types of<br />
personal information to be used for fraudulent activity. Mail<br />
thieves are aware that it may take some time before a victim<br />
realizes that something is amiss. When outbound letters<br />
vanish, it may take weeks before it is discovered that the mail<br />
did not reach its intended destination. At the same time, the<br />
disappearance of inbound mail can easily go un-noticed; the<br />
first sign of fraud might come as quickly as the next credit<br />
card or bank statement.<br />
What can you do to minimize exposure to mail theft?<br />
• Make sure your personal mailbox is secure and can lock at<br />
all times.<br />
• Use the letter slots at your post office to mail letters, or<br />
give them to a letter<br />
