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

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

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

• In 2007, Susie’s dear friend and neighbor Lisa Nichols
was diagnosed with ALS so she formed a group called
Band Together, which raised $120,000 to benefit Lisa
and her family.
• In addition, Susie served as a member of the ALS
Association from 2007-2015 where she provided meeting
locations and supported various fundraising events.
• Susie started the Cherry Creek Village Ice Cream Social
from 2008-2010, which brought neighbors together in
the summer with donations from Dreyer Ice Cream.
• She served as a Planning and Zoning Commissioner for
Greenwood Village from 2006-2007.
• In 2018, Susie was determined to lead the July 4th
Celebration, so she brought together many neighbors to
cook, decorate, socialize and see what a neighborhood
could enjoy together.
• The Sock it to ’Em 2018 National Sock Drive for the
homeless saw Susie’s address as a neighborhood drop off
site for donations. The City of Greenwood Village won
this multi-governmental contest!
• She regularly offers ideas and suggestions to the Village on
ways to engage residents through social media.
If you would like to nominate a Village Hero — someone
who has done a great deed or made a remarkable
contribution in the Village in a big or small way, please send
your nomination to mgallegos@greenwoodvillage.com.
We want to make sure these people’s stories of making a
positive impact in Greenwood Village do not go unnoticed.

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE
& OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES
This article summarizes some of the most common issues related
to property maintenance in residential areas. Our goal is to
ensure clean, attractive, safe neighborhoods and to maintain a
peaceful and enjoyable community. Every property owner has
the responsibility to maintain their property in a clean and
attractive manner.
Residential property concerns are addressed on a complaint basis
only. Once the City has validated the reported concern, the
property owner/tenant is contacted and given a period of time to
address the violation. The City initially seeks voluntary
compliance, with follow-up by an officer as necessary to ensure
compliance with the Municipal Code. Residential construction
and residential properties with reoccurring code violations will
be monitored proactively and addressed in an accelerated
manner.
Weeds And Grass Growth — It is the responsibility of the
property owner or resident to keep weeds and grass below eight
(8) inches, unless the property is in the rural area of the Village.
Noxious weeds are weeds which aggressively invade landscape or
are detrimental to the environment. Unlike regular weeds, these
weeds are required to be effectively controlled by pulling,
spraying or mowing.
Litter And Refuse — Residents must promptly remove any
accumulated materials, litter or refuse on the property such as
but not limited to: household appliances, cardboard, yard
clippings, leaves, abandoned or damaged household furnishings,
old fencing, vehicle tires and parts.
Trash and recycling containers are required to be stored in garage
or screened location. Containers may not be left at the curb for
more than one day before the scheduled trash pick-up day and
removed from the curb no later than midnight following a
scheduled pick-up.
Contractors are required to keep the property in clean and
orderly manner at all times. All building materials shall be neatly
stored and promptly removed or discarded when they are no
longer needed. All dumpsters, port-o-lets, equipment, trailers,
construction materials, and landscape materials must be stored
on site. Storage on city streets and right-of-way is strictly
prohibited.
Dead Or Overgrown Landscaping — Trees, shrubs, or other
vegetation which are dead, broken, or infested by insects shall be
be moved from the property. Branches of trees, shrubs or any
other plant material
should never obstruct
sidewalks or streets. This

that overhangs in
manner that interferes
with the safe and
unobstructed movement
of pedestrians or vehicles
on any street or rail. (Trimming guidelines must be followed to
prevent overgrown landscaping in the Village right-of-way.)
• Streets — 14 feet above
• Equestrian trails — 10 feet above
• Sidewalk and trails — 8 feet above
Any overgrown trees or shrubs located in the right-of-way, such
as parks, open space areas, and roadways that need to be trimmed
to avoid obstructions should be completed by the Village.
Outdoor Storage — The storage of any items not normally
associated with the primary use of the property in an outdoor
location is prohibited. This includes unused furniture, storage
racks, broken and unused appliances, tires,
“junk,” and discarded items.
Inoperable Vehicles — Inoperable vehicles are not allowed on
private or public property unless the vehicle is completely
enclosed within building or structure on private property.
Inoperable vehicles are defined as vehicles not displaying valid
license plates; or vehicles lacking any part necessary for legal
operation on public street, including flat tires.
Recreational Vehicles — Recreational vehicles, boats, campers
and trailers may be parked or stored in a single family residential
property when the vehicle is completely concealed from view of
any public street or adjacent residence.
Exterior Maintenance — The exterior elements of a residence
shall be maintained in good condition. exterior maintenance
violations include: substantial peeling or faded paint; broken or
missing shutters or facia; damaged or missing roof shingles;
missing windows; or broken and damaged fencing.
Homeowners Association (HOA) Rules And Regulations —
The City does not enforce private HOA covenants. Please refer
to your Homeowners Association or additional rules related to
residential property maintenance in your neighborhood.

a few important things for residents to remember:
• Recycling services will be provided every other week on
the same day as your regularly scheduled trash pickup.
Refer to the 2019 Republic Services Recycling Program
Schedule.
• Please do not place any trash in the recycle polycarts. The
polycarts with a green lid indicates recycling, the trash
trucks cannot pick it up. If the cart is contaminated it will
be left at the curb for proper sorting by the resident.
• To prepare your items to be recycled, please rinse out
containers to remove as much of the food residue as
possible. In addition, please make sure there are no plastic
bags mixed in your recyclables.
• Please, do not include any oil, pesticide, or hazardous

by calling 1-800-449-7587.
• Your polycarts may be placed at the curb (1) day prior to
a scheduled pickup and must be removed from the curb
no later than midnight following a scheduled pickup. This
means trash and recycle containers cannot be placed at the

containers must be stored in such a position on the
property as to be reasonably screened from public view.
• Please adhere to the following as acceptable items for
single stream recycling services in the Village:

CENTENNIAL
AIRPORT NOISE ISSUES
UPDATE ON METROPLEX
Over the last few months, there have been a number of news
media stories concerning the Federal Aviation Administration’s
(FAA) Metroplex — Denver project and its possible impacts
to Denver area communities including Greenwood Village.
While the project has not yet been approved and is many
months from potential implementation, provided below are
some Q&As on the project.
What is Metroplex?
Metroplex is part of the FAA’s NextGen effort to modernize
the national air transportation system with the goal of
increasing aviation safety, efficiency, capacity, predictability,
and resiliency. The FAA defines a Metroplex as “a geographic
area covering several airports, serving major metropolitan
areas and a diversity of aviation stakeholders.” Denver is one
of 11 current Metroplexes around the country being studied
or implemented by the FAA. In general, Metroplex
implementation uses new technologies to enable aircraft to
fly shorter routes and enables air traffic controllers and pilots
to track aircraft more precisely.
Why is the FAA pursuing this project?
The metro Denver area is served by multiple airports and has
complex air traffic flows. The FAA has explained that
Metroplex is intended to “enhance the way aircraft navigate
this complex airspace to improve airport access and make
flight routes more efficient.” The FAA believes that this new
way of managing air traffic in the Denver area may reduce
aircraft fuel usage and exhaust emissions while also improving
on-time aircraft arrivals and departures. To put this in
perspective, based on preliminary data, the FAA estimates
that implementation of the Metroplex – Denver project will
result in $1.8 million in annual fuel savings and will annually
avoid 5,400 metric tons of carbon emissions.
How will Greenwood Village be impacted?
At this time, the short answer is, “We don’t know.” If
Metroplex – Denver is implemented, it will change the routes
that aircraft fly into and out of Denver International Airport.
It will also impact the routes that aircraft fly into and out of
Greeley — Weld County Airport, Fort Collins — Loveland
Municipal Airport, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport
and, most important to Greenwood Village residents,
Centennial Airport. Centennial Airport is the second busiest
general aviation airport in the country with over 340,000
flight operations in 2018, this is of particular concern to
Greenwood Village residents. Until the federal
Environmental Assessment for the project is completed and
further project details are determined, we don’t know
whether these route changes will result in a greater or fewer
number of aircraft flying over Greenwood Village and at
what altitude.
What is the City doing about Metroplex at this time?
The Mayor, City Council, and Village staff have been
carefully monitoring this project as it evolves. Village
representatives have participated in recent meetings with FAA
staff concerning the status of and future plans for Metroplex
– Denver. Additionally, the Village and other representatives
of south metro area municipalities have met with U.S.
Senator Cory Gardner’s office to discuss the project and
request the Senator’s assistance in ensuring the FAA provides
PG. 10 GV NEWSLETTER | APRIL 2019
GOVERNMENT
timely and accurate information and considers the potential
impacts of Metroplex on local communities.
WHAT IS THE CACNR AND HOW ARE
THEY ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE?
The Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable
(CACNR) was created in May 2009 with the intent to
reduce and mitigate noise impacts from users of Centennial
Airport. Membership of the Roundtable consists of local
elected officials, airport staff, community representatives, the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and airport users.
This forum provides a mechanism that attempts to ensure
cooperation between the Airport and local communities in
achieving noise reductions wherever possible. CACNR is very
focused on Metroplex – Denver and provides another
platform for potential coordinated efforts among local
communities. Greenwood Village is represented on CACNR
by City Councilmember Tom Dougherty who can be reached
at 303- 804-4132 or tdougherty@greenwoodvillage.com.
WHAT CAN RESIDENTS DO?
The most important thing you can do at this time is stay
informed. Specific information about the proposed
Metroplex – Denver project is available at
https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/snapshots/metroplexes/?
locationId=8. Additional information is available on the
Centennial Airport website at http://www.centennial
airport.com/index.php/en-us/2016-03-01-21-53-30/aboutmetroplex.
It is anticipated that the FAA will hold public
information meetings and community workshops this
summer at which members of the public can learn more

LIGHTNING
PREPAREDNESS:
WHEN THUNDER
ROARS,
GO INDOORS
Lightning strikes the ground in our
state more than a half million times
each year and with many of us
participating in outdoor activities, we
need to learn how to protect ourselves
from lightning hazards.
OUTDOOR SAFETY
Outdoors is the most dangerous place
to be during a thunderstorm. Each
year nearly all people in the United
States who are injured or killed by
lightning were involved in an outdoor
activity. Unfortunately, there is no
place outside that is safe from
lightning. The only safe place to be
when lightning is occurring is either
inside a substantial building or an
enclosed automobile.
Here are some important things to
remember before venturing outdoors:
• An informed decision will help you
avoid being in an area where
lightning is expected to occur.
Before heading out get an updated
weather forecast.
• Stay tuned to NOAA Weather
Radio and check National Weather
Service websites or access your
favorite weather apps on your cell
phone for the latest forecast.
• In Colorado it is important to
remember that thunderstorms
typically develop in the mountains
after 11 a.m. That is why it’s best to
plan your climbing or hiking so
you are coming down the
mountain by late morning.
• If thunderstorms are in the forecast,
consider planning an alternate
indoor activity or make plans
which will allow you to quickly get
into a safe shelter.
Once you are outside keep these tips
in mind if you have a safe location
nearby:
• Know where the nearest safe
location is located.
– A safe location is any substantial
building, such as a business, a
home, or a church.
– Any enclosed hard-topped
automobile also offers protection
from lightning.
• Once you hear thunder or see
KNOW THE SOUNDS OF THE LIGHTNING
DEVICES AT MAJOR VILLAGE PARKS
During the summer storm season, Village park users and visitors may be exposed to potential dangers of a lightning storm while being
outside. In efforts to provide a safer environment while attending events at Village Greens Park, Curtis Park, Westlands Park, Silo Park, and
Tommy Davis Park, the Village has installed lightning prediction and warning systems to alert
park users of the potential for lightning before it strikes.
The lightning systems in designated Village parks are prediction systems not detector systems.
These systems measure the shift of the positive and negative ions in the atmosphere and in the
ground that could create an energy flow that may result in a lightning strike once a conductive
cloud to ground path is available. The lightning prediction and warning system senses and
evaluates these shifts and changes in the electrostatic field that precede the occurrence of an
actual lightning strike and activates an audible, as well as, visual warning alerting of the
dangerous conditions.
The systems are set to monitor a 2.5 mile radius from its location. When the conditions are ripe
for lightning at the parks or within the 2.5 mile radius, a continuous audible horn is activated for
a period of 15 seconds alerting users of the potential for lightning and activating yellow strobes
on the roofs of the structures located within the parks. These strobes will stay activated
throughout the period of potential lightning activity and will shut off only after an all clear signal
consisting of three five second audible horn blasts. The systems are operational between the
hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., seven days a week, through the spring and summer months.
For more information, please call Dustin Huff, Parks Manager, at 303-708-6155.

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

Open: Thursday-Monday 1 to 9 p.m. • Reservations by phone or online
Think…solve…escape.
Words to live by when you are locked in a room with only
your wits, problem solving skills and teamworking ability to
set you free. Let the mind whirl with analytical and creative
thought in hopes to solve the puzzle of the room, but don’t
take too long as time is running out! This exhilarating
journey can be experienced in Greenwood Village at Epic
Escape Game. Just two blocks east of I-25 on Arapahoe Road
lives the interactive live escape room adventure. A fun,
unique experience that is the perfect solution to the ultimate
question: “What should we do tonight?” You walk in and
immediately notice one peculiar wall that prominently
displays several different styles of locks and a cupboard of
unique puzzle games. Continue spanning the lobby and you
also notice four enticing posters next to closed doors.
Hmmm…very curious indeed. Exciting thoughts spark and a
sense of wonder seems to fill the space. Initial ideas and
observations are shared amongst your group of family and
friends while questions swirl about what is to come next.
Don’t let the minimal information and cues outside of the
closed doors fool you. Inside lay four immersive rooms
packed full of themed décor, objects and locks to interact
with and intriguing storylines that will transport you to
another time and place. A place where instead of watching
the action, you are now IN THE ACTION! Currently, there
are four different games to choose from with varying skill
levels. The room options and themes are designed to
accommodate all who wish to accept the challenge from the
beginner to the advanced player. These escape rooms are ideal
for anyone looking for a new and fun experience, from the
couple on date night, friend group’s night out, a family
celebrating a birthday or special occasion to the office group
out for a team building exercise. All groups or parties are
welcome to come experience the fun and put their skills to
the test.
Owners Rebecca and Arthur Ross decided to set up shop in
Greenwood Village and enjoy the bustling energy that flows
around their convenient location. They decided to take a
hands-on approach to the business, which differentiates their
engaging model from any other live action experience. All
room design and game concepts are led by their creative drive
and problem-solving prowess. Each setting is thoughtfully
decorated and layered with several props to provide a very
immersive environment. One finds themselves immediately

present in the game space scenario as the clock ticks down
and minds race to find clues and solve the puzzle to freedom.
Epic Escape Game focuses on having a special room available
for everyone to enjoy regardless of the age or skill level. The
entire experience is designed to be shared by all and bring
people together.
The four game options you can choose from right now are
The Cursed Vault, Lab Disaster, The President’s Briefcase or
The Teddy Bear Workshop. There can be 2 to 8 players per
room at a time with 60 minutes on the clock to escape. Once
the game choice has been made, you are led to the specific
room, given basic instructions and left to strategize and
problem solve as the door is locked behind you. It is
important to mention that you are not truly locked in as
emergency exit buttons on the doors allow you to exit and reenter
the room as needed. Still nervous about being locked
in? Epic Escape Game offers two mission based rooms where
the doors are not locked. To ensure a fun and safe time, there
is also one dedicated “clue master” assigned to oversee each
game in progress and act as a resource to divulge hints if
requested. You may utilize them for help or assistance as
much or little as desired.
Ever growing and evolving the game concept, Rebecca and
Arthur are rolling out a brand-new escape experience this
summer. They have developed a new way for 50-100 person
groups to play the escape game all together with a portable
table top version. The Epic Escape crew will soon be able to
bring the fun directly to you! The clues and puzzles are
contained within locked mobile boxes and will be a perfect
option for larger groups to enjoy. They will bring mystery,
excitement and the newly designed theme of The Mustache
Thief, to the location of your choice, be it the office,
conference room, school, church or community gathering
space.

DO NOT BECOME A
VICTIM OF MAIL THEFT
It’s Spring and criminals have sprung! Many people do not
realize that the once simple convenience of putting outgoing
mail in an unsecured curbside mail box and lifting the red
flag to notify the postman has also become a signal to mail
thieves that there is outgoing mail. This represents easy access
to credit card information, tax payments and other types of
personal information to be used for fraudulent activity. Mail
thieves are aware that it may take some time before a victim
realizes that something is amiss. When outbound letters
vanish, it may take weeks before it is discovered that the mail
did not reach its intended destination. At the same time, the
disappearance of inbound mail can easily go un-noticed; the
first sign of fraud might come as quickly as the next credit
card or bank statement.
What can you do to minimize exposure to mail theft?
• Make sure your personal mailbox is secure and can lock at
all times.
• Use the letter slots at your post office to mail letters, or
give them to a letter
carrier.
• Pick up your mail
promptly after delivery.
Don’t leave it in your
mailbox overnight.
• Don’t send cash in the
mail.
• Ask your bank for “secure”
checks that can’t be altered.
• Tell your post office when
you will be out of town so they can hold your mail.
• If you don’t receive a check or other valuable mail you are
expecting, contact the issuing agency immediately.
Check your credit reports regularly. If you find accounts
that don’t belong to you or other incorrect information,
follow the instructions for disputing those items. Visit
www.consumer.gov/idtheft for step-by-step advice about
what to do if you’re a victim of identity theft.

please call the Police Department at 303-773-2525. GV
