SUMMERTIME<br />
IS OFFICIALLY HERE!<br />
Nothing pairs with summertime like cooking<br />
barbecue on a backyard grill, served up with<br />
side dishes and a tasty cold beverage,<br />
surrounded by friends and family. Summer is a<br />
great time to jump in feet first, sleep under the<br />
stars and try new things. I compiled a list of the<br />
top five things you must do in Greenwood<br />
Village this summer. Check out my list in no<br />
particular order and let us know your personal<br />
favorites.<br />
1. Test your golf skills at the disc golf course at<br />
Village Greens Park.<br />
2. Enjoy a concert of your favorite musical artists at the<br />
Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre and be sure to grab a bite to<br />
eat and drink at a local bistro before the concert.<br />
3. Take a bike ride or walk along the High Line Canal Trail<br />
and the entire Village’s trail system.<br />
4. Relax and enjoy the scenery at the Marjorie Perry Nature<br />
Preserve.<br />
5. Visit Westlands Park and see why it’s been rated one of<br />
the number one parks in the metro area.<br />
METRO PUBLIC SAFETY EVENT<br />
It takes a partnership of police, fire, and other public safety<br />
agencies to ensure the safety of the citizens that live, work<br />
and visit in our communities. As citizens, we are very<br />
fortunate that many of our police and fire agencies, even<br />
though they manage safety for their own jurisdictions, have<br />
developed great working relationships where they rely on<br />
each other for assistance, and in some cases, share resources<br />
to combat crime, manage traffic, and conduct crime<br />
prevention events.<br />
If you didn’t get the opportunity to attend the 4th Annual<br />
Metro Public Safety Event on Saturday, May 18, you missed<br />
out on the largest public safety event in the Denver metro<br />
area. There were several law enforcement, fire, and other<br />
public safety agencies showcasing their services and providing<br />
outreach to citizens of all ages. It was a fun event for the<br />
entire family. You can see all the photos from the event on<br />
pages 10 and 11.<br />
As residents and businesses of Greenwood Village, I wanted<br />
to take this time to always show our support for not only our<br />
Police Department, but also all the public safety agencies at<br />
every level that place their lives on the line for us every day to<br />
protect our neighborhoods, guard our homes and businesses,<br />
safeguard our children at school, save our animals, rescue<br />
people from incidents, and support the victims and families<br />
of tragedy. Thank you for your commitment and sacrifices<br />
you make every day to ensure our families are safe.<br />
RAMBLE WITH RON<br />
Due to unpredictable spring weather, Ramble with Ron will be<br />
suspended until later this summer. 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 rrakowsky@greenwoodvillage.com or call the<br />

MAINTENANCE DAY 2019<br />
Our Village staff never seems to stop amazing me as you can<br />
attest from all the positive comments we received from the<br />
past resident survey about staff and their customer service.<br />
This year, our staff pulled off another great event — the<br />
21st Annual Public Works and Parks Maintenance Day.<br />
As you will see on page 9, Public Works and Parks<br />
Maintenance staff hosted nearly 100 first graders from<br />
Belleview Elementary to share how their work contributes<br />
to making Greenwood Village an amazing place.<br />

Village! With all kidding aside, it was a pleasure for the<br />
Police Department to host a visit from the first graders<br />
of Greenwood Elementary Daisy Girl Scout Troop.<br />
The girls, under the guidance of School Resource<br />
Officer Rodney Valenzuela, toured the Police<br />
Department to see what it’s like to work as an officer<br />
in the Police Department. The girls met several police<br />
officers, hung out in the jail cell, and climbed into<br />
the back seat of a patrol car.<br />

MAKING A difference<br />
GREENWOOD VILLAGE<br />
REGULAR MUNICIPAL ELECTION<br />
— NOVEMBER 5, 2019<br />
VILLAGE VOTERS WILL ELECT<br />
NEW MAYOR AND EIGHT<br />
CITY COUNCILMEMBERS<br />
This year, the City Council designated the Village’s Regular<br />
Municipal Election to be a coordinated election with<br />
Arapahoe County. Arapahoe County is conducting the<br />
November 5, 2019 Coordinated Election as a Mail Ballot<br />
Election. This means voters will see the Greenwood Village<br />
list of candidates for Council and Mayor and questions on<br />
the ballot they receive from Arapahoe County.<br />
Running for office is something everyone can do; yet<br />
unexplored by many. Are you interested in serving your<br />
Village? There are countless reasons why people choose to<br />
run for office; however, no matter what your motivation or<br />
background, as a member of the Village’s City Council, you<br />
will have the opportunity to make important contributions<br />
toward shaping your community. For this reason, becoming<br />
an elected official can be one of the most rewarding<br />
experiences.<br />
The Greenwood Village City Council consists of nine elected<br />
officials including the Mayor. The Mayor is a member of the<br />
City Council. The Mayor has the same obligations as other<br />
members of the Council plus some additional duties as the<br />
ceremonial head of the Village required by the Home Rule<br />
Charter. The Mayor represents the citizens of the City at<br />
large. Two representatives from each of the City’s four<br />
Council districts compose the remainder of the Council.<br />
These offices are all non-partisan. City elections are designed<br />
so that the terms of office of the District Councilmembers<br />
are up for election every two years and the Mayor every<br />
four years.<br />
CANDIDATE INFORMATION<br />
The nomination petition process is the first step in becoming<br />
a candidate. Nomination petition forms are available in the<br />
City Clerk’s Office starting July 8, 2019. A candidate must<br />
possess the following qualifications to run for office: be a<br />
United States Citizen; be a registered elector; be 18 years of<br />
age by Election Day; and have lived in the Village and the<br />
specific District for one year immediately preceding the election.<br />
Candidates for the office of City Council must be<br />
nominated by at least twenty (20) registered electors from<br />
such district. Candidates for the Office of Mayor must be<br />
nominated by at least fifty (50) registered electors of the<br />
Village. Nomination petitions must be filed with the City<br />
Clerk no later than August 30, 2019, at 5 p.m.<br />
WRITE-IN CANDIDATES<br />
If you desire to be a write-in candidate for this election, an<br />
affidavit of intent must be filed with the City Clerk by the<br />
person whose name is written in by the close of business on<br />
August 30, 2019. No write-in vote for any municipal office<br />
shall be counted unless an affidavit of intent of the write-in<br />
candidate has been filed. Village Residency and age<br />
requirements to hold any municipal office must still be met.<br />
For additional information regarding candidacy, election<br />
forms and filing requirements, please call the Election<br />
Hotline at 303-804-4113, visit the Village website at<br />

ENHANCING OUR<br />
community<br />
UTILITY<br />
UNDERGROUNDING<br />
POLICY REVISED<br />
CHANGES PLANNED<br />
TO EXPEDITE<br />
UNDERGROUNDING<br />
PROJECTS<br />
One of the reasons why people live<br />
and work in Greenwood Village is due<br />
to the majestic views and the quality<br />
of parks, trails and open space areas.<br />
The burial of power lines, through the<br />
Village’s Utility Undergrounding<br />
Program, is a shared investment of the<br />
entire community which has<br />
contributed to enhancing and<br />
preserving these views.<br />
In May, the City Council adopted a<br />
revised Utility Undergrounding Policy<br />
to expedite the undergrounding of<br />
overhead lines along roadways in<br />
residential areas based on<br />
recommendations of the City Council<br />
Infrastructure Committee. The<br />
committee is comprised of<br />
Councilmembers Dave Bullock, Dave<br />
Kerber, George Lantz, and Judith<br />
Hilton. Potential projects are<br />
prioritized based on factors including,<br />
cost savings, safety, the number of<br />
homes served, and complexity.<br />
Additionally, the Policy was modified<br />
to focus on residential projects within<br />
public rights-of-way, and to distribute<br />
projects equitably throughout the<br />
neighborhoods. When a project<br />
begins, residents have the opportunity<br />
to expand the scope of work outside<br />
the right-of-way at their own expense.<br />
The majority of the undergrounding<br />
projects are managed through the<br />
Village’s Utility Undergrounding<br />
Program, which is funded by Xcel<br />
Energy based on its franchise<br />
agreement with the City. Xcel Energy<br />
allocates one percent (1%) of their<br />
preceding year’s electric revenues for<br />
utility undergrounding. These funds<br />
are held by Xcel Energy and are not<br />
part of the Village’s annual budget.<br />
In addition, utility undergrounding<br />
can also be accomplished through<br />
other funding mechanisms. New<br />
development or redevelopment<br />
projects typically require adjacent<br />
overhead lines to be buried.<br />
Undergrounding projects can also be<br />
coordinated with Capital<br />
Improvement Projects, in partnership<br />
with adjacent municipalities, or<br />
utilities can be undergrounded<br />
through the formation of a Local<br />
Improvement Districts (LID) where<br />
the City pays the upfront costs and is<br />
then reimbursed by residents and<br />
businesses benefiting from the<br />
overhead conversion through a<br />
property tax assessment.<br />
To date, over 10 miles of power lines<br />
have been undergrounded throughout<br />
the City. Approximately nine of the 10<br />
miles of lines have been funded<br />
through the Utility Undergrounding<br />
Program at an approximate cost of<br />
$5,500,000. The first undergrounding<br />
project was along Clarkson Street,<br />
Belleview Avenue, and University<br />
Boulevard in 1993. The most recent<br />
undergrounding projects completed<br />
were Orchard Road from Quebec<br />
Street to Colorado Boulevard in<br />
partnership with the City of<br />
Centennial; and Long Road/Steele<br />
Street as part of the Long Road<br />
Capital Improvement Project.<br />
Under the revised Policy, the<br />
undergrounding projects moving<br />
forward in 2019 will be: Red Fox Lane<br />
west of South Monaco Street; East<br />
Berry Avenue east and west of South<br />
Monaco Street; and East Orchard<br />
Road from South Race Court to South<br />
University Boulevard. Staff will also be<br />
continuing work with Xcel and<br />
residents for undergrounding in the<br />
Cherry Creek Village North<br />
neighborhood.<br />

CITIZENS’ ACADEMY 2019<br />
This year’s Spring Citizens’ Academy began in February and<br />
concluded in May with record attendance of nearly 40 people<br />
graduating from the program. The attendees had the opportunity<br />
to see the different aspects of the police department, and observe<br />
first-hand, with a behind-the-scenes look at the police<br />
department’s operation. The group had the chance to see the jail<br />
facility up close, complete CPR certification, attend a day at the<br />
police shooting range, and was the first class to use our new<br />
shooting simulator which is our interactive on-screen video<br />
system. The event concluded with a graduation at AMG Bank<br />
with a fantastic dinner and each attendee received a certificate<br />
of completion.<br />

SILO PARK PLAYGROUND<br />
GRAND OPENING<br />
After a day of cold, spring rain, the sun came<br />
out to shine on the crowd of families, City<br />
Councilmembers and Parks, Trails and Recreation<br />
Commissioners attending the grand opening of<br />
the new playground in Silo Park. The previous<br />
playground was installed in 1996; because it was<br />
showing its age and replacement parts were not<br />
available for repairs, the Village decided to install<br />
a new playground.<br />
A public input meeting was held at Silo Park on<br />
<strong>June</strong> 14, 2018, that included children in the<br />
community voting on what elements they wanted<br />
to see in the new playground. A publicly<br />
advertised request for proposals outlining the<br />
desired features was solicited and resulted in Star<br />
Playgrounds being selected to complete the<br />
project. With some refinement by Village staff, the<br />
proposed new playground design was presented to<br />
the public on November 20, 2018. To minimize<br />
the impact to the community of installing the new<br />
playground, construction was scheduled to begin<br />
in early 2019, after the winter holidays.<br />
The playground area was optimized by removing<br />
the concrete trail that bisected the area. Rest<br />
reassured, the treasured handprint panels from the<br />
1996 installation were saved and are now<br />
displayed along the trail southeast of the playground.<br />
The new playground features a treehouseinspired<br />
rope climbing structure complete with a<br />
hammock and cargo nets. Other elements<br />
included are a Spinami spinner, bridges, slides, a<br />
sky rail and swings, including a dual swing that<br />
allows for a toddler and parent to swing together.<br />
The reopening celebrations were attended by<br />
about 120 people who enjoyed a fun picnic<br />
atmosphere with a hot dog cart and an ice cream<br />
sundae bar. GV JUNE 2019 | GV NEWSLETTER PG. 13

Do you have a taste for adventurous<br />
beer? Look no further than Peak View<br />
Brewing Company; Greenwood<br />
Village’s first established brewery.<br />
The grand opening was April 5, 2019,<br />
and their aim is to bring excitement<br />
and adventure with their custom and<br />
unique brews that emulate the great<br />
outdoors.<br />
Peak View Brewing Company took<br />
root in 2016 by Sean Peters and<br />
Justen Coufal. Both are Air Force<br />
veterans with a curiosity for<br />
developing their own unique beers.<br />
Sean has been brewing beer for many<br />
years, experimenting and developing<br />
different styles and tastes. Sean met<br />
Justen in college where they connected<br />
over beer and the game of cornhole.<br />
This led to the eventual creation of<br />
Peak View Brewing Company.<br />
PEAK VIEW BREWING COMPANY<br />
Building Peak View Brewing was a<br />
rather large feat, as funding to<br />
establish this brewery came mainly<br />
from individual investors and<br />
fundraisers. Once the funding was<br />
achieved, the search was on for a<br />
location, which was over a year<br />
process. Deciding on opening their<br />
location in Greenwood Village<br />
brought a new set of challenges, as<br />
the Village has never had a brewery<br />
establishment before. Their aspirations<br />
led to many new developments for<br />
the Village to allow for breweries and<br />
developed a framework for other<br />
potential breweries to enter<br />
Greenwood Village.<br />
Peak View Brewing Company has a<br />
16-line taproom and opened their<br />
doors offering 13 different beers,<br />
including a gluten-free option from<br />
9672 East Arapahoe Road • peakviewbrewing.com<br />
Monday-Wednesday 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., Thursday-Sunday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.<br />
Holidaily Brewing in Golden, CO.<br />
Peak View Brewing has a wide variety<br />
of beers that can connect with any<br />
beer fan. From hoppy beers like the<br />
Grapefruit IPA to lighter beers like the<br />
Mango Hibiscus Blonde and Pineapple<br />
Wheat, the variety of styles and taste<br />
are well suited to any preference.<br />
Many people have commented on<br />
their beers including their Coffee<br />
Cream Ale “If you love black coffee,<br />
the Coffee Cream Ale is great.”<br />
The US Brewery Guild commented<br />
on their Papa J’s Pilseweizen as,<br />
“This is an interesting hybrid between<br />
a Pilsner and a Hefeweizen. Really<br />
good and very easy drinker!” They<br />
continue to develop and create new<br />
tastes with their current project being<br />
a peach sour beer.<br />
Peak View Brewing Company is<br />
conveniently located along Arapahoe<br />
Road at The Shops at Greenwood<br />
Village. It can be easily accessed from<br />
eastbound Arapahoe road with clear<br />
signage that can be seen from the road.<br />
They offer a family and dog friendly<br />
taproom with outdoor patio and<br />

options located within the shopping<br />
center for food options. Peak View<br />
Brewing Company is committed to<br />
veterans, family, their community,<br />
and craft which inspires them to<br />
create their specialty beers.<br />
Peak View Brewing is very welcoming,<br />
having ample seating at tables and a<br />
large bar. They play a variety of music<br />
genres and is a great place to enjoy<br />
beer and relax. There are many events<br />
scheduled at Peak View Brewing<br />

GENERAL INTEREST<br />
OUR NATURAL<br />
environment<br />
WATCH OUT FOR<br />
BABY WILDLIFE<br />
As spring progresses, the chance of encountering newborn<br />
animals such as baby birds, rabbits and deer in backyards or<br />
neighborhoods is very common. According to Colorado<br />
Parks and Wildlife, it’s normal for animals to leave their<br />
young alone while they go search for food. But encountering<br />
newborn wildlife can be an awe-inspiring event and can<br />
trigger emotions causing someone to want to “rescue” what<br />
they think is an animal in distress.<br />
If you encounter one of these wildlife babies who appear to<br />
be unharmed but alone, just observe from a distance and<br />
keep domestic animals and people away. Chances are quite<br />
likely the mother will be back shortly. In many cases,<br />
“rescuing baby wildlife by removing them from the wild is<br />
unnecessary and reduces their chances of survival.<br />
DEER<br />
Newborn animals, like deer,<br />
are often found without any<br />
adult animals nearby, leading<br />
people to believe that the<br />
newborn has been abandoned.<br />
That, however, is typically not<br />
the case. If you find a fawn:<br />
• Mothers normally leave<br />
their babies to feed. They<br />
often return in the late<br />
afternoon or early dusk.<br />
• If the baby looks cold, hungry, diseased, or confused,<br />
or if dogs, other animals, or people threaten its safety,<br />
call 9-1-1.<br />
• Otherwise, leave the baby alone and leave the area.<br />
The mother will not return if people or pets are present.<br />
SQUIRRELS<br />
A baby squirrel has the best chance of survival when it is<br />
cared for by its mother.<br />
Sometimes healthy young<br />
squirrels found on the ground<br />
are not orphans — they simply<br />
need help being reunited with<br />
their mothers. Often, mother<br />
squirrels will “rescue” their<br />
fallen or displaced healthy<br />
babies by carrying them by<br />
the scruff back to the nest.<br />
RABBITS<br />
Baby rabbits leave the nest<br />
when they are three weeks old<br />
and are about the size of a<br />
chipmunk. If you find a<br />
chipmunk-sized but fullyfurred<br />
rabbit with eyes open,<br />
ears erect, and the ability to<br />
hop, they are meant to be on<br />
their own. As small and helpless as they may look, they are<br />
not an orphan and do not need your help.<br />
RACCOONS<br />
Raccoon mothers must<br />
leave their babies<br />
unattended for periods of<br />
time while they travel<br />
around to find food. In<br />
mom raccoon’s absence,<br />
the youngsters sometimes<br />
get in trouble (e.g. fall<br />
out of their nest tree) when they explore outside their nest.<br />
Another reason the raccoon kits may be alone is their family<br />
may have been displaced from their nest, and the mom may<br />
have had to go off exploring for a new den site. And even<br />
when she does find a new den, she can only carry one baby<br />
at a time.<br />
WILDLIFE AND RABIES<br />
If you are assisting young wildlife, it is IMPERATIVE that<br />
you protect yourself and others from being bitten or<br />
scratched. Rabies, a deadly virus, is common in Colorado<br />
and possible exposures to the virus (mammal bites and<br />
scratches) MUST be taken very seriously and handled<br />
properly. If you are bitten or scratched by a wild mammal<br />
IMMEDIATELY wash the wound thoroughly for several<br />
minutes with soap and running water. Then call a doctor for<br />
further advice.<br />
If you, or your dog or cat comes in contact and is bitten or<br />
scratched by a raccoon, skunk, bat, fox or coyote, please<br />
contact Tri-County Health Department at 303-220-9200<br />
and the Greenwood Village Code Enforcement/Animal<br />
Control.<br />
For more information, please call Greenwood Village<br />
Police Department Code Enforcement/Animal Control at<br />

ANNOUNCING THE<br />
VILLAGE READ<br />
BOOK FOR 2019<br />
Celebrating its third year, the<br />
Greenwood Village Cultural Arts<br />
Program has once again<br />
partnered with Arapahoe<br />
Libraries to present the “Village<br />
Read.” The idea encourages<br />
adults of all ages to read one<br />
book and participate in<br />
thought-provoking discussions and activities<br />
derived from the chosen book. The goals of the program are<br />
to encourage leisure reading, create community conversations<br />
and bring the community together through literature.<br />
This year the group has chosen the book Rush by Colorado<br />
author Jayme Mansfield. In Rush, Mary, a single mom, tries<br />
to strike her claim in the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1893. In<br />
competition with desperate homesteaders, ruthless land<br />
seekers and a sheriff determined to see her fail, Mary thrusts<br />
her flag in the dirt to claim 160 acres of her own. But with<br />
that claim, she risks more than<br />
she ever could imagine. Mary<br />
is faced with a past riddled<br />
with loss, hardship and<br />
reminders that a woman isn’t<br />
capable of surviving on her<br />
own. Will Mary’s stubborn<br />
and independent spirit keep<br />
her mired in the past? Or will<br />
she find forgiveness and love<br />
in the wild plains of the<br />
Midwest?<br />
This year’s program will begin<br />
with the Mayor’s Kick Off on<br />
August 1 at 6 p.m. at Koelbel<br />
Libraries. Greenwood Village<br />
Mayor Ron Rakowsky will<br />
interview the author and give<br />
Jayme Mansfield<br />
his insight into this year’s book. Books are available for<br />
purchase or checkout at the Curtis Center for the Art and<br />
Koelbel Library. All events will take palace in August. Check<br />
the Greenwood Village website for a complete listing of<br />
events and activities.<br />

LUSTERWARE<br />
ON DISPLAY<br />
AT CITY HALL<br />
Lusterware is a type of pottery<br />
or porcelain with a metallic<br />
glaze that gives the effect of<br />
iridescence, produced by<br />
metallic oxides in an overglaze<br />
finish. Staining glass vessels<br />
with copper and silver<br />
pigments was known from around the 3rd century AD,<br />
although true luster technology probably began sometime<br />
between the 4th and 8th centuries AD.<br />
Lusterware became popular in England during the 19th<br />
century where another sort of metallic lusterware was<br />
created which imparts the appearance of an object of silver,<br />
gold or copper. Wedgwood’s lusterware made in the 1820s<br />
spawned the production of mass quantities of copper and<br />
silver lusterware in England and Wales. Cream pitchers with<br />
appliqué-detailed spouts and meticulously applied handles<br />
were most common. Raised, multicolored patterns<br />
depicting pastoral scenes were also created, and sand was<br />
sometimes incorporated into the glaze to add texture.<br />
In the United States, copper lusterware became popular<br />
because of its lustrousness. Apparently, as gaslights became<br />
available to the rich, the fad was to place groupings of<br />
lusterware on mirror platforms to be used as centerpieces<br />
for dinner parties. Gaslights accentuated their lustrousness.<br />
The lusterware on display through <strong>June</strong> at Greenwood<br />
Village City Hall comes from a local, private collection.<br />
Most of these pots date back to the mid to late 1800s.
