GREENWOOD<br />
VILLAGE DAY<br />
If you attended Greenwood Village<br />
Day in July, I hope you had a great<br />
time like I did. The event this year<br />
was extra special for me as it was my<br />
last Greenwood Village Day as your<br />
Mayor. The Parks, Trails, and<br />
Recreation staff<br />
did a superb job<br />
of bringing it all<br />
together to make<br />
this event the<br />
best one yet! I<br />
want to thank<br />
every resident<br />
that attended for<br />
your thoughtful<br />
comments and heartfelt<br />
recognition during the event. There are no words to express<br />
how appreciative I am of being able to serve as your Mayor<br />
for eight and 2/3 years and living in this community for 31<br />
years. The people of this community are truly the reason why<br />
Greenwood Village is a special place. Thank you so much!<br />
BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY<br />
Whether your student is headed back to elementary, middle,<br />
or high school, <strong>August</strong> can be an exciting, yet busy, time for<br />
everyone as they prepare for another year of learning. With<br />
all the fun and excitement, I want to ensure parents, as well<br />
as students, are aware of back to school safety tips to start the<br />
new school year right. You can find these important tips,<br />
provided by your Police Department on pages 8 and 9 of this<br />
<strong>Newsletter</strong>. If you ever have any concerns related to your<br />
child’s safety, including traffic safety around schools, please<br />
don’t hesitate to contact your designated Police School<br />
Resource Officer or the Police Department at 303-773-2525.<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 />
BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY<br />
TRAVELING TO AND FROM SCHOOL<br />
School Bus<br />
• If your child’s school bus has lap/shoulder seat belts, make<br />
sure your child uses one at all times when in the bus.<br />
• Wait for the bus to stop before approaching it from the<br />
curb.<br />
• Do not move around on the bus.<br />
• Check to see that no other traffic is coming before<br />
crossing the street.<br />
• Make sure to always remain in clear view of the bus driver.<br />
• Tell your child not to bend down in front of the bus to tie<br />
shoes or pick up objects, as the driver may not see him<br />
before starting to move.<br />
• Children should always board and exit the bus at locations<br />
that provide safe access to the bus or to the school<br />
building.<br />
Cars<br />
• All passengers should wear a seat belt and/or use an ageand<br />
size-appropriate car safety seat or booster seat.<br />
• All children younger than 13 years of age should ride in<br />
the rear seat of vehicles. If you must drive more children<br />
than can fit in the rear seat (when carpooling, for<br />
example), move the front-seat passenger’s seat as far back<br />
as possible and have the child ride in a booster seat if the<br />
seat belts do not fit properly without it.<br />
• Require seat belt use and limit the number of teen<br />
passengers. Do not allow eating, drinking, cell phone<br />
conversations or texting to prevent driver distraction; and<br />
limit nighttime driving and driving in inclement weather.<br />
Bicycles<br />
• Always wear a bicycle helmet, no matter how short or<br />
long the ride.<br />
• Ride on the right, in the same direction as auto traffic.<br />
• Use appropriate hand signals, and respect traffic lights and<br />
stop signs.<br />
• Wear bright colored clothing to increase visibility.<br />
Walking To School<br />
• Make sure your child’s walk to a school is a safe route with<br />
well-trained adult crossing guards at every intersection.<br />
Make sure your child walks to school on a safe route and always<br />
with at least one other child.<br />
• Carefully consider whether or not your child is ready to<br />
walk to school without adult supervision.<br />
• Brightly colored clothing will make your child more<br />
visible to drivers.<br />
• Teach your child never to talk to strangers or accept rides<br />
or gifts from strangers. Remember, a stranger is anyone<br />
you or your children don’t know well or don’t trust.<br />
• Be sure that your child knows his or her home phone<br />
number and address, your work number, the number of<br />
another trusted adult and how to call 911 for emergencies.<br />
BULLYING<br />
When Your Child Is Bullied<br />
• Help your child learn how to respond by looking the<br />
bully in the eye, stand tall and stay calm, and walk away.<br />
• Teach your child when and how to ask for help and make<br />
friends with others.<br />
• Alert school officials to the problems and work with them<br />
on solutions.<br />
• Make sure an adult who knows about the bullying can<br />
watch out for your child’s safety and well-being when you<br />
cannot be there.<br />
When Your Child Is The Bully<br />
• Be sure your child knows that bullying is never OK.<br />
PG. 8 GV NEWSLETTER | AUGUST 2019
GOVERNMENT<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<br />
traffic. When you rush one light you often just get<br />
stopped at the next one.<br />
• Be patient, be aware. Many people are distracted 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<br />
are 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 />
Drivers should be cautious when driving around schools and<br />
obey all traffic regulations for the safety of students.<br />
• Set firm and consistent limits on your child’s<br />
aggressive behavior.<br />
• Be a positive role model, and use effective,<br />
non-physical discipline, such as loss of<br />
privileges.<br />
• Develop practical solutions with the school<br />
principal, teachers, counselors, and parents<br />
of the children your child has bullied.<br />
DRIVERS IN SCHOOL ZONES<br />
• The Flashing Yellow Light, School Zone<br />
areas indicate that traffic must slow<br />
down from the beginning of the lights<br />
until the next speed limit sign or signage<br />
that indicates the school zone has ended.<br />
School Zone times vary, and it is the<br />
driver’s responsibility to be aware and drive<br />
according to the posted signs and lights.<br />
• Fines are doubled in school zones.<br />
• Stop for school buses. Colorado law<br />
dictates a driver of a vehicle, upon meeting<br />
from either direction any school bus which<br />
has stopped and has activated its red<br />
flashing lights, is required to stop the<br />
vehicle. Drivers do not need to stop for a<br />
school bus upon meeting or passing a<br />
school bus which is on a different roadway.<br />
School bus drivers are authorized to report<br />
violators to the appropriate law<br />
enforcement agency who may issue a<br />
citation on the basis of the information<br />
provided.<br />
• Remember that the sun can obscure your<br />
vision any time of the year. Use visors<br />
and sunglasses to reduce glare and make it<br />
easier to see pedestrians.<br />
• Pedestrians, once in a crosswalk, have<br />
the right of way. If you maintain a safe<br />
speed for conditions and foot traffic you<br />
should have plenty of time to slow down<br />
and stop safely.<br />
For more information on back to school safety tips or rules<br />
for drivers in school zones, please call the Police Department<br />

OUR NATURAL<br />
environment<br />
WATER QUALITY:<br />
EVERYONE<br />
PLAYS A PART<br />
The Village is a beautiful place to live,<br />
work and play. We enjoy parks, trails,<br />
open space and drainageways,<br />
including streams and ponds, and the<br />
entire community takes pride in<br />
protecting and preserving our natural<br />
environment. However, maintaining a<br />
high quality environment is no small<br />
task, especially when it comes to our<br />
surface water resources and water<br />
quality. Although the Village works<br />
together with residents and businesses<br />
to protect these valuable resources to<br />
maintain quality of life, we need your<br />
help to continue to make it better.<br />
Water quality is important for all,<br />
whether you drink, fish, swim or enjoy<br />
a walk along a drainageway, we all play<br />
a role in keeping our environment<br />
clean and free of pollutants.<br />
WHAT IS STORMWATER?<br />
Perhaps one of the greatest impacts to<br />
surface water resources is pollutants in<br />
stormwater runoff. Stormwater runoff<br />
occurs when rain or snowmelt flows<br />
over impervious (non-absorbent)<br />
surfaces such as rooftops, driveways,<br />
parking lots, and streets. This runoff<br />
moves over these impervious surfaces<br />
and makes it way to storm drains, and<br />
eventually drainageways, streams and<br />
ponds. The runoff picks up trash,<br />
sediment, chemicals (fertilizers,<br />
herbicides, pesticides, oil, etc.), pet<br />
waste, and other pollutants and<br />
deposits them directly into water<br />
bodies that we use for fishing,<br />
swimming and drinking. These<br />
pollutants can also affect aquatic<br />
habitat and wildlife. Stormwater<br />
runoff is not cleaned in a water<br />
treatment plant like the water used in<br />
your home so it is important to reduce<br />
the chances of pollutants becoming<br />
accidentally or intentionally<br />
introduced into our surface water and<br />
environment.<br />
ELIMINATING<br />
ILLICIT DISCHARGE<br />
An illicit discharge occurs when<br />
something other than stormwater is<br />
allowed to enter the storm drainage<br />
system. The term “illicit discharge”<br />
generally refers to any discharge to the<br />
storm drain system that is not<br />
composed entirely of stormwater. The<br />
cause can be intentional such as when<br />
someone deliberately dumps<br />
chemicals, waste or trash into the<br />
storm drain. Illicit discharges can be<br />
accidental (from a sanitary sewer or<br />
grease trap overflow or motor vehicle<br />
accident) and unintentional, when<br />
people leave household chemicals,<br />
grass clippings or pet waste in an area<br />
where stormwater may carry the<br />
contaminant to the storm drain.<br />
There are allowable non-stormwater<br />
discharges that can be discharged into<br />
the storm drain. These include but are<br />
not limited to potable water sources<br />
including firefighting activities that do<br />
not contain hazardous materials, street<br />
sweeper wash water, landscape<br />
irrigation, dechlorinated swimming<br />
pool discharges, uncontaminated sump<br />
pumps/foundation drains, water line<br />
flushing, agricultural stormwater<br />
runoff, diverted stream flows,<br />
uncontaminated groundwater and<br />
others listed in the Villages’ municipal<br />
code. The Village has a regulatory<br />
mechanism that includes enforcement<br />
actions and trained staff to detect<br />
pollutants, but also relies on residents<br />
and businesses to report suspicious<br />
activity that may contribute to an<br />
illicit discharge.<br />
The goal of the Village’s illicit<br />
discharge detection and elimination<br />
system is to reduce the frequency and<br />
environmental impacts of illicit<br />
discharges that are accidentally or<br />
intentionally dumped into the storm<br />
drain system.<br />
HOW CAN YOU HELP?<br />
Becoming aware of the outcome of<br />
everyday activities will reduce the<br />
chances of pollutants becoming<br />
accidentally introduced into our water<br />
and the environment. As Village<br />
residents, each of us can play a role in<br />
protecting our water and the<br />
environment. The next time you see<br />
water runoff during a snow or rain<br />
event, think about the people<br />
downstream who count on us for clean<br />
water and wildlife that depend on it<br />
for their survival, just as the people<br />
upstream affect the water you drink<br />
and use as well.<br />
• Never dump anything down a<br />
storm drain.<br />
• Ensure carpet cleaners and mobile<br />
pet washing operations dispose of<br />
wastewater to an indoor drain or<br />
drain to a landscape area where the<br />
water can infiltrate.<br />
• Dechlorinate pool water before<br />
draining and try to divert the flow<br />
to a landscape area to allow the<br />
water to infiltrate into the ground.<br />
Ensure that no downstream<br />
flooding or erosion occurs.<br />
• It’s more convenient than ever to<br />
recycle paint products in Colorado.<br />

• Participate in the Village’s<br />
Household Hazardous Waste<br />
curbside pickup by calling<br />
800-449-7587. Visit<br />
www.greenwoodvillage.com for a<br />
list of acceptable items for pickup.<br />
• Pick up and properly dispose of pet<br />
waste. Pet waste stations can be<br />
found along Village parks and trails.<br />
• Keep your street clean of debris and<br />
litter by keeping waste receptacle<br />
lids secured.<br />
• Properly dispose of yard waste by<br />
mulching or bagging leaves and<br />
grass clippings and do not sweep or<br />
blow yard waste into the street or<br />
gutter.<br />
• Avoid excessive use of yard<br />
chemicals, use phosphorous free<br />
fertilizers and perform a soil test<br />
before application. Read labels,<br />
apply sparingly — more is not<br />
better. Ensure that grass clippings<br />
are swept back onto the grass and<br />
not in the street.<br />
• Use phosphorous free soaps when<br />
washing your car and let the water<br />
drain to a landscape area. Consider<br />
using a commercial car wash, which<br />
conserves water and sends used water<br />
to the wastewater treatment plant.<br />
PLEASE REPORT<br />
ILLEGAL DUMPING<br />
In order to keep our environment<br />
clean and to protect our high quality<br />
of life, please report any suspected<br />
illegal dumping or illicit discharge by<br />
calling Greenwood Village Public<br />
Works at 303-708-6100 during<br />
normal business hours. After normal<br />
business hours, please call Police<br />
Dispatch at 303-773-2525.<br />
How to detect an illicit discharge:<br />
Visual observations of anyone<br />
dumping ANY substance into a storm<br />
drain inlet or into the flow line along<br />
the curb and gutter on any street.<br />
Keep your safety in mind and if<br />
possible, record the location, date,<br />
time and license plate number rather<br />
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO PROTECT<br />
WATER QUALITY IN OUR WATERWAYS<br />
than approach the potential violator at<br />
the time of the incident. Note any odd<br />
color, odor, sheen or floatable<br />
materials observed within storm<br />
drains, along roadways, open space,<br />
streams and ponds.<br />
For more information about the<br />
Village’s illicit discharge detection and<br />
elimination program or Household<br />
Hazardous and Electronic Waste<br />
Program, please call Public Works<br />
Department at 303-708-6100. GV<br />
Historically, in the Front Range, waterways including streams, ponds, and lakes have<br />
seen water quality impacts with excessive algae growth. Although some algae can be<br />
beneficial, excessive algae growth can be unsightly, decrease dissolved oxygen levels,<br />
and emit odor. This can negatively impact aquatic life, and interfere with swimming,<br />
fishing, and other recreational activities.<br />
Such upsets can be contributed to weather, stormwater runoff laden with nutrients<br />
including nitrogen, phosphorous, pet waste, algae accumulation, and in some cases,<br />
non-natural contributions from illicit activity. Although there are means to treat these<br />
symptoms, it is better to treat it at the source. Preventing these natural upsets from<br />
occurring in the first place is preferable and less costly than controlling once they<br />
become a problem.<br />
The key to long-term control is limiting and reducing the input of pollutants to<br />
waterways. Pollutants include nutrients, pet waste, leaves and grass clippings, fertilizers<br />
(which contain phosphorous and nitrogen), pesticides, soaps, and detergents.<br />
• Pick up after our pets.<br />
• Properly apply fertilizer and pesticides.<br />
• Ensure that grass clippings remain on the grass and are not swept into the gutters<br />
and waterways.<br />
• Ensure carpet cleaning services properly dispose of waste water.<br />
• Participate in Household Hazardous Waste Pickup by calling 800-449-7587 for<br />
information and to schedule a pickup time.<br />
For disposal of paint care products, participate in the Colorado Paint Stewardship<br />
program at www.paintcare.org or call 855-724-6809 to find your nearest drop off site.<br />

High speed, team challenge-based<br />
work outs that are low-impact…<br />
this is ROW HOUSE. This new<br />
exciting workout routine is designed<br />
to build muscle, burn calories and<br />
strengthen your core within a 45-<br />
minute class. The combination of the<br />
low-impact cardio, resistance training,<br />
stretching and rhythm-based rowing is<br />
a rewarding and energetic workout for<br />
all ages.<br />
The owners of the Row House<br />
Greenwood Village, Brandon and<br />
Dayana Gill, are excited to open this<br />
new health fitness studio. Dayana is<br />
from Brazil where she was a Physical<br />
Therapist. After coming to Colorado,<br />
she opened her own Pilates studio<br />
where she met her husband Brandon.<br />
After a break to start a family, the Gills<br />
yearned to get back to helping<br />
individuals reach their fitness goals<br />
and found Row House.<br />
Rowing is considered one of the most<br />
effective workouts and has been<br />
rejuvenated from a lonely basement<br />
workout thanks to Row House. Their<br />
45-minute workouts target 85% of<br />
your body specifically focusing 30%<br />
on core strength, 10% on upper body<br />
and 60% on legs. Classes are<br />
continually being tweaked to make<br />
them more enjoyable and effective.<br />
They are frequently creating new<br />
challenges and workout styles<br />
including team races to a meter goal<br />
ROW HOUSE GREENWOOD VILLAGE<br />
The Landmark Greenwood Village * 7600 Landmark Way • www.therowhouse.com<br />
Seven Days A Week • Starting at 5 a.m. and Ending with last class at 8 p.m.<br />
and music themed workouts. The goal<br />
for Row House Greenwood Village is<br />
to foster an environment that will<br />
push the boundaries on fitness not<br />
only for long-term enthusiasts but to<br />
encourage others to join in and<br />
achieve their fitness goals.<br />
Row House Greenwood Village is<br />
designed around the concept of<br />
synchronization and getting everyone<br />
to row at a similar speed. The layout<br />
consists of multiple lines of row<br />
machines all facing the row coach. The<br />
room is designed to change the<br />
intensity of the workout from the<br />
high-speed rowing with neon lights<br />
and high energy music to get you<br />
pumped to more subtle cool down<br />
stretches that will focus on breathing<br />
with the backwall waterfall as the<br />
sound to relax and restore the body<br />
and mind.<br />
Dayana and Brandon see great<br />
potential in the Row House<br />
Greenwood Village as they have the<br />
ability to develop and make changes to<br />
build a new fitness culture and vibe<br />
around the Row House name. This<br />
studio offers a merchandise front end<br />
with changing rooms to get ready for<br />
class.<br />
Row House Greenwood Village is<br />
conveniently located in The Landmark<br />
East Tower and is connected through<br />
the lobby allowing residents direct<br />
access to Row House Greenwood<br />
Village without ever having to step<br />
outside. Dayana and Brandon said that<br />
they chose the space before they knew<br />
what fitness franchise they were going<br />
to open. Brandon, with his experience<br />
in real estate and being a Denver<br />
native, quickly recognized the benefit<br />
of opening a gym in Greenwood<br />
Village as it is home to a large healthconscious<br />
population.<br />
Row House Greenwood Village has<br />
classes throughout the day, 7 days a<br />
week, starting at 5 a.m. and ending<br />

THE VILLAGE<br />
READ FOR 2019<br />
Celebrating its third year, the<br />
Greenwood Village Cultural<br />
Arts Program has once again<br />
partnered with Arapahoe<br />
Libraries to present the<br />
“Village Read.” The idea<br />
encourages adults of all<br />
ages to read one book and<br />
participate in thoughtprovoking<br />
discussions and<br />
activities derived from<br />
the chosen book. The<br />
goals of the program are<br />
to encourage leisure reading, create<br />
community conversations and bring the community<br />
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<br />
desperate<br />
homesteaders, ruthless<br />
land seekers and a<br />
sheriff determined to<br />
see her fail, Mary<br />
thrusts her flag in the<br />
dirt to claim 160 acres<br />
of her own. But with<br />
that claim, she risks<br />
more than she ever<br />
could imagine. Mary is<br />
faced with a past<br />
riddled with loss,<br />
hardship and<br />
reminders that a<br />
woman isn’t capable of<br />
surviving on her own.<br />
Will Mary’s stubborn<br />
and independent spirit<br />
keep her mired in the<br />
past? Or will she find Jayme Mansfield<br />
forgiveness and love in the wild plains of the Midwest?<br />

GREENWOOD<br />
VILLAGE OPEN<br />
STUDIO TOUR<br />
In 2014, a group of artists located in<br />
rural Greenwood Village joined forces<br />
to begin what is now known as the<br />
Women of Steele Studio Tour. These<br />
women had been surprised to learn<br />
that between them they had four<br />
active art studios within a few hundred<br />
yards of each other in a neighborhood<br />
of quaint equine beauty.<br />
The circumstances were ideal for an<br />
event that would celebrate these artists’<br />
work and workspaces. Thus began<br />
their annual tradition of opening their<br />
art studios to the public for a day.<br />
Now in its fifth year, the studio tour<br />
has become a much-anticipated event<br />
with golf cart rides on dirt roads and<br />
guest artists.<br />
This year the City of Greenwood<br />
Village’s Cultural Arts Program has<br />
partnered with these artists to<br />
encompass more neighborhoods and<br />
more artists. The studio tour takes<br />
place on September 7 from 10 a.m. to<br />
6 p.m. There will be eight open<br />
studios, hosting 16 artists, located<br />
throughout Greenwood Village.<br />
Studios include: Pat Aaron (Painter,<br />
Printmaker, Sculptor); Deborah<br />
Carlson (Glass Artist); Connie Dines<br />
(Photographer); Joellyn Duesberry<br />
(Painter); Jennifer Freeman (Painter);<br />
Amy Mower (Jewelry Artist); and<br />
