THE MAYOR’S message
COVID-19 —
WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER
As we all work together to reduce the spread of COVID-19,
the health and safety of our nation is our
highest priority. We continue to monitor this
rapidly evolving pandemic. Village staff and I
are in constant contact with federal, state and
local agencies to share resources and
information. At the local level, Greenwood
Village has partnered with Arapahoe County to
combat COVID-19, through the formation of
a County Wide Incident Emergency
Management Command System. This
Command System includes an array of

agencies, law enforcement, and key personnel
from every city. We are also in daily
conversations with Mayors across the metro
area; the Governor’s Office, and the Tri-County
Health Department.
As part of our efforts to ensure the health and safety of the
community, we want to make sure you receive the most
updated information and resources to help your families and
businesses get through this public crisis. For your
convenience, we have established a designated web page on
our Village website — greenwoodvillage.com/covid19. This
site includes a wealth of information and is being updated as
information becomes available. There are also links to other
website resources that may be helpful to you listed below:
• greenwoodvillage.com/covid19
• Covid19.colorado.gov
• Tchd.org
• Cdc.gov
Access to City facilities are limited to employees until at least
April 26. This includes, but is not limited to, public business
and activities at City Hall (including Municipal Court) and
our Maintenance Facility. Please note the Curtis Center for
the Arts is temporarily closed. It is imperative to let you
know that even though we are currently operating under the
State’s Stay at Home Order through April 26, Village staff is
committed to deliver essential services. If you have questions
or need assistance from a department, please call City Hall’s
main number: 303-773-0252; for emergencies, please call
911. To access the department directory, visit
greenwoodvillage.com/directory. You may also email us at
thevillage@greenwoodvillage.com.
Lastly, I want to encourage everyone to patronize Greenwood
Village businesses that have
been deemed essential and
remain open. Many of
them have created unique
ways to support their
customers and our
community. One example
is our restaurants which are
now offering takeout,
delivery or curbside
services. You can find the
list on our website at
www.greenwoodvillage
.com/foodandbeverage.
This list is constantly being
updated for your
convenience.
Working together will
ensure everyone’s wellbeing
during this public
health crisis. Please check
in on the people in your
lives, including the

GOVERNOR’S
STAY IN PLACE ORDER —
EFFECTIVE UNTIL APRIL 26
On Wednesday, March 25, 2020, Governor Polis issued
an executive order requiring all Coloradans to stay in
place due to the presence of coronavirus disease
(COVID-19) in the State of Colorado. The Order is
effective until April 26 at 11:59 p.m. (unless rescinded
or modified by further Executive Order.). The Order was
precautionary due to the number of confirmed cases
continuing to increase, and to ensure the healthcare
system can serve those who require hospitalization.
The Stay in Place Order is mandatory. The Governor’s Order
requires that everyone in the State take extreme steps to stay at
their place of residence and avoid contact with anybody outside
their household. People should make every effort possible to
conduct only essential activities necessary to maintain health and
well-being, such as getting groceries, obtaining medical supplies
or medication, and/or engaging in outdoor activities like walking,
hiking or running while following other social distancing practices
such as keeping your distance of 6 feet from other people.
Unless you work for a critical business or are doing an essential
activity, you should stay home. Work from home is permitted and
encouraged where possible. Although this order does not apply to
critical business, social distancing will be mandated for those
businesses that remain open.
Under these Orders, parks in
Greenwood Village will
remain open for walking,
biking, hiking and running;
however; playgrounds, golf
courses (including disc golf
courses), basketball courts,
tennis courts, pickleball
courts, and picnic areas will
be closed.
Please do your part and
ensure everyone in your
household, including
teenagers and young adults,
comply with the Governor’s
Orders, including practicing
social distancing and avoid
any physical gathering outside
the family of your home.
Your efforts will help flatten
the curve, save lives, and get
us back to our daily routine
sooner.

ARAPAHOE COUNTY
PROPERTY TAX RELIEF
INTEREST WAIVED ON
CERTAIN TAX PAYMENTS
Businesses and individuals in Arapahoe County, who
intended to pay their property taxes in one installment
due April 30, now have the option of paying in two
installments. The first installment (one half of the total
tax due) may be paid with no interest added if paid by
April 20. The second installment will then be due June
15. Hopefully, this will provide some relief by spreading
out the tax payments and lengthening the time allowed
to pay without interest.
To take advantage of this relief, the tax payment must be
made by check or cash, via mail or deposited in the
secure drop box in front of the Arapahoe County
Administrative Building at 5334 S. Prince Street in Littleton.
Online and over-the-phone payments do not qualify for the
interest waiver.
At this time, no adjustments to tax payment due dates or
additional late interest waivers have been made. Full
payments made after April 30 and second half payments
made after June 15, will accrue statutory interest.
The above information does not apply to mass payments,
title company payments and delinquent payments for prior
years.

SAFETY TIPS
PROTECT
YOURSELF
AND OTHERS
EVERYDAY
PREVENTIVE ACTIONS
You can never be too careful with
coronavirus rapidly infecting
thousands of people globally each day.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) transmits
and behaves like the common cold or
the flu. This means it can be
transmitted by coughing, sneezing,
and by touching your eyes or mouth
after coming in contact with the virus.
• Cough or sneeze into your sleeve, or
if you use a tissue then discard the
tissue and promptly wash your hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who
are sick.
• Stay home while you are sick and
avoid close contact with others.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and
mouth.
• Wash your hands often with soap
and water for at least 20 seconds.
• If soap and water are not readily
available, use an alcohol-based hand
sanitizer that contains at least 60%
alcohol if hands are not visibly soiled.
Make sure to wash your
face covering frequently.
• Clean and disinfect surfaces you use
regularly; Use soap and water to
clean surfaces like counter tops and
door handles that you use on a
regular basis. Lysol, Clorox and
other materials marked as
“disinfectants” are proven to be
effective at reducing the spread of
coronavirus. Make sure that the
substance you use as an alcohol
content of at least 60%.
• Always wear a mask when going
outdoors or to the grocery store.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR
EMOTIONAL HEALTH
It is important during this time to take
care of your physical health, you also
need to pay attention to your
emotional health. You can reduce your
stress by taking positive steps to
protect yourself and your loved ones.
• Take care of yourself by doing
things to relax you, such as
breathing deeply; listening to
music; enjoying sports, hobbies or
reading.
• Move your body/exercise, eat
healthy, and get enough sleep.
• Check-in with your friends, coworkers,
and family.
• Take breaks from the news and
social media. Make sure that your
information only comes from
reputable sources.
• Develop a COVID-19 disaster
kit so that you will have the
supplies you need if you or a loved
one gets ill.

SOCIAL DISTANCING:
WHAT YOU
NEED TO KNOW
What is Social Distancing?
Think small. Avoiding gatherings and
maintain distance (approximately 6
feet) from others when possible. If you
know someone who is sick, avoid
physical contact with them. That
means no hugs, no kisses and no
shaking hands. If you touched
something that they just touched,
wash your hands.
Chances are if you know someone
with the coronavirus, they are most
likely in some form of quarantine.
However, if you happen upon an
individual with coronavirus who has
not been quarantined yet, don’t come
in physical contact with them.
Stay in your house unless you need
to:
• Go grocery shopping
• Need to see a doctor
• Need to go to work (if you’re not
working from home)
By practicing social distancing, we can
reduce contact between people to slow
down the spread of the virus. Even if
you are symptom-free and not part of
a high-risk group or an older adult,
you still need to practice social
distancing. GV

GOVERNMENT
GVPD WARNS ABOUT
CORONAVIRUS SCAMS
With the rapid spread of COVID-19 and the escalating
government response, there has been an increase in
COVID-19 related scams. If you feel you have been a victim
of a scam, please report it to the Police Department at
303-773-2525.
Fake Charities: When a major health event happens — like
the coronavirus — people look for ways to help. Some
scammers use names that sound a lot like the names of real
charities. Make sure you do your own research before giving.
Fake Stimulus Check Inquiries: As the stimulus checks get
ready for processing, remember the following:
• The government will never ask you to pay anything
upfront to get this money.
• The government will not call to ask for your social
security number, bank account or credit card number.
• Nobody can get you’re the money now to avoid the wait.
Fake Emails, Texts And Phishing: Scammers use fake emails
or texts to get you to share valuable personal information —
like account numbers, social security numbers, or your login
IDs and passwords. They use phishing emails to get access to
your computer or network. If you click on a link, they can
install ransomware or other programs that can lock you out
of your data. Scammers often use familiar company names or
pretend to be someone you know.
Robocalls: Scammers are using robocalls to pitch everything
from scam Coronavirus treatments to work-at-home schemes.
What to do? Hang up. Don’t press any numbers. The
recording might say that pressing a number will let you speak
to a live operator or remove you from their call list, but it
might lead to more robocalls, instead.
Undelivered Goods: Online sellers claim they have indemand
products, like cleaning, household, and health and
medical supplies. You place an order, but you never get your
shipment. What to do? Check out the seller by searching
online for the person or company’s name, phone number and
email address, plus words like “review,” “complaint” or
“scam.” If everything checks out, pay by credit card and keep
a record of your transaction.
Misinformation And Rumors: Scammers, and sometimes
well-meaning people, share information that hasn’t been
verified. What to do? Before you pass on any messages, and
certainly before you pay someone or share your personal
information, do some fact checking by contacting trusted
sources.
Here are some tips to help guard you against scammers:
• Don’t click on links from sources
you don’t know.
• Watch out for emails claiming to
be from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) or
experts saying that have
information about the virus.
• Ignore online offers for
vaccinations. There are no
vaccinations available.
• Be alert to “investment
opportunities.” The U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC)
is warning people about online
promotions, including on social
media, claiming that the products
or services of publicly-traded
companies can prevent, detect, or
cure coronavirus and that the
stock of these companies will
dramatically increase in value as a
result. GV

TRAIL ETIQUETTE AND
SAFETY FOR PEDESTRIANS,
EQUESTRIANS
AND BICYCLISTS
PARKS AND TRAILS ARE BUSIER THAN
USUAL RIGHT NOW; PLEASE MAKE SURE
YOUR FAMILY IS FOLLOWING THE 6 FOOT
RULE FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING AT ALL TIMES.
Just like dining in a fine restaurant, there is
proper etiquette when using area trails. Though
the look of multiuse trail signs may differ, the
right-of-way order is universal: bicyclists yield
to everyone; pedestrians yield to equestrians;
equestrians always have the right-of-way and do
not yield to bicyclists or pedestrians.
Pedestrians — of course it’s more fun to walk
side-by-side to talk with your walking buddies
than to walk single file but please be aware that
taking up the whole trail makes it difficult for
bicyclists and equestrians to pass safely. Stay to
the right and close to your walking partner.
Equestrians — It is safest to ride single file but
as with pedestrians, many prefer to ride sideby-side
to talk with friends. Be aware that two
horses riding take up a lot of trail space,
making it difficult for others to pass safely.
Trails in the Village are multiuse, so you will
encounter bicyclists and pedestrians; it is the
rider’s responsibility to ensure that their horse
in under control. Also keep in mind that many
people are not familiar with horses and do not
understand that objects such as bikes and
runners coming up behind them can scare your
horse. Be courteous and notify pedestrians
when passing. Horses should be held to a walk
or trot on the High Line Canal Trail for the
safety of all users.
Bicyclists — bicyclists yield to both
pedestrians and equestrians. Be courteous to
other users and keep right when possible.
Verbally alert others when you are approaching
to pass; call out “on your left” or “on your
right” as pedestrians and equestrians may not
hear you approaching. The speed limit on
Village trails is a maximum of 15 MPH,
depending on conditions.
Some Notes About Horses — Have you ever
noticed a horse jump? Here’s why: horses are
easily scared. In nature, horses are prey. Horses’
eyes are situated on the sides of their heads
which causes objects to appear to jump from
one side of their vision to the other. This can
trigger the horse’s instinct to flee. Pedestrians be
aware that if you get too close to a horse (closer
than the horse’s leg length) you are in danger of
getting kicked, especially if you surprise the
horse. When approaching or passing a horse,
keep your dog on a tight leash and on the side
away from the horse. Dogs unfamiliar with
horses may be fearful or try to jump at the
horse. Don’t forget to use your voice by stating
“on your left” instead of using your bell, which
may scare a horse.
For more information, please call Parks, Trails,
and Recreation at 303-486-5773. To report
unsafe user behavior on Village trails, please call
the Police Department at 303-773-2525. GV
SOCIAL DISTANCING AND WALKING YOUR DOG
Respect space and distance with other
dog walkers, keeping a 6 foot distance at
all times.
To avoid a negative interaction with other
dog walkers, follow these tips:
• Every dog behaves differently when
walking outside. Take frequent small
steps in introducing your dog to a new
environment, such as a new park or
trail. The more your dog is familiar
with its environment the less anxiety
the dog will display, such as
aggressiveness toward other
approaching dogs and strangers.
• Use a training collar when walking
your dog, i.e. choke chain collar or
choke nylon collar, to be used only
for correcting and controlling your
dog when an encounter occurs
during a walk.
• Use only a leash that is no longer
than six feet in length that is not
retractable. A retractable leash is not
a good training tool to keep your dog
at a consistent distance when
walking. A six- foot leash gives
better control of the dog in advance
of any encounter that may occur.
• While training your dog on a leash,
choose times during the day that are
not busy with frequent dog walkers.
• Consult with a professional dog trainer
in getting information on how your
dog can be conditioned to walk in
locations with high pedestrian traffic.
Your dog’s body posture is the key.

BLACK CUBE SELECTS
CURTIS CENTER
TO PARTICIPATE
IN NEWEST PROJECT
The Curtis Center for the Arts was
selected by Black Cube, a gallery
without walls, to participate in their
latest project, SHARE. SHARE is a
series of 100 small-scale, bronze,
sculptural text installations by Mexico
City-based artist and Black Cube
Fellow, Anuar Maauad. The artworks
are installed on building facades
throughout the Denver area.
Each sculptural phrase mimics the
thick, geometric, slab serif font and
gold coloring of the iconic Trump
Tower sign. Maauad’s series of text
installations are approachable in scale
and relay an uplifting message: “To
share is precious, pure, and fair.” The
phrase is a lyric from “I Want You” by
American singer and songwriter
Marvin Gaye.
In doing so, the artist subtly
transforms an icon synonymous with
power into an artwork that symbolizes
kindness. By engaging numerous
public sites throughout the
community and encouraging members
of the community to disseminate a
positive anecdote, the artist is literally
acting out the message of his work.
The artwork at the Curtis Center for
the Arts can be found on the north
side of the building. More information
can be found at www.blackcube.art.

“art festival” setting under a tent located outside of the
Curtis Center for the Arts.
The event takes place Saturday, September 12, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
